Hi Eleanor I can only vouch really for old Joik. Basically I think this is a great piece of kit to have on your phone. I've been away on business all week and used it in the hotel to capture my Emails. What I like about it is its accessibility. Once it's on the phone, you simply run it. It does run your phone's battery down if you leave it on indefinitely, but it's really fine for what I need, and no hassle as I have it anywhere with me when I want to turn the phone into a Joik!! (smile). I can't say how it compares to a dongle or Hotspot, but Joik works for me.
