How are you guys using it? What app should I search for? It doesn't show up in the market for me.

No. But they will give you a nice red rash.

You will get closest shave with plain manual razors. Gilette Mach 3 or the one your roadside barber uses.

Technically possible, and practically I have seen it. My phone is Nokia N79 that is armed with multislot class 32 EGPRS modem. A class 32 EGPRS is capable of 296Kbps download (37KBps). Vodafone fluctuates between 25-30KBps when I used it. But that's only bandwidth which helps in downloading. Browsing isn't very good as response times for page loading is slower and uses only about 50% of the total possible bandwidth. And I'm in a scarcely populated area, so no issue os spectrum shortage and probably no network shortage either. You will not get this bandwidth if you live in the heart of the city.

But the data cards I have seen have only multislot class 10 EGPRS modem that is capable of 236Kbps(29KBps) which is slightly lower.

Currently I'm missing my vodafone connection as aircel is painful. 10-20KBps download and for browsing the response times are incredibly slow and pages take 1-3 minutes to load :(
