KR1For those laptop and ultra-portable PC owners who are currently using or thinking about using EV-DO, the Kyocera KR-1 EV-DO router is a suitable solution that will keep you connected to the Internet even away from hotspots.


The price of outfitting your KR-1, along with the appropriate wireless card for your machine and the carrier you selected, usually runs somewhere above $300. You insert the wireless card into the back of the KR-1 and it becomes an instant WiFi Hotspot and router for your LAN. For the entire month of September Kyocera will be selling the KR-1 EV-DO router with a $50 mail in rebate.

This little price reduction makes justifying the purchase of EV-DO service and equipment a little easier. Plus, you can add the $50 you saved on the cost of the router on the monthly service fees you'll be charged for the service. As a current EV-DO subscriber, and KR-1 user I can attest to the convenience it provides when traveling.

If you are a student or currently in a job that requires you to bring a computer with you into the field, a solution like the KR-1 provides unrivaled freedom, and the $50 rebate only sweetens the pot!

 » KR1 is the best!

I recently just bought one of these routers and it works great. My friends and I hooked up our laptops outside of the mall when we were waiting for the mid-night release of Madden 07 and played WOW. It passed the time quickly. You don't have to pay 300 bucks for one of these (I paid 300 bucks), my friend just got one off EBay for $230 with a $30 paypal rebate, plus he got the $50 mail-in-rebate! I would get one this month, before the rebate expires.
