wOOt - Wireless broadband

Yep, sitting here typing this on my laptop using my Kyocera Wireless 1xEV-DO PCMCIA card on the Verizon network. Awsome. Couple of tests from my house with almost no signal strength is about 600Kbps. Not the greatest, but far better than dial up or regular 1x speeds.

I don't see it on their web site. Is it any better than the ones they've been selling? (Audiovox & Sierra) BTW I'm signing up for service this week too. I can't wait.
