The Compass 597 is the smallest USB modem in Sierra Wireless’s product line, It comes with a connector for an optional external antenna to help maximize modem performance.

I got one of these a couple of weeks ago to replace my AirCard 595 and I can vouch for the fact that it’s small and powerful. I highly recommend it. Moreover, if you don’t want to extend your contract, you can pick one up on eBay for about $130 or so. If you have an account on Sprint, it’s a no-brainer!

the compass 597 really rocks! we do a size comparison of compass 597 vs. usb727 (and others) in our video review of the compass 597 at http://www.EVDOinfo.com/compass

as you know, most everyone will get a Compass 597 so they can provide internet access to a single computer (like laptops in the geek.com review)…

but some folks need to share their EVDO with more than one computer, (or perhaps share with their iPhone or iPod Touch, via WiFi)

if that sounds like something you would be interested in, then check out EVDO routers like those from http://www.EVDOinfo.com/cradlepoint
