Verizon’s new data plan - 5GB for $59.99, 50 cents/MB after
In another round of Verizon Loves/Hates consumers, we have the new AirCard/Smartphone data plans that are being announced on March 2nd in the spotlight. With Verizon having announced their unlimited calling plans and also details about their new “Open Network” to be set loose later this year, they looked like they were becoming more user-friendly. Well, that’s changed with this most recent event.
Sierra Wireless announce the Compass 885 USB, AirCard 885e ExpressCard
Sierra Wireless has unveiled the Compass 885 USB and AirCard 885e ExpressCard at Mobile World Congress. Both the 885 and 885e offer a compact design and will work with either Windows or OS X. They both also have support for tri-band HSPA/UMTS and quad-band EDGE/GPRS/GSM connections and offer data speeds up to 7.2 Mbps down and up to 2.0 Mbps up.
The Compass 885 USB modem comes with a clip to attach it to your laptop while in use and also has a microSD card slot. The AirCard 885e was designed to be durable with no moving part, even the antenna is internal. Both modems will be available during mid-2008.

Other notable releases include the Sierra Wireless AirCard 597E on February 17 for $329 and the Alcatel-Lucent AL3500 for $499.99 is expected in March.
The pricing listed seems to be on the high side, which would indicate these are retail prices and you should expect much lower prices when signing an agreement.
