It might be better looking at the devices of this sort that are
supported by Network Manager.
It's a lot more than it used to be, that's for sure. :)

Guys, there's a deal on right now, mine arrived on friday:
http://www.3dongle4free.co.uk. £5 quid for postage.
The device is unlockable, it also doubles up as a memory card and
works perfectly on Ubuntu.
The firmware update [for unlock] is here and needs to be run under Windows XP,
instructions included: http://rapidshare.com/files/235523732/ZTE2.rar
The dongle itself is a ZTE MF627 and there are drivers for Mac OSX,
Linux and even some OS called "Windows" which I believe some people
are still using?
