Functional when you do the correct dance .
3
Posted by: from Houston TX on 01/24/2013This works fine when you do the dance to reset your computer to recognize it each time. Not as easy as my previous USB aircard. But then this is a HOT SPOT an that is nice. Battrery dies at inopportune moments keep it plugged in if possible to avoid issues.

Horrible
1
Posted by: from Raleigh, NC on 12/07/2012I wish I could get out of my newly 2-year contract. The device says I have good signal, yet, it stalls. I have had this device for 2 months and can count on one hand how many times I turned it on. I'm considering paying the termination fee and cut my loses.

Great hook-up to internet

Posted by: from antioch, il on 10/27/2012I enjoy this service instead of having to have home internet with phone. So far, taxes aren/t bad. Great service at Best Buy with employees. All were very helpful, very nice. I enjoy shopping there. Next purchase a TV. Like the rewards.

Gets horrible reception
1
Posted by: from Torrance, CA on 09/26/2012The device get's horrible reception in my house and that is where it's main use is. I'm wondering if it's Sprint or the device itself. I am usually very frustrated with the device and forget downloading you tube video's as it takes about 5 minutes to download a 1 minute video. Overall not satisfied with the device or service. I was also not told that there would be a $35 activation fee with Sprint after being charged $50 from Best Buy! Not a happy customer!

Not bad

Posted by: from Wisconsin on 08/03/2012I like this so much more than the USB data card. No special software and I love that it's rechargeable so it doesn't need to be plugged in all the time.

Try someone else beside Sprint
1
Posted by: from Foothills, CA on 07/18/2012This is Sprint's replacement of the OverDrive Pro. (another poorly engineered and marketed product). So far, after a month's use, it has shutoff about 45 times with NO warning. The connection speed is slower than the OverDrive Pro - BUT it doesn't overheat like the OD P. The "landing page" is convoluted and confusing, and when I tried to use Sprint's web site to get Tech help, they responded with a suggestion of contacting them to get Tech support. Everything about my 6 month journey with Best Buy and Sprint has been disappointing. The good news is They got me for another 18 months of the Sprint contract. Warning: do your research. Do NOT rely on the recommendation of a sales person.
