    Could someone please delve into the pros and cons to mobile broadband services? Who gives a reliable service (Sprint, Verizon, Cingular), what type of connectivity should I expect (is there much downtime... connection issues?), and how is it compared to that of a wireless router (the speeds)? Any information would be appreciated...

    Thanks! :)

    I have Cingular cell service but I used Verizon for my EVDO Wireless cell card. Since 3G was introducer I ditched verizon and went to cingular for the cell card.
    I am very satisfied with the cingular service, I'm only a little disappointed that 3G isn't all over in my area yet, it is FAST where its active. Regular GPRS is acceptable as well
