T-Mobile UK router coming soon to join USB stick line?

Rumours abound of a T-Mobile UK router. Lots of rumours. I’ve been hunting for hard fact, but there’s not-a-lot-o-that as far as I’ve been able to see.

Speculation from some folks apparently in the know (salt, salt, pinch of course) is T-Mobile are due to hit the market with a ‘router’. Now. This could definitely be a US-style ‘T-Mobile@Home’ service. Or it could be something a little bit more exciting, particularly when various sources are mentioning it in the same breath as T-Mob’s USB stick.

We’ll see, eh?

    Draytek already do this. Their home broadband routers have a slot for mobile broadband USB sticks.

    I emailed T-mob in October '07 regarding T-Mobile@Home and they quickly replied with a link and phone number (08454122526). Sadly it was only for their Hotspots service
    By the way, whats the feedback about the service in the US?

    I've just been 'phoned by a T-Mobile representative who tried to sell me the USB dongle. When I said that I wasn't interested, but would be if they had a router so I could share the mobile broadband, she said that T-Mobile will have more information on this 'next week' and she'd call me back then. Maybe it's coming……..
