Awesome!

I wasn't expecting Sprint to do something like this; if my broadband service (EVDO) was more reliable (it went down the crapper about 3 months ago), I'd consider purchasing this device just to get better coverage.

If Sprint started doing well enough, I could see them offering a higher-powered version of this device free to all of it's customers who have low-latency broadband to improve their "coverage".

Either way, I'd definitely be willing to pay $50 for a device such as this....hmm, wonder if I could get this "$15 a month for unlimited home calling" as a free perk with SERO? Hmm, time will tell.

Either way, this is an excellent device that will help people sever the landline service even more (heck, if you're into Sprint like me, this, would would need VoIP?).

AT&T Femtocell

For those hoping for at&t femtocell. This would work out perfectly if they roll out the dry dsl/cingular bundle plan. Viola! They would send you the Femto enabled 2wire device and your cell. Perfect.

Output watts: 0.083
Frequency range: 1930-1990MHz

Also says you can only use the 2dBi antenna.
The manual says it only outputs a max of 50mW.
I'm sure we'll be seeing higher gain antennas, not officially supported.

That shows many pictures. Can't tell if the antenna is removable.
It also shows another antenna you can use for GPS, looks to have plenty of length.

Just curious?

What will the broadband ISP think of this product?, any violation of the TOS?. Granted it's only voice/low speed data (1xRTT) but still will contribute to filling the intertubes.

Sprint's free for 15/month stuff

I can do close to the same thing with my wifi enabled phone and Skype for a lot less.

Yeah, but you probably still have a cellphone. Why buy a WiFi/Skype phone if you already have a cellphone that can be expanded with unlimited calling for $15/month plus have a much more reliable service.

Having multiple numbers/voice mail, etc. isn't worth the effort if you can get the best of both on your cellphone.

Re: Sprint's free for 15/month stuff

I have a regular cellphone that has wifi capability (PPC 6700). I'm not saying that Skype can do everything that Sprint's service can do. I am saying that it is a lot cheaper.

I got my ppc-6700 setup with xten for my Viatalk account. But I like the one phone number idea and the fact that it puts a tower in my house. It drives me nuts when I get voicemails and the phone never rang.

Have it up and running

well got mine last week. Did not have to pay anything for it so that was a nice surprise. So far it works as it should. Took them two days after I picked up the box to get it working but great is you have very bad signal and can get your min. drop to a very low plan.
