Great Gadgets: Nokia CS-18 Internet Stick

Published on Aug 16, 2010   //  Gadgets

To maintain the mobile lifestyle, you likely want to have a good Internet connection with you everywhere you go. Sure, you could constantly go hunting for the nearest Wi-Fi hotspot, but it can be a lot more convenient with something like the Nokia CS-18 Rocket Internet Stick.

It may look like little more than your standard issue USB flash drive, but this Internet Stick actually contains a SIM card. It connects to the cellular network and allows your notebook or netbook to surf the web at surprisingly fast speeds. According to Nokia, the stick is good for up to 21.1Mbps download speed with up to 5.76Mbps for uploads.

There’s also a bonus microSD card slot built into the Nokia CS-18, which can come in handy for reading the small memory cards or simply using the Internet Stick like a USB thumb drive. The software for connecting to the Internet is also included and it can track the amount of bandwidth being used.

The Nokia CS-18 Internet Stick has been available through Rogers Wireless in Canada for a couple of months and it just recently launched with sister company Fido. If you sign a qualifying contract for your mobile data plan, you can have the Nokia stick for free.
