here is an idea if your gonna review something try not to repeat the same shit over and over for 20 mins.... what i wanna know is this good for gaming? i wanna get out of dsl i hear this is better than dsl but alot of mixed reviews??

@karwanGoTSwaGG86 definitely better speeds than DSL when you have Verizon Wireless 4G LTE. I am getting nearly 18 Mbps on average in Pennsylvania. When I went to Las Vegas for CES last year I was getting nearly 21 Mbps. I have only seen it go down as low as 9Mbps and that still trumps average DSL. Verizon Fios is still the best, not the Dsl service. But the problem with Verizon Wireless data is that it is not unlimited except for those who have had it before data when to tiered mode.

@karwanGoTSwaGG86 thats another thing the unlimited data bullshit for 50 dollars and they still dont give you unlimited data wtf? i do live in a 4g lte area but i have seen alot of reviews where people say the signal drops alot and it becomes a pain in the ass to deal with you having these issues please let me know???

Why don't you read manual beforehand instead of guessing?

What a waste of time.

purple is 4g

[xXhottieonthepottyXx]

If you are in 4g the light is green. In 3g the light is pink/purple. This thing is such a pain in the butt if you don't have 4g in your area. It is very slow and it is ridiculous trying to watch videos. It has to buffer and load very often. It 'searches' for 4g several times a day (light blinks from green to purple and you lose connection during this). It turns off whenever it wants to. Battery barely lasts 3 hours. I hate this thing with a passion. Anyone know how to turn off searching for 4g?

do you have to pay it monthly to get internet ? i'd like to know ...

umm umm umm umm!

@Ayanna716 that means your connected to 3g green means 4g it probably means that your area isnt covered for 4g

i live up in the hollywood hills so would the hotspot still work or how does it operate. I sit like a mobile phone where it depends on location an connecticitty or it will have full connection wherever.

Very good review No GPS on the Samsung. The display on the Novatel is e-ink, so the display's power draw is minimal. Both are good performers, but LTE is so fast the data cap is too restrictive.
