MiFi…finally.
Back in May when the Mifi was announced, I immediately called Verizon to see how I could get my hands on one. I was told I’d have to pay full price—roughly $500—and as insane as it is I momentarily considered it. My next question was when I’d be available for an upgrade, and they told me sometime around October.
I started counting the days.
Today, I finally got one. The verdict: IT IS AWESOME
Gone is the unreliable, awkward, and just plain crappy USB stick I’ve been using for the last 12 months, replaced with a device the size of 5 credit cards stacked on top of each other that allows me to connect 5 devices to the Internet at the same time via wifi.
I picked it up at around 4pm today and am so happy with it that it’s now 2:56am and I felt compelled to post this brief note to share my satisfaction before I hit the sack.
Off to bed now. I will use it for a few days and get back with my full review of the device, with pros and cons. It will probably be pretty long, because the Novatel Mifi 2200 represents a huge leap forward in the world of portable Internet technology. This device is nothing short of revolutionary.
Stay tuned.
