Linksys has released a new revision of their Sprint EVDO router that does improve upon the first version. Full review is available online.
In addition to supporting every Sprint PCMCIA card that has ever been released, with the use of a PCMCIA to ExpressCard adapter, the router also supports the EX720 and 597E Expresscards and it now has USB ports to support devices like the U720, U727, AirCard 595U and Compass 597.
However... aside from an ability to display great details about your EVDO connection via admin, the support for additional devices is about all thats good with this new router. It still uses WiFi G instead of WiFi N and still only has four 10/100 ethernet ports, and still comes from a pair of companies who are slow to release bugfixes or firmware updates.
I can ONLY recommend the new Linksys to those customers with OLDER Sprint PCMCIA cards like the S620/PC5740 who are not ready to upgrade to newer devices and take advantage of superior cradlepoint routers.
Just stinkin out loud.
