@kg11sgbg,i have been told that 3770z bought from "the mobile store" is already unlocked & ready to use with any sim.

yes he will require zte air dashboard.
^^i meant no need to even install a new dashboard.default vodaphone dashboard will work just fine.

no default vodafone dashboard needs to be bypassed to use other sim. This modem is soft locked.
@kg11sgbg,first just try aircel sim & see if modem identifies aircel network.

cool, and then can I use this with services like photon + or reliance netconnect? Is there some kind of sim available for them too?

Yes you can use netconnect and photon but the dashboard needs to be replaced to chinanet. PM me for unlocking support
^^why do you need this info?don't unnecessarily complicate things.simply use the default install & check if aircel sim works(it should according to someone i asked).remember when it comes to pc/mobile hardware/software the golden rule is:"if it ain't broke don't fix it".

^^ Truly said.
But for connecting the 3G USB Modem(K3770-Z) to my new VeeDee E10 Tablet(RECEIVED TODAY), I wanted to know the specs., fully. As I was browsing the Tablet,it was asking for the chipset name of 3G connection in ordered to be connected.
For Aircel sim to work(I have a 3G activated Aircel sim also), I want to use up the Vodafone (Rs.251/-, 1GB,30 days, Prepaid) package first.
Since,what Pratul_09 has referred,earlier,that this 3G USB modem is software locked!!!
Until & unless I change the dashboard settings,I am not going to take a risk.

give any name.i don't think your tablet will actually cross check name with some kind of hardware info.also risk is in installing new dashboard.if aircel sim doesn't work you can always install new dashboard later but if it works then no need to take any risk.i was told by someone that it should work without doing any thing extra like installing new dashboard so why not check it first.

@pratul you are fully correct,,this tablet works on, CDMA 3G dongles only ,as per the list of supported 3G dongles list
It is present inside settings.
@whitestar,my friend,I was unable to connect to the network using 'AIRCEL' sim card. The dongle is 'software locked' as mentioned by pratul.I have to unlock the dongle software and proceed for change in Dashboard.For the vodafone 3G activated sim,it is working as breeze in Winxdows-7 and also in Fedora-17.
I am writing these comments through VeeDee E10 Tablet, through ethernet connection,with the help of an USB-to-LA!N dongle(Rs.200/-) purchased from chandni mkt. Kolkata today.But a very painful experience in the wrist.
Network : BSNL DataOne Broadband plan ULD 900

@whitestar_999: Any advice for device Huawei e303c? seemingly this is coming unlocked with new aircel connection now for ~Rs800.

huawei 303c(there is a 303 model too,avoid that)seems good.the problem is to really test a 3g usb modem you have to use it continuously for 3-4 hours on 3g downloading(preferred but only possible for UL plans with FUP)/surfing to see if they are over-heating(normal heating is expected).
Were you able to use this vodafone - zte k3770-z device on other networks ?
@pratul @whitestar : the privious version sold by vodafone had same model number but it was a huawei device and that needed a new dashboard and wallah it worked - atleast that's what I am able to gather info here. the newer k3770-z is a zte-192 device and seemingly not working on BSNL networks even after unlocking - strange.
This device came back on my list to buy because of price..
