Anybody installed a Huawei E220 HSDPA 3G modem? Looking for install procedures, i have downloaded some files but have no idea where to start. Still trying to get to grips with Linux.

Different distros may have different levels of support, but it looks like it should work out of the box with NetworkManager 0.7. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G

This rather depends on the distribution. Most major distributions should have a good support for the Huawei E220 HSDPA Modem. Every distribution with kernel > 2.6.20 will have HSDPA support for Huawei E220 out of the box. The Problem in this case is less the hardware, than the proper configuration of wvdial / pppd.
