"Hey guys, I work for earthlink wireless, our main product is the 7250, and yes they are set up for EVDO. We (the wireless carriers) just need to flip a switch so to say to turn on the EVDO ability on. The 8700 will be coming out for sale shortly however we do not have a set date! I will keep everyone informed as I find things out! If you have questions please feel free to ask me," 
I have the 7250 with earthlink so I hope it is true! |
I contacted Earthlink Wireless tech support hoping to get the CSR to confirm at least tentative plans to activate EVDO and/or tethering capabilities in the Earthink 7250. Alas, he stated that Level II and III personnel he talked with during our phonecon did not have any or know of any information that would suggest any plans in the future to do so. I just hope he and those he talked to were simply clueless at the moment. I will pay the $175 termination fee to jump to Verizon wireless so I can get EVDO and tethering, that is, if Earthlink doesn't keep up with the competition. It would be strange for them not to keep competitive with the same product and network as Verizon.
