Verizon launches Kyocera KPC680 EV-DO Rev. A ExpressCard

by Darren Murph posted Nov 20th 2007 at 7:15PM

Still waiting around to hop on the Rev. A highway? Although last week would've been a swell time to do so, now's not too bad either, and Verizon Wireless customers have yet another option at their fingertips. The Kyocera KPC680 ExpressCard is available now for anyone interested, and enables BroadbandAccess users to reach average download speeds of 600kbps to 1.4Mbps and upload speeds that range from 500kbps to 800kbps when situated in a Rev. A area. Additionally, this thing sports a "breakthrough" (ahem) antenna design that "moves the antenna away from the device as it is opened, providing greater sensitivity, dual external antenna ports for signal flexibility and a compact form factor." Get yours now for just $49.99 after a mail-in rebate and throwing your John Hancock on a two-year agreement.

The ironic part is, she allegedly writes a cell phone blog and didn't include her area code. o_o

Awesome, but the Novatel USB 727 is a lot cooler.. on board memory (doubles as a memory card) and is smaller and works via USB. Performance roughly the same.

In the end, no matter what you use, EvDO Rev A rocks! With the abandonment of WiMax (Sprint's annoucement is just the first brick to fall), I'm hoping that the carriers wake up and move us to Rev B (cheap for them to do) to tide us over to 2011 when they move to Rev C (UMB - more expensive to do)!
