    Hi- The TXN series offers 1 month free of Sprint Mobile Broadband service. Anyone taken the plunge and would like to offer remarks? I'm within the Chicago coverage area. Thanks.

    Remember that this is a for-pay service - EVDO will be a charge on top of your normal cell phone bill from Sprint, and another expense beside your broadband connection.

    Had it on my TXN 15 and now my 25. Works great, no complaints. Wish Vista worked as good on the TXN's.

    How did you like the Cingular speed? Was it good enough or was it worth a money?

    Cingular speed is VERY good and the coverage is excellent. It cannot be as fast as the EVDO though. I have not had the opportunity to test them side by side but the technologies are not comparable. The EVDO should be significantly faster. I just do not know how advanced Sprint's coverage is. I have not heard great things about that.

    Is Cingular service less cheaper than the Sprint's?
