AT&T intros USBConnect Quicksilver
AT&T released a new flavor of USBConnect dongle today along with the claim that it’s the “world’s smallest” device of its kind. We’re not exactly sure if business users are going to factor this claim in when choosing a carrier or device, but we supposed they had to talk about something. The USBConnect Quicksilver is AT&T’s latest LaptopConnect device and is fully compatible with the carrier’s nationwide HSPA network. Of course you can also fork up some extra cash and roam on 3G and EDGE networks in over 150 countries around the world. The Quicksilver can be used on both PC and Mac (OS 10.4+) and it’s free with a LaptopConnect plan of $60 or more.
The options quicksilver has been available for about a week now and would be perfect if it had a memory slot likes the mercury.
It does. Right below the sim card.
@ TD – are you sure about that? The specs don’t list a memory card slot.
well, that’s weird sim mine doesn’t have that and i just got it yesterday. Has a place for the SIM and that’s it. I know the mercury i had the week prior did.
the original spec did list it but it looks like they took it out.
Ok, ATT says that another product the OPTIONS icon 401 does have that but not the AT&T version.
I just got a Quicksilver and it seems to be slower than my previous Sierra pcmcia, is it slow for you guys too?
I also found out it does not work with a mobile router, I have to return it and get a Mercury. I’d appreciate any suggestion. Thanks.
Which is better Mercury or Quick silver?
