Yellow OR flashing Red (sorry Orange is not an option!)
Yellow is HSDPA
flashing Red is a SIM error - remove the SIM card - clean contacts with
a soft white pencil eraser, reinsert (a tiny fold of paper can be
inserted behind the SIM if it requires more pressure against the contacts)

HSDPA (again)

well it's *supposed* to be Violet, and it flashes

Yes you do! Now. :-D
Wikipedia will give you a nice explanation of the various protocols.
I'd suggest you give the device no choice eg.force it to only connect
UMTS using the AT commands.

Is that a Novatel U950??
The vendor code should be 0x1410 - what are the product codes please?
If so I suspect it's actually a rebadged Ovation MC950D using the
Qualcomm MSM7200 chipset.
If so the following will probably work for you
(should it break you may keep both pieces)
ATEI (get OK response)
AT$AUTOINSTALL=0
No longer need modeswitch. :-) It's only useful once anyway, and usually
only on Mac or Windoof, it's rare to see Linux drives on the virtual cd
(Alcatel have them, they just don't work).
I normally let that irritating fake cd mount just once (long enough to
copy the software somewhere safe should I ever need it) - then disable
the bl$%dy thing.
If any one know the AT command set for Alcatel I'd love to hear it -
I've never managed to figure out the ZCDRUN or equiv for them.
