I was suppose to attend the #ThreeMiFi Launch Event yesterday, however due to other duties I had to attend to, I could’t be there but I had no doubt the event was going to be amazing and I was going to be missing out, but thanks to Three, they have managed to make my day with this white version of the E586, because now I can add to the collection of white gadgets I own. Read the press release below:

Ready for the winter, Three’s new high speed Mobile Wi-Fi device –will soon be available in a high gloss white design.
