We were in Italy in May/June of 2011. Internet was spotty in many places. Some places said they had WiFi but it worked poorly or not at all. This device worked great and kept all of our devices online.
Took a while to find the correct place to purchase a Sim card but finally was able to get one from a TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile) store. Vodaphone would not sell a Sim card even though they sell an identical device.
It should be noted that data rates in Italy are a bargain. For 25 euros I got a 100-hour, UNLIMITED data SIM card. It is 100 hours by USAGE; not by the calendar (or clock) like in the USA. 100 hours lasted us the entire 3-week trip. Too bad we can't get something like this in the U.S.!
As others have mentioned, the device runs a bit warm and the battery life could be better but since it works just fine while plugged in the AC power it wasn't a big issue.
Quirks:
Occasionally seems to lock up. All lights are on but there is no throughput & it won't turn off. Copying a page from my Blackberry's playbook - I removed the battery and then put it back in. Presto! - it works properly again.
If the electricity goes out while you are charging the device and then comes back on, the device turns itself on even though it had been powered off. If you are in an area where the electricity is flakey don't charge the device if you aren't around or you might use up your purchased time.
