I had a conversation with the president of the company and their USB EVDO modems ARE compatible with:

I just started researching evdo; the laptop I am considering does not have a pcmcia slot. I am hoping between this company and/or falcom, a usb evdo modem is announced soon. Lack of pcmcia slots are becoming more common and in my opinion short sighted on the pc manufacturers.

Does a particular modem have to be authorized by verizon to be activated? I am currently using a GSM phone for voice, which does not have these issues.

me?!

For CRYING OUT LOUD, why on

EARTH

are they building these things with EVDO capabilities

IF

there currently aren't any vendors willing to let the dam* devices work on their networks?

WHO are they building these devices for if all they are good for at the moment is to serve as itty bitty bookends?!

What is this, a STRIP-tease?!

*sheesh*

I just spoke with Mr. Kim too, their company President. He told me that they've already sold over 10 million of these devices in other countries all around the world including other big countries like Australia and China where evdo also exists.

He told me that they are working diligently on getting approval with Verizon and Sprint (he seemed to imply that they were closer to getting approval with Sprint) and that they were several months ahead of Falcom's progress.

Falcom itself has told me that they are still working on their software drivers and Mr. Kim claimed that you can't even begin the testing part of getting the carrier's approval process (Sprint and Verizon) going until the software drivers are completed, which made sense to me.

This waiting is a major PITA. Twisted Evil

It must be one of them very light and small can't do much mini laptops I got a gateway desktop replacement with a desktop pentium 4 with ht and it has got a pcmcia slot. I hate carrying around extra devices.

FYI, the cdu550 (silver one that says Hi EVDO) is the only one that will be available for the US, since it's the only one that does the 1900MHz band in addition to the 800Mhz band.
