For the last year, I’ve had an EVDO wireless card on Sprint (Sierra Wireless AirCard 580). I use it occasionally when I travel (I don’t travel all that much) and it comes in handy. When I was in San Francisco for MacWorld, the hotel’s WiFi had such poor speed, I shared my connection with a co-worker. I haven’t used 1xRTT in such a long time, I forgot how slow it was. When we got to Kona in Hawaii, I pulled out the card to use it to get some info on stuff to do. Turns out, all we get is 1xRTT which almost seems painfully slow. I’ve definitely been spoiled by the high speed of EVDO (1xEVDO to be specific, faster EVDO is coming). When I get my MacBook Pro, hopefully a USB or ExpressCard EVDO modem will be available as I don’t know what I’d do without it.
