I got this phone last April....it was an upgrade, but I still paid around a $100. for it. It is and upgrade for being in your system for 2 years....I was offered another phone...which I didn't like, so I opted for this good looking phone even if I have to pay for it.
The phone is cute, etc. ....my only concern with it is that it has a dark background.....is there a way to make the background lighter?
Thanks.....

- May 28, 2008
When I bought this I thought I was going to be getting connections like at the Sprint Store... Not. I lived in the farm country of Illinois near a major Air Force Base. First, the radar effects reception & lack of cell towers. When I got this I was told there would be twoers going up in that area within the next 6 months (it's been almost two years), but they haven't been placed. By chance i moved to be closer to work, now I'm half a mile from a tower with no problems. When is this major change going to take place in the network that will get reception ANYWHERE in the states? I like Sprint and brag all the time, but I really like the iPhone. Now the new plan - $99.00 "Simply all of it!" sounds great, but we need coverage to back it! I want to be able to take my laptop with me on a trip & get reception anywhere, that's all.

I highly recommend this card. Connects fine and I drive a semi-truck. I am constantly moving, and it does try to stay connected to the evdo network, but does have to switch to 1x rrt (slow). But it's great to have truly unlimited internet wherever I go. I just took over a plan from a friend she got for $40/mo. I was paying $60/mo for the exact same thing. So if you can get on with someone or take over an acct from someone with a lower plan, go for it! Pay less for the same service.

I have always got good technical support from Sprint when there were problems. It isn't the fastest connection in the world, but pretty reliable. On a trip to Chicago, I was able to stay connected to the Internet as long as the battery lasted. I download frequently and never have to look for someone else's wireless connection when out and about.

Still have not got our rebate after 6 months even after sending requested info 5 times. Slow and poor connection - compared to dial-up at $61.00 per month.

I travel for a living so I needed internet access on the go. I've been with Sprint for cell phone usage since 1998 so I figured I'd stay with them for my broadband needs. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!!!! A friend sent me a link to a site that tests the speed of your connection and everytime, no matter where I am, it's just a step above dial-up. I'm currently documenting the speeds so that I can get out of my 2 year contract. If you want high speed connectivity go with the other guys that start with a V.

and use my aircard 100% of the time at home. I know the Pantech is slower, but certainly not noticeable enough to pay for both. I can use it everywhere I go in KC and out of town. I agree with one other reviewer who stated the software doesn't work quite right. I'm prompted to download a software update every time I power on, but I just "X" out of it and go on. Not that big of a deal.

This card, although kind of bulky and expensive monthly, has given me such options! I can now communicate with the world no matter where I am, especially in the airport where one has to pay a minimum of $9.95 just to access invisible wireless waves! We have a satellite dish in our home, and therefore no router. We live in a suburb with several acres of land in between homes, and I cannot pick up a signal. This broadband card allows me to access the internet on my laptop from anywhere in my home,without all the wires and telephone cords. I dont plan to be without this wireless device (or its equivolent and better) ever again in life!!!

I had to have this card for my home wireless network. It doesn't fit into my computer, so it goes straight into the router. With the router I have extra security and can run 2 computers off this one card. I have had a problem with the internet not actually connecting and will have to cut off the card and router and then cut it back on. It works fine then. This happens about once every two weeks or so. Overall, I am pleased with this card.

Just one issue. The firmware update doesn't work and it gets annoying. But other than that, the reception is perfect, lost service only once or twice. Nice and reliable

PX-500 has given me dsl in a dsl-less rural area!
- April 5, 2008
If like me you live in a rural area that has no available DSL, Cable or similar wired Broadband service then Sprint Broadband and this card are your solution. I have had this card now for over a year and am no longer cursed to a 24K dial up existence, I know have this card/Sprint service and use it in a unique fashion- it anchors my desktop and is my wifi portal for my home network. Here is how you can use it. Sprint offers a Linksys wifi router (I use the Kyocera KR1 router found elsewhere that cost less and was rated higher but they are both very similar in features/application) they have a cardbus port, or PCMIA slot just like the port on your laptop, this card plugs in there. Now you have effectively done the same as plugging in a router into the wall for your DSL wired service, only the connection for your computer and network is via Cellular signal. The routers have a standard ethernet port that plugs into my computer, or computers you want to connect via ethernet cable OR you can connect your devices via wireless signal from the wifi router. In my case I have 1 desktop connected, one print server and my direcTV dvr connected by hard wire to the port, then I have my laptop, another desktop, and my Media Center PC connected via wifi, with a laptop wifi card, and wireless PCI adapters. Everything goes thru the Pantech connection to the SprintNetwork. I get EVDO rev A service in the hinterlands of NW Washington state, on the edge of the Olympic National Park Wilderness. My download speeds are about 700kbs to 1.2mbs with uploads usually only in the 50-120kbs range. To the earlier user who was going to Verizon for their BB card, big mistake. I came to Sprint after trying the Verizon card, they show a broader network, but unlike Sprint, they only put the High Speed EVDO network in populated areas and leave the barely-better-than-dialup National Network access for the outlying areas. No good for me. Sprint is way better, their network pumps out the high-speed connection from their toes to their fingertips. I also added a great little booster antenna for about 50 bucks that uses a suction cup to place in the window and it improves my signal quality greatly, if you will use your card in a static location, this gives a better signal, and therefore better speeds. If you have questions or need more information on setting up this solution, email me at mbednarz@olypen.com and I can provide any help or insight that I am able to.

The PX-500 by Pantech Wireless Card the anywhere c
- March 15, 2008
This broadband card it one of my most vital assets. I have traveled extensively throughout the United States, through some of the most remote areas of the country. While there have been times naturally where I could not receive a tower signal, I am never far from a location where I can receive the signal. In one particular place in Wyoming in the Big Horn Mountains I could not receive a signal while down in a canyon I could get nothing (understandably), I was able to drive up near the top of a mountain and receive a signal from a tower that was at least fifty miles away. All that is need is at least one bar to go online. When used in conjunction with the Linksys broadband router, I can stay efficiently connected with all of my computers at home. At my home with full six bar reception I can achieve 2.3 mbps download and 235 kbps upload even with multiple computers online. When traveling I rarely need to use the motel internet access which is much better security wise. This is due to being on a closed network. (Meaning the guy in the motel room next to you cannot hack into your network. In addition since you only pay one price you get unlimited minutes whether you are in a Sprint or roaming areas. Though the ratings only go up to 10, I would rate the PX-500 by Pantech Wireless broadband card a 100 for near total independence.

I took this card and my laptop on a cruise to St Thomas, Puerto Rico, and other locations and it worked like a charm. Even when my Nextel phone had NO service (the entire vacation), my wife and I could still email and send pictures home instantly. Hate to be away and unreachable by the kids.
Got the card free, and with corporate discounts my charges are about $55/month.
