Sierra Wireless GPRS Air card review

I had the oppurtunity recently to use a Sierra GPRS Air Card (model type 700). I was impressed how productive the card was and how it was feasible to work productively using one.

The s/w interface is very slick and displays a GUI similar to a mobile phone including the signal strength.

Once connected the speeds were comparable to dial up and updating Norton Antivirus via the GPRS connection was fairly prompt.

The hinged antennae turned out to be a nice feature as it ensured that the antennae was not in my way.
