I hope this post is in the correct spot. Several members were so helpful on the 3g Alltel EVDO discussion with getting us set up with the UM150, (even finding a distributor w/o a contract) I thought I would try here for my next quandry:

I plan on purchasing the cradlepoint router from 3g for the house. The computers are used while I am not at home thus the need for the UM150.

Planning to purchase a new Alltel cell phone primarily for internet use while away from home, leaning towards a Blackberry. I travel in mostly rural areas. The phone may possibly be used for EVDO on a laptop in the near future.

I would appreciate any suggestions, options or warnings anyone has. Is Rev A supported by most of the phones now?

Thanks!

I recently added unlimited internet access through Alltel to my account. I use a Motorola KRZR. I love the phone and found it works well even where I work in a valley. I wish it had an external antenna jack but can't have everything. Take a look at this phone and I think you will be pleased. My wife has the same phone and it worked at her office where previous cell phones didn't work.
Good Luck,
Tim
