Can the device take a wall wart, or will it only run on batteries?
Maybe get power from USB?<br>

<p>I am a subscriber however I don't use it as my daily Internet
pipe. So I can't really speak to how reliable it is in that
regard. I does drop carrier from time to time however it
usually comes right back within a second or two with no
connection artifacts. I've even watched streaming video and had
it briefly drop and reconnect w/o having to rebuffer. I'm not
sure I'd trust it for gaming though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also turn it on during the local historical computing club
meetings and multiple people are able to access the Internet
concurrently. It's a battery powered device with 4-6 hours of
life on a full charge depending on signal strength.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I do travel a lot and it's absolutely fabulous in that respect.
I've come to rely on having a very fast and available hot spot
for both my laptop and iPhone in most any major city. No more
worries about hotel or airport WiFi or finding a McDonalds or
Starbucks</p>
