    Sorry to keep adding - GIZ: get an edit button for FSM sake!


    Does it have an external antenna connection? That would ROCK. To be able to add a high gain cellular antenna to this thing would really solve the last remaining connectivity problems with EVDO.

    serious bummer about the 5GB cap. Also, I think calling it unlimited pretty much qualifies as false advertising.

    I have to say, I really hate Saturdays and Sundays when I'm trying to procrastinate home work and there are only like 3 new articles on Giz.

    @soccer1105: Indeed. During the M-F work week, not only are there many more Giz articles, but the number of readers/comments goes skyrocketing--all those "workers" not actually, you know, working.

    These "sources familiar with the matter", are they anything like Angel's "the powers that be"? 'Cuz we all know how trustworthy they were.

    anybody got any leads on a good USB wifi router, that I can use with a Verizon Dongular Device. I checked the Internet but couldn't get a clear understanding if my Verizon USB internet device would work with any particular wi fi router.

    Poor WM5/6 users have had similar functionality built into their phones for what, year, year and a half?

    In reply to Novatel's Portable MiFi Does 3G Wi-Fi in a Beautiful Package
    Seems like a FAIL to me.


    You'll need some sort of 3G wireless plan to utilize it, and if you do, then you probably have a 3G device that's already capable of web browsing, email and numerous other interwebs fun.


    So, that begs the question...


    WTF? Why bother with this $200 purchase?
