said by grumpy3b:I already have 3G service via Millenicom for $59.95/mo with NO CONTRACT and free device. I can cancel anytime at no cost to me. It was over Sprint's EVDO but after some spat they apparently had where Sprint got their knickers in a twist, we are now over Verizon (I think? But does it really matter? they all stink on ice...). After a rough start my service is for the most part just fine...
So, I guess I could toss $1500 to AT&T for a device they decide is best for me or spend a bit less over the same period for a device that suits my needs perfectly. In fact I can take my connectivity with me wherever I go simply by dragging the USB EVDO device along if I know there will be a laptop/desktop around for my needs.
No thanks, I don't by into the corporate double-speak for today's cell phone market and will not ever do it for what amounts to a bigger cell phone. Better to buy a slate or tablet PC and have a fully functional PC is just slightly more space and remain completely free of forced compliance to the AT&T's of the world.
I also did not catch it but what does this mean in terms of these bandwidth caps which render a Netbook all but pointless for more than a few hrs a month is many cases.
There are plenty of Millenicom customers still on Sprint, myself included.
