I beg to differ with one point of the review. Today (10-14-09) I spent over an hour on the phone with 3 Verizon techs to get a MiFi 2200 to work with a Lenovo 3000 N100 (built-in Broadcom 802.11g adapter). The latest VZ Manager version 7.0.10.1 is NOT Windows 7 compatible, according to Verizon, and no release date of the software is known. The MiFi2200 DOES work if it is connected to the USB port, but cannot connect wirelessly (including with no firewall running). BTW, I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate just installed during a Microsoft Loadfest event. This is the final retail version, not RC. C'mon Verizon, get on it.
