Runs hot. Battery power drops quickly with multiple devices. Tied to Verizon Wireless EV-DO service only.
No way to gauge signal strength on device itself.
Broadband network not very broad in rural areas
3G network speeds can vary widely. Initial tethered setup is a bit unclear. Can't charge battery and transmit WiFi simultaneously.

As fast as cheap DSL
Turns on accidentally
Requires expensive service plan.
