Novatel’s MiFi line has set a standard for the way mobile 3G routers are expected to look and work, but let’s be honest — there’s always room for improvement. We’ve been tipped today with word of Vodafone’s R201 model sourced from Huawei, a device we’ve previously seen in the FCC with support for full HSPA. It’ll handle up to five users at once — pretty standard for these kinds of devices — and feature an Overdrive-like OLED display up top and charging / tethering via micro-USB. That’s not the neat part, though: it’s said that the R201 will be the first mobile router to feature a microSD slot that can be shared among connected devices, effectively turning the whole setup into a micro-NAS. What say you, Novatel — time for a MiFi 2?
