why bother with this? just get Sprint Sero plan for $30/month, and you get free internet for your laptop too. Yes it's EVDO.

The "unlimited" plan is not "unlimited" either. They have an invisible 5GG/month cap that will cause you to get terminated.

Hmm I don't find this to be true, I have used 7-10GB several months and have had no issues or charges for it. I have had my account now for 2 years.

which means now you'll hit your 40BM monthly cap in half the time! of course there's an "unlimited*" usage plan as well, but why even bother with 40MB/month in the 1st place? most ppl will use that in half a business week

Huh? You can use upwards of 5 gigabytes, not 40MB.
