I was a bit annoyed when my s620 PCMCIA card died (a rare occurrence I was just unlucky) When my Sprint insurance replaced it with a 595u, I figured it was fine, a little bulkier but a revA so why complain?

Then I hooked it up in my house to test it with my HP/Compaq nc6400...and my first speedtest was 1940 download. Admittedly I am in a great coverage area, but this is far more than I ever expected.

I noticed that the HA makes a big difference with a connection this good, Florida and Cincinnati were the best, Chicago the worst, at least on that day. Still, any HA gave me 1200 minimum.

Now I am at the office where I just tested it again and I still can get 800-1200 download at -98 to -102 dBm. (1-2 bars)

All using the cradle BTW, the 595u is a bit slower directly connected. (About 25% slower by my quick testing)

RevA has changed my mind about the usefullness of cellular broadband, in the past it was the last resort, now it's as good as the T1s at many of our clients.

TBH, I found them by disconnecting/reconnecting and recording the HA's.
I have them written down at the office, I'll try to remember and post them on Monday.

I should have posted them here anyway to help update the list.
