Actually, the other reason is to replace the ageing 8707 which also supports 3g and fulfills the remit when you need a device to operate in Japan and other far east countries that are 3g only.

Also, a number of users are using them as tethered modems as well.

At least, thats what I find.

Also, 3g BB makes for more satisfying browsing experience :)
