ONLY get a RevA card - MUCH faster than your 650.

Replace it with a SPRINT Rev. A USB device. No worries about getting Slammed
for taking too much data....
I caught them kicking me down to 1XRTT rate after i would hit the magic 5Gb
level. Sprint doesnt care
how much you watch TV, listen to music or move large files...

You do know that's incorrect don't you? Sprint may not care about limits ON
THEIR OWN TOWERS, but if you travel/or are on someone elses tower at
work/home/travel, and you tranfer more data (or use voice) on someone elses
system INSTEAD of theirs, they cut you off...

Go with the Verizon USB720. Faster data over RevA. No more worries about
whether your laptop has old style PCCard or the newer ExpressCard format.
Can be plugged into any USB equipped PC, desktop or laptop, just load the
VZW software. Works with the Kyocera KR-1 router. Cable gives flexibility
for better signal reception in window, etc. Has external antenna jack for
booster antenna.

In the last year, I've gone from the KPC650 (old laptop) to the V640
ExpressCard (new laptop), and now finally to the USB720 (just had to get
RevA speed!). Hopefully this USB720 is a keeper for a while.

I also have a USB720 (which also replaced a V640) and I'll agree with all
of the above. The other Rev. A USB modem they sell, the Sierra Wireless
595U, might be good as well.
