Has anyone got or tried this?
It was being flogged in the Melbourne QC yesterday (yes, this was *before* the flight!)
It looks pretty nifty, to this dedicated early adopter. For $399 you get a small mobile modem which slots into a port on your laptop. Signing up before Christmas gives you three months free access, after which monthly plans range from $29.95 up.
I love the idea of mobile broadband without having to find a wireless zone!
Gave my card to the guy on the display so he could send me a brochure setting out the details, and by the time I had got my macchiato and found an armchair, some other guy in the head office was calling my mobile to pitch to me all over again. The product looks really attractive but this sort of selling technique smacks of desperation, and worries me.
Anyone succumbed yet?
