  1. Mine is coming tomorrow and I have no active hotspot lines yet.
  2. Heh. You're making me consider buying a second one. I don't want to ruin it for other people though.
  3. People said for the longest time that Verizon would never get the iPhone because they didn't use GSM, and here we are. But without the chipset support, yeah, there'll probably only be support for two out of the three bands.
  4. Does anyone know if Orange County's included in the LA market above? Considering driving up there and giving LTE2500 a shot when my MiFi comes in.
  5. All of your information has to match what the bank has on file exactly, I think. If it does, I'm not sure what's going on.
  6. That's great news if this one ends up working the same way.
  7. According to http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/novatel-wireless-mifi-500/4505-3319_7-35765542.html the MiFi 500 can also be used as a modem for a single computer via USB and as a GPS receiver. Very nice.
  8. Might try calling Sprint from another phone. If you have no other phone, you can use Google Talk's VoIP functionality in a pinch.
  9. SD has WiMax that isn't a protection site? Since when?
  10. No 2500 or 800 here (San Diego) and mine got shipped.
  11. My guess is that Sprint's 100% subsidizing them and that we're going to end up with a new two year agreement by activating.
  12. Nice. I have the HTC One but it's not triband (also in my experience on other phones it burns through the battery quickly when used as a hotspot).
  13. Cool. I've been looking at the Sprint hotspot plans and I may just activate mine, even if it means a two year agreement. Cheaper than what Verizon charges every time I want to use my VZN hotspot, anyway.
  14. Did you just get the shipped email? I did.
  15. Heh, I checked my order status and it got past verification. Nice.
  16. Ah, it'll probably be cancelled tomorrow then since their office is probably closed now. Every place I've ever ordered from gave me the option to cancel the order if the price (excluding shipping) changed. Failing that, there's always sending it back for a refund.
  17. Change carrier, choose "replacement device" and then change phone to the MiFi 500. I was able to put in an order for the free MiFi just now. (Whether it'll get cancelled though is another question.)
  18. Interesting. If I were to order one of those free MiFis from that link, would I be able to activate without having to sign up for a new two year agreement?
  19. Which is unfortunate. It's partly why I have a prepaid Verizon MiFi--because I don't use it often enough to justify paying monthly for 2+ years, but I do need it occasionally on trips and such. The new Sprint unlimited plans might make an extra $10 for hotspot access on my phone doable though.
  20. Nice. Ping seems pretty high for LTE though. Is that because of the weak signal?
  21. Is this Sprint's? Looks like a portable tower on the roof of the Hilton parking structure next to the Convention Center. Sorry for the horrible picture quality.
  22. Data didn't work at all at the convention center today. Didn't really expect it to, though. I also tried a Verizon MiFi, with the same results.
