Sprint Overdrive 3G / 4G router becomes official
Sprint is really pushing things with their new 4G networks which is now available in over 23 cities around the US (sadly no Florida cities yet). That said, Sprint made the new Overdrive 3G /4G (WiMAX) router official yesterday. The device is small (can easily fit in the palm of your hand), and it will allow up to five computers to connect to either a 3G or 4G connection simultaneously.
The great thing about this device is there are no wires involved so when you do pick up a Slate or Tablet PC of your choice, you’ll be able to have this bad boy in your pocket while you do your business on your computer that is connected wirelessly.
Price is set at $99 after a $50 mail in rebate on a two-year contract. Service plans start at $59 and this includes that dreaded cap of only 5GB of 3G usage per month, but you do get unlimited 4G (WiMAX) usage in cities where the service is live. If you’re wondering, 4G speeds are estimated by Sprint to be up to 7.2Mbps. This one will be available at Sprint and Best Buy stores come January 10th.
