Consumers are picking Mi-Fi as their main choice for broadband pocket device. Is there any special about this Novatel’s latest gadget? Read more..

If we are talking about the best broadband provider, who would you pick? Is it Verizon or maybe AT&T. What about Sprint? Curios huh?. Here is the thing you should knowabout this growing bigger network company. Travelers who need instant access have more options than ever these days but choices are aren’t always satisfactory. Sometimes, a Wi-Fi hostpot is not coming into handy. A mobilebroadband with USB connectivity modem from a major carrier typically requires installing specific program which can be a pain. Also, some gadgets lack USB ports.

Novatel’s wireless Mi-Fi 2200 carries the convenience of Wi-Fi to the ubiquity of mobile braodband, side-stepping all of those issues. It needs no special software to run the wireless

connection,meaning, you can connect to it just as you would to any Wi-Fi hospots and then lets you share an account with family and friends.

Small and thin. Sleek design. That is the key of this slimmest pocket USB modem from Novatel. It is just about the size of three stacked credit cards. The Mi-Fi is a compact Wi

rou

ter that derives its Internet access from a single mobile broadband account, instead of DSL or old lame cable. Just simoly turn it on within the range of 3G connectivity signal,

and it automatically creates a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to five people at a time. But even if you’re flying solo on a plane, its ease of use and support for all Wi-Fi devices make it truly

tempting. This is certainly one of my top gadget list of the year!

Mi-Fi does run on its own power source, giving you one more gizmo to recharge at night. At fully charged, it capables of lasting for   about 4 hours,effectively, as advertised. Also,

Novatel states that this modem will ran a lot faster when multiple devices are using it for broadband access.

Sprint Network charges $60 per month for up to 5GB bandwith usage, but doesn’t offer any cheaper option than that, which make  MiFi more suitable for internet addicts than occasional traveling dudes. Verizon also now using MiFi for their broadband subscribers.

    I love the blackberry as well, but the service is pretty expensive in today’s economy. I recently acquired a nextel blackberry 8350i from a friend of mine. I figured I would use it with a boost sim just like any other nextel…not happening. So I found a way around it! I get almost full blackberry just no BIS stuff (bb messenger, etc.), but I can run all apps and since this thing has built in wifi it works awesome…
