Review on Verizon Jetpack 4620L Wireless Hotspot by Bill Howard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quirky at best. You can make it work, but it has some quirks.

The battery was practically useless from day one. He never gave me more than 10 minutes without a charger. And eats up a lot of energy. I'm building my own power supply using a small car battery and some voltage regulation circuits. But your standard mobile phone charger will have problems. Add to this the fact that the "On" button. "Off" lies to you and it can be annoying. If you tell it to turn it off, it takes about 3 minutes for it to get into a state where it will respond to your attempts to turn it back on. Then it will , no matter how long you wait, it instantly goes from shutdown to boot time for ero. The best I can say is that when you turn it off, it actually restarts and then goes to sleep. Oh, but if you get frustrated and hold down the button while trying to turn it on, it turns on and then immediately turns off again.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
