Editors' Choice: Verizon Wireless EV-DO

Of the three 3G cellular networks available today, Verizon Wireless EV-DO is the only one that truly realizes the promise of widely available, high-speed wireless. With a good signal, EV-DO feels like real broadband. We tested it with the Sierra Wireless AirCard 580, also an Editors' Choice. EV-DO is available in 32 cities and many of those cities' suburbs, with a lot more locations to come in 2005. Sure, it's expensive, and we wish Verizon offered EV-DO phones that truly connected to the Internet, in addition to fully functional PDAs, PC Cards, and Internet-restricted phones. But road warriors who regularly shell out for hotel and hot spot Internet connections will see the value. And EV-DO passed our ultimate test: None of the editors we loaned a PC Card to wanted to give it back. That means Verizon Wireless EV-DO truly is an Editors' Choice.
