you gotta pay after 1GB so I won't be using this for heavy data usage

This should let your iPhone use WiMax even if you are on the T-Mobile network! Since iPhone users on Tmobile are stuck with EVDO speeds, this could be a great alternative. Then you can just get T-mobiles $10/month 200MB plan and use WiMax for most of your data. I do want to know what happens after 1GB though...what are the rates?

1 GB for free.
A hot spot for free.

For the hot spot feature it is usually an extra charge per month from the carriers.

Also ... if you hit your voice minutes cap, you could use a VOIP app on your cell phone with this device ... again, for free.

I think Verizon wants another $30 per month to add your phone as a hot spot.

This device could pay itself off in 4 months.

If you are in an area with good WiMax coverage ... this is really attractive and has lots of potential.

I am not sure if it will drive down data costs, but carriers may rethink charging for the hot spot feature. Not anytime soon though I think.

cool idea for the sprint iphone. a bit pricey but overall an awesome idea. the 1gb kind of sucks, and what happens after that? 10/mb?

So does the case not come with a top to the case like Mophie? I dont want my phone to slip out. Plus, im not paying for extra internet on top of what i already pay, sorry, this case isnt that great
