Go for vodafone k3570-z . its cost is 1600 and it comes wih unlock by default, so you no need to unlock by some other softwares. I'm using this one from last 6 months. Fully satisfied.

Vodafone does not lock it?

i would recommend you should go with VisionTek's Device which comes Unlocked and has many other features like SMS, Voice Calling/Receiving Calls, Phonebook to stores some imp Numbers etc. and the GUI(Graphical User Interface) is very simple to use. i have checked it personally and am happy to own one.

but it supports only 3 mbps... which is lesser than most Huawei models.
