Dear Sprint:

As a loyal customer for many years i have but one request. Please stop being lame and following the herd. they do it better than you and you are becoming obsolete. bandwidth caps are for chumps. take it off and really differentiate yourself from verizon. and who uses baltimore as a test market? i'm pretty sure everyone there thought the same thing. and obviously hardware is a huge deal now-a-days so find something that you won't be useless after a year of use. i don't care what it costs you to secure the rights to something just friggin do it. your customer service is gettin better, but you still employ morons. give the guy in the store access to the system the guy at teletech has. it's a he said she said fiasco every time i need something done. i have more beef, but i am at work so will save it for later.

A monthly payment option would be nice... especially for those individuals who are already Verizon customers and cannot get Dell credit to get the Dell Mini.

@Zaxxon Q Blaque: If you need credit to buy a $300-$400 computer, you should not be buying one anyway.

I look at this as a decent alternative to their USB modems. The rates are the same, you have a daily fee option if it is just for emergencies, and it adds flexibility compared to the USB modems. For example, you can put the router by a window while working in a room with poor coverage. You also get to share the connection.

So, if you're likely to go with Verizon anyway, this seems like a decent option.

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?
