Should a carrier offer TRULY unlimited WiMax, I'm in like Flynn. I'm not holding my breath, though.]]>Jan 13th 2009 7:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/Jan 13th 2009 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/Jan 13th 2009 7:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/
They call it a pocket router. I am not up for hauling such an obvious kludge around with me, least of all in my pocket.

What is the usage scenario for a router with two hours of battery life? All of my portable devices last considerably longer. And no, a bigger battery wouldn't solve it, because the thing is f'ing huge already.]]>Jan 13th 2009 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/OTOH, others speculate it's because Nokia wanted to sell an open device without being locked to carrier and needing its subsidies.]]>Jan 14th 2009 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/Photos

The sale rep for clear hinted early spring to middle of spring.
He also hinted it might come with a in-car adapter. ]]>Jan 13th 2009 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/Jan 13th 2009 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/Jan 13th 2009 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/Jan 13th 2009 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/
The only negative outside of the slow upload speeds was the return process. You can't just drop the equipment back off at the store you got it from and get a refund. You have to call a number and explain why you are canceling (you have 1 week from purchase to get out of your contract). Then they ask you a bunch of annoying questions like "do you know somebody who would want to sign up for our service that you could give your hardware to?" Eventually they accept your cancelation request and email you UPS stickers to ship the hardware back. Kind of annoying.]]>Jan 13th 2009 8:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/Jan 14th 2009 4:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/http://www.three.co.uk/Mobile_Broadband/Huawei_D100_Router]]>Jan 13th 2009 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/

Saw these in the mall the other day actually, well maybe not this particular model or whatever, but a bunch of adapters and routers.]]>Jan 14th 2009 1:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/Jan 15th 2009 2:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/clearwire-to-produce-portable-wimax-wifi-router/Jan 15th 2009 3:41PM
