The USB dongle from Sierra that was announced last month is surprisingly sturdy contrary to the opinion of one CG reader. It was being demoed on the MacBook Air and it was really, really tiny. We now know it will be available with Sprint. Price and launch are still up in the air.
The Compass 597 works with all Cradlepoint routers… and is already shipping.

Yes, this is a great new addition to the Sprint line up. Basically just as slick as the U727 (an even larger capacity memory slot and auto-install) and $50 less than the Novatel product.

The Sierra Wireless Compass 597 will be available this April for $49.99 after a $50 rebate and a two year contract with Sprint.
