For those of you who watched my un-boxing of the MIFI 2200 courtesy of Virgin Mobile, have been wondering my thoughts on this device. Originally my overall thought of a MIFI type device was why do I need this when I have a phone that can tether? Well I’m going to tell you. Since I am an Apple iPhone 4 owner, and have been grandfathered into keeping my unlimited data plan, I found it to be a tough decision to give that up to tether to get internet access over a limited 3G area where I live. That’s where the option of the MIFI really plays a good role. Since Virgin Mobile offers a “Pay as you go” package it makes it a bit easier to justify getting the device without being locked into a contract. The initial cost of the device is $149 US and is no bigger than a credit card and about a quarter of an inch thick. The battery life is consistent with the claim of 4 hours. After testing this device using GPS I was surprised at how little the data usage which is great news! on a 3 hour round trip I only used 20 MBS after checking when I arrived home. Since this MIFI unit can charge while being plugged into a USB car charger adapter or a wall outlet it makes it even better of a choice over the competitions MIFI. I take the MIFI everywhere I go to get a “quick hit” on email or if I need to surf the web quickly on my iPhone. Since this runs on the Sprint network, I’ve tested this device in rural areas and farm land. Places AT&T 3G is …well … non-existant. In fact my wife’s grandmother, who up until now had been on dialup, has switched to this as her main source of internet because the speeds are faster.

I received another interesting email from my friend Patrick and rather than re-type what he wrote, I thought I would just copy and paste it as a hope that maybe someone has an idea how to fix this problem. If you know how to fix this, please shoot me an email or leave a comment and I’ll get in touch with him, Thanks
I thought I’d keep you informed about the issues I’m having with my 3Gs. At the moment, it’s not currently working.

Today a friend of mine sent me a picture of his iPhone screen.My friend, Patrick Hays emailed me and said, “Hey man, thought you would find this interesting. It just happened on
my iPhone. I am able to use it, but it still gives me this error.” So of course, since I have it I decided to give it a whirl. This is the same thing that I got:What are we doing to fix this Skype? Apple? Any of you experience anything like this? So far Ustream.tv still has yet to update their app to get FME working with it for my stream and others. Leave comments and other apps you have had the same experience with, I’m interested in knowing! Until Next time, Keep it buzzin’
