Hands on with T-Mobile's 21 Mbps webConnect Rocket USB Laptop Stick

T-Mobile's webConnect Rocket USB Laptop Stick is aptly named because it's a mobile broadband missile. On the outside, it offers a similar appearance to the current 3G webConnect USB adapter that T-Mobile sells -- a USB interface, software included on the device for plug-and-play installation, and a microSD memory card slot. It's what's on the inside that shoots you to the moon -- a 3.5G radio that maximizes bandwidth on T-Mobile's upcoming 21 Mbps network.

I got a chance to test this device on T-Mobile's 21 Mbps test network and it was blazing fast! Here I show off a speed test, podcast download and 720p YouTube stream over the 3.5G network. And I couldn't help myself by testing a Google Nexus One on the network while I had a chance = 4 Mbps downloads!

Nope. DOCSIS 3.0, but I also have a 54Mbps mobile broadband USB stick (prepaid - $5/month, plus 50 GB of data) - and 54Mbps wireless, which comes for free with my 150Mbps DL/100Mbps UL cable package. ^_^
