    This is something that I did more than 2 years ago with my Scion xB... I have a 3G router... but when it got really cold or hot out it didn't work right... Wonder if this rugged one works better. Also its 450-500kbps, which is dog crap slow... they must be using ATT's slow 3G or something, because Sprint and Verizon is **** faster than 500kbps... I know that for a fact because I have a Sprint REVa card built into my Toughbook!

    $499...$399 on promotion? That thing looks like a Cradlepoint ( http://www.cradlepoint.com/) router with an aircard built into a plastic case...
