Nearly 2 months and still no word? Is it just that hard to make work or has it been bypassed for the NEXT latest greatest? I bought the U720 counting on/hoping for it to be supported by the KR1. A word of some kind would be nice if possible.

Well, my word isn't The Word™ by any stretch of the imagination but I will say that it is still in progress. There will be an additional security related fix that had to be developed as well.

have got USB720 from VZW, would like to see new firmware to fully support.

Local Fre's store has D-Link DIR-415 model, similar or same box as KR1, but can the latest firmware of KR1 be applied onto it?

I assume you mean the DIR-450? If so, KR1 firmware cannot be used on the 450 and the reverse is true as well. They are built on different hardware platforms that have different chipsets.

Well, yet another month passes without any new firmware. Any chance it's "coming soon?" If so, what exactly is the KR1 developer's definition of "soon"? Does anyone know? 3 months and more since the following post:

Maybe DLink will beat them to it with a firmware update this time? Laughing

Hello,

RK1010 firmware allows the Sprint U720 and Verizon USB720 to be completely compatible with the Kyocera KR1.

Lots more info at:

Kyocera KR1 Now Supports More EVDO Rev A Devices - EVDOinfo.com

Here is a Sprint U720 finally working, and notice the speeds:

Michael,

Does the KR1 come with a car power adaptor? I see a picture on your website but not sure if it's included in the advertised price or an optional accessory?

This is very good news and make this a lot more attractive than the newe 595U. Thanks for letting us know.

Yes, it comes with the car adapter in the box. At least it did in December when I got mine. That's one of things I think is so cool, A truly mobile hot spot cruising the highway at 70mph and 1000kbps!!

This is great news! Can't wait to try it.

Any idea if future Kyocera firmware updates will continue to have the issue of browser limitations, as in the past? Should I expect to have to use IE for downloading firmware if necessary?
