the Cradlepoint MBR-1000 is not new, it has been around for several months, we have been using them on marketing street tours for awhile. The MBR-1100 is new, and much better, it automatically switches between 4G and 3G depending on availability, the MBR-1000 will automatically downgrade to 3G when 4G is not available but will NOT automatically upgrade to 4g if it becomes available again. (you have to do a hard reset.)
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.
