Also worth noting that the Sprint version of MiFi 2200:

I like that Sprint decided to keep the brushed aluminum finish of the original prototype, very nice looking device. If it gets 3-4 hours of usage on battery, that will be welcome compared to the less than 2 hours I get on my PHS300.

Any ideas if it will be able to be used on an existing grandfathered data plan and bought without a new contract at regular price? I would hate to lose my unlimited data that I currently enjoy with my Compass 597 and PHS300.

And I assume 3Gstore will be carrying these?

Just made an interesting discovery...

The MiFi can be tethered to a single computer via USB, but while tethered, there is no WiFi signal broadcast.

There is also no way I can find to connect to the web admin of the router, while you are operating via USB tethered connection.

Baffling.

Hi Alex,

I currently have a Dell notebook with an embedded Sprint EV-DO card and a Sprint EV-DO unlimited $60/month plan. My 2-year contract expires October 2009. What is required to change to this MiFi device (software installation, setup, etc.) and can I keep my unlimited Sprint plan?

TIA

I have the Sprint Unlimited and had an Ovation U727 that died. The store gave me a MiFi to try. Have been testing trying to decide and have run into a problem I can't resolve.

We connect to a Dynamic DNS website for our company security camera's. It runs thru sbcglobal and doesn't have a static IP. We were doing fine accessing from home unti the MIFi but can't connect with the MiFi. To double check I went to neighbors land based system and it worked so I know it is the Mi Fi,\

Anyone got any ideas how to make it work???
