WOW...THIS THING IS AWESOME! Tuesday, 17 June 2008 Expand
This is just about the coolest device in the world. I just got my Compass 597, installed it flawlessly, and it works fantastic. It could not have been easier to setup, or connect with. Great job Sprint and Sierra Wireless.

Written by: Bill 1 of 1 people found this review useful I started shopping for a laptop card on the Sprint website, but the 597 caught me eye. I came to the conclusion after reading about its features that a USB modem would better meet my needs than a card. I ordered it from the website on a Tuesday and it amazingly arrived the next day via UPS!! It took about 10 minutes to install the software and boom, I was up and running. Performance is best when in an area of higher signal, but it still performs acceptably in low signal areas (one bar). I especially enjoy the extender cable that comes with it since my laptop's power cord plugs in right next to the USB ports. The cord also allows me to position the modem to get a better signal if need be.

Written by: Cowboy 1 of 1 people found this review useful User Rating 9.2 Out of 10 The Compass 597 was a snap to get up and running quick, and there's no CDs or downloads - just plug er in and the device pretty much installs itself into Vista. As for performance, I was very surprised in a good way. Speed is about as fast as DSL - not lightning quick but definitely acceptable for web browsing and email. I had no problems with connections at all places that my Sprint phone traditionally works well. For the price, you can't go wrong. However the service plans leave a bit to be desired (either very limited or unlimited which is expensive, around $50 /month). For me, this is not fast enough to use as my all-around internet connection so $50 a month seems a bit high but I'm sure it'll save me at some point when Comcast goes down!
