REVIEW

The Novatel Wireless Ovation U720 for Sprint is an unwieldy black dongle that brings lightning-fast EV-DO Rev A connectivity to the widest possible range of Windows and Mac computers. While some people may prefer the convenience of a PC Card form factor, the U720's flexibility and performance warrant Editors' Choice status.
