Pros:

It works well, allows to use 3G network connection, but not so long. After a mounth of use can't access internet neither via 3G nor via 2G network, but still can register in operator network and send SMS. It seems that some hardware problem appears.

Cons:

Builded not so well, be careful with it. It is very diffucult to insert SIM.

Other Thoughts:

Modem case says that you're using ZTE MF636, but the circuit says it is BMC Incorporated HD360.
There were no IMEI and after it stop work I've wrote IMEI via QPST. That was not a reason, modem still can't access internet, but can send SMS.

Bottomline:

Will I buy it one more time? No. I'll prefer SIM-locked Huawei or ZTE from our russian operators.

Pros:

it works like it's supposed to. i.e. it will allow the buyer to connect to a 3G network.
the speed is decent.

Cons:

the build quality is not high. it feels like the modem will be damaged if dropped on the floor.
although the specs states that it is compatible with Windows 7, the modem does not work on my Windows 7 computer. But it works fine on an Windows XP computer.
the user manual is not useful. the modem installs an application that is different from what's shown in the user manual. so the buyer has to at least know how to change the settings.

Other Thoughts:

there is a light to show you which state the modem is in. red for disconnected/no network, green/blue for network detected/connected.
the first modem shipped to me was damaged. i requested for an exchange. the second modem i received is functional. it works within expectations.
did not try to install on android device, so unable to test that portion

Bottomline:

value for money. but buyer needs to at least be moderately proficient in changing the various settings

On Android no installing of driver reqied, just click on Turn ON mobile networks and set-up the APN settings...

Cons:

On windows 7 x64 I had probmlems with instalation of drivers, I used Google and after one hour It was OK. Is needed to set Comatibility mode for instalator and later for the application, then It was working ok.
The TF card slot didn't work for me. Plug in and out the TF card is too dificult.

Other Thoughts:

Made of plastc, but it's not bad build quality.

Bottomline:

For this price It's awesome.
I didn't get full 7,2 Mb/s speed only at about 2,2 Mb/s downlink and 0,36 Mb/s uplink wich if fine speed.
