I just left the local AT&T store with the last Sierra Wireless 875u AirCard they had in stock. I pre-installed the driver software from home this morning in anticipation, so I’ve got the card running on the Samsung Q1P already. Right now, I’m lunching at a T.G.I. Fridays that’s unfortunately not within the HSDPA coverage area. EDGE over lunch, it is. I’m not yet sold on this as a good solution for me personally, but I’ll have to spend some more time with the device before I decide to keep it or return it. It’s bigger than I expected and has a unique approach for power. Unlike some modem cards that require two USB ports for a power boost, this modem has a rechargable battery. That battery will get charged from the Q1P which could severely hit my total run-time capabilities. More to follow after I get home and do a quick video of the device. My chicken fingers just arrived… ;)
