KPC680 vs. KPC680c Verizon vs. Alltel

Did the disconnect issues that affected alltel users also affect Verizon users?

I did a search on Kyocera's model number KPC680 and found a lot of threads talking about Alltel replacing the KPC680 cards with KPC680c cards that fixed an issue where the card would go dormant, and not "wake-up" or reconnect. The new KPC680c version released after 7/1/08 fixed this issue.

What I want to know is, did this issue affect Verizon people as well? If so, does the 3Gstore ship out the KPC680c card to Verizon customers?

Thanks again.

though the verizon kpc680 has not been as popular as the v740, i can tell you that tech support has never warned the salesteam against selling the kpc680, nor have we had to ensure any specific hardware version was being sold.

i don't think this is an issue with verizon kpc680.

if you get one through 3gstore and experience any issues during the 30-day trial period, you can always exchange for the v740.

or, just get the usb727 and be done with it?

The Alltel KPC680c has EVDO Rev A firmware already installed. The previous Alltel KPC680 cards did not support EVDO Rev A without upgrading the firmware.

Verizon KPC680 have always supported EVDO Rev A.

Thanks for the tips. I went ahead and ordered the USB727 from 3Gstore last night based on the overall advice.

I'll keep you posted on how everything works out.
