Last week, my friends Weiming gave me a HUAWEI EC169 3G (cdma2000) adapter for a trial. It is very nifty, looks just like a USB thumb drive. I plugged it into one of Dell D630's USB interface, Ubuntu starts to recognize it and configure it without any manual intervention. Soon Ubntu reports there is one mobile connection available, by clicking the connection, one configuration windows appears, simply typed in service provider name "China Telcom", it connected to the network. I saw a "ppp0" connection has been setup by issuing the command "ifconfig". Connection speed is not bad, download speed is 480Kbps to a local server. Overall, this is a very good product and Ubuntu is also excellent at supporting this device!
