Works perfectly! Took a little while for me, but works great.

The downside is that I'm new to coding and AT commands, it took a while to get it working but once I did it all loaded straight away. Haven't gotten a SIM for it yet so can't comment on call, text or data yet, but the GPS is there. I tested it in a Windows environment, had to do it via USB in Windows 7 and fiddle with the driver a bit, but everything worked with the test program. The DIP switch modes are a bit unclear, but it's just trial and error.

Pros
