Have been using the old WiMax device a lot. Awesome service and perfect when you'e regularly visit the US , but coverage was often an issue. Great to see they made the switch to LTE.

I can do all of this with my iPhone and my notebook. In fact it's even easier with iOS 8 and Yosemite. Why would I want to drag this extra device and charger with me when I travel?
@joshkerr Yeah, really depends on what exactly your plan is. If you have grandfathered unlimited data + free tethering, your phone is a better deal. The one big advantage of Karma in that case is battery life: when I tether my phone, the battery is dead in an hour or two.
@nickmke Yeah, if someone connects to your Karma (anyone, not just a brand new user), you both get 100MB free. That's usually enough to send some emergency emails or whatever.

@futurepaul This could be good. I am in an office in the city where reception and Wifi is really spotty. I may chance this and encourage everyone to connect to me. :)
@futurepaul the coverage map on the site looks about the same to me. I tried asking on Twitter if LTE was coming from a new network or with new coverage, but no one answered.
@clarklab It's the Sprint LTE + 3G network, with vastly more coverage than the WiMAX network we had before. The map is new, too. You should see coverage in more areas, and better performance in all areas.
Very clean design. This definitely seems like a product that will just work the way people want it to. Remarkable that this wasnt the standard before now

Agreed. I was really excited about the original Karma and loved to concept but it rarely, if ever, had coverage which means you can't rely on it when traveling. Excited to see how much LTE improves the coverage.
