Many of our customers have a notebook like the MacBook Pro that comes with the newer ExpressCard slot. Naturally, they can use either the Sprint EX720 or Verizon V740 Rev-A ExpressCard options, but they would really love to use the device they buy with their desktop computer as well.

They end up pondering for what seems like hours... or days... about whether or not they should get the ExpressCard, or the USB Modem which would work with any of their computers.

For their laptop, the ExpressCard option is much more aesthetically appealing than the USB device ... but the USB device works with all their computers. Decision, decisions.

Well, 3GStore.com is announcing a new product that gives these buyers one more thing to think about -- an ExpressCard-to-USB adapter:

We will sell and support this adapter for $49.99 which is cheaper than what we sell our PCMCIA to ExpressCard adapter for, and obviously the USB adapter provides more flexibility.

Anyone who bought their ExpressCard with service through 3GStore.com is entitled to a $10 discount. Email your name and/or invoice number to sales@ 3gstore.com to get your coupon code.

I upgraded to the Kyocera KPC 680 from the 650 to take advantage of the free every 2 years and Rev A. I also have the older PCMCIA slot on my PowerBook G4 running Leopard. The SIIG Express to USB adapter did not work. I spent 2.5 hrs with the Verizon wireless tech support and no dice. They let me do a direct exchange with the USB727 and it works like a charm. Download speeds were stupid (100-200) slow with it. Somewhere on this forum I saw that quantumdrift downloaded the Sprint drivers. Now I have download speeds of 900+.
