Sprint unleashes EV-DO Rev. A PC card…

Just off the wire: 

Sprint announced today the Novatel Wireless S720 Mobile Broadband Card is now available for use with their Power Vision network. The company claims the card is the first on the market to boast compatibility with the EV-DO Revision A mobile broadband specification and is designed for use with compatible laptops as well as upcoming wireless routers. However, Sierra Wireless also released a PC card today which also reportedly supports Rev. A.

While the Novatel S720 is fully compatible with Sprint’s existing mobile broadband network, mobile users won’t enjoy the card’s full capabilities until Sprint completes their network-wide upgrade to the EV-DO Rev. A spec; The technology’s alleged “DSL-like” speeds should be available to over 40 million users by year end. “With the introduction of the nation’s first EV-DO Revision A-capable device today we are ensuring that customers are able to take advantage of the nation’s most advanced mobile broadband network to do what they want, when they want and where they want,” said Danny Bowman, vice president of product marketing for Sprint.

Treo 700p still under test.

I can’t give too much info at this time. Stop emailing me! Give us a little more time to get a better idea of the 700p’s operation.

We can say one thing; If you aren’t a power user, i.e., you only have a few programs running on the unit and you are still making full use of the stock programs, there’s no stability issues. Overall performance is great!

But that’s not what we care about. We run all our tests with the power user in mind. Another words, 4gig SD card at capacity and the internal memory sitting with only about 3 to 4 meg free. And used all the time, from docs to wireless.

More later……

Treo 700p – On the chopping block.

Reviews will be out soon for the Treo 700p. Check out site for future updates, they will be posted here also. The Treo 700p seems to be a “little” more stable than the Treo 650. But, for power users, there are some strange clicks with the Treo 700p that you really have to get used to!

More later.
