 "Connectivity in semi-rural areas isnt that great or even sometimes existant"
 "Decent service, okay coverage, fast considering its WWAN"

Good service for those situations where you're on-the-road and need connectivity. Had service most of entire trip to Florida from NJ along the interstates. Quite impressive overall!
I have the Novatel S620 card (non RevA). Speeds are frequently a tad over 1Mbps downstream when in an EVDO area with good signal. 1XRTT mode runs about 90-120kbps in bursts.
In some of the more remote areas we've travelled the service was not available. I understand that Sprint now has roaming agreements with other carriers outside their footprint so that may have improved. Will know more and be able to better evaluate next summer while RV'ing.
So far I'm pleased, though $60/mo may be a little pricey.
