    Just got today my 6 month old Sierra 595U has been having problems for 3 months died. Very badly designed USB plug. Anyway $300 is a lot but gotta have Internet. So it looks well built very small about the size of 4 sticks of chewing gum. 595U about 4 times bigger, very bulky shell.

    Other cool thing is a thumb drive can get up to a 32GB miniSD. No install disk just plug into any USB on any computer and can get Internet access and have my storage. I was going to get Sprint internal on my next notebook now don't think I will. Opens up a lot more choices. If I had signed up new for the service would of cost $0.
