Anyway, can’t wait to try the service and review it on my site. Unfortunately, I’m south of LA and don’t get service. They really need backwards compatibility to 3G to make it truly useful.

kind of feel a bit ripped off seeing i would have been better off waiting than preordering.

Or is it just me that Never uses my Data Plan while there is a WiFi network avail. I’m sure I missed something here. Sorry i’m sure i’ll get flamed but this makes no sense to me.

There is no deadline date.”

How so? It seems more like a rewards and referral program to me, similar to dropbox or a frequent flier miles.

Moreover, its 4G! People can do anything to earn those extra bytes of data to experience blazing fast data transfer.
Good to know 4G has been deployed, hoping to release it in other parts of the globe soon so that people in rest of the globe doesn’t have to wait for their YouTube video to buffer and play. Just tap and play because it 4G.
I would like to raise one question though, will be soon be made available for mobile users I mean other than the dongle and separate modem service, will it be available to use as mobile internet, through the service provider?
