Review Summary If you're looking for a fast, reliable, portable cellular modem, the Sierra Wireless 598U delivers and even offers GPS. The Verizon Wireless USB760 modem offers great connection speeds and coverage, and it doubles as a storage device. However, its rigid, nonswivel design makes it difficult to use in tight situations. If you can afford the service plan and stay within the required data limits, the Sprint Novatel Wireless MiFi 2200 mobile router is a great way to access the Internet on the go. The T-Mobile WebConnect USB Laptop Stick works just fine as a cellular modem, but the service plan is priced too high.
