Posted on Oct 19, 07 10:36 AM PDT

Verizon Wireless will make available its UM150 USB modem in all Verizon Wireless Communications Stores as well as its online store from November 2nd onwards. This modem was specially designed to function with all computing devices equipped with a Type A USB port - that would include the majority of desktops, notebooks, and tablet PCs. This would allow access to BroadbandAccess from virtually anywhere courtesy of Verizon Wireless' national high-speed wireless broadband network. It is compatible with Windows XP and Vista, as well as Mac OS X platforms. You will be able to achieve theoretical average download speeds of 600Kbps to 1.4Mbps, while upload speeds maxes out at 800Kbps. Of course, real world performance is much lower than those figures so don't set your expectations too high. The UM150 USB modem will retail for $79.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and new two-year agreement. For those who want to subscribe to BroadbandAccess service for Internet browsing, e-mail and intranet access, it'll set them back by another $59.99 monthly. [Press Release]
