EV-DO Rev. A provides cell data speeds yet, no card slot required, reliable connections, very good Windows connection utility, works on OS X Macs, external antenna port, built-in GPS receiver for future use.
Dislikes
Rev. A coverage area still ramping up, upload speeds disappointing, Mac support not official yet, bulky Y cable needed for maximum performance.
Good for
Ultraportable and MacBook owners without PC Card slots, who want the fastest broadband cell data service available.
Bad for
Slot-equipped laptop users will find a Rev. A cell data card to be the more convenient way to go. PC Cards are available now, and ExpressCards will be coming soon.
