Sprint Airave completeley revamped!

Impulsebuyer · 02:54 PM

just got my replacement airave this morning and it looks completeley different, seems as if they redesigned the unit and alittle tip they packed the gps external sensor in the top of the actual unit itself under a removable lid...

The first pic, the new unit is on the left,
The second pic its on the right, as you can see its larger and beefier ...
The leds are also alot more vivid and brighter ...

Does it have a model number or anything, or can you attach a pic (or do both)? My parents have an AirRave and I want to check and see if it's the new one or not. Thanks!

wow.. I'm wondering if this the new 3G one... What does the doc. Say?

Impulsebuyer · 12/01/2009, 08:55 AM

can post pics later after work, after the airave tech told me to do a default dnz on my old one the thing stopped working and they sent me this, which is the newer version bc I had to call tech again to find out the sensor was inside the airave itself which was even knew to the tech...

sku starts with spdsc if that helps

heres wishing on a broken dream

they should just take the damn GPS off

Joescan09 · 12/01/2009, 09:41 AM

I wish it is 3/4G that would be amazing.

mvpilot172 · 12/01/2009, 09:53 AM

3G would be great for those not able to get High-Speed Net or before I had a phone with wi-fi.

odingrey · 12/01/2009, 10:00 AM

I just got mine (without the new GPS) from sprint not even a month ago so it must be brand spankin' new.

They need the GPS to make sure you're using the device in the US... otherwise it'd be an awesome way to avoid international roaming charges

.

Some say it's needed for E-911, but I don't know about that. AFAIK, the GPS in the phone handles that. Though I suppose it's possible that Sprint uses the GPS data to route the call to the proper 911 call center.

slydog43 · 12/01/2009, 10:03 AM

I have 2 of the old NON-EVDO ones, does this one finally do EVDO. Sprint said they would beat out Verizon with first FemToCell that does EVDO.

Joescan09 · 12/01/2009, 10:14 AM

If this does do EV is there an chance of getting a updated model mine is almost 2 years old.

Finally Pre · 12/01/2009, 10:15 AM

I would hope and you should too that it does GPS. There have been 2 calls that I have gone on at the firehouse for EMS where the people calling for help could not talk on the phone but by GPS with E-911 we found the people in less then 3 mins. IT could save yours or someone at your home's life.

odingrey · 12/01/2009, 10:37 AM

I do have EVDO with my new rave

Dieter Bohn · 12/01/2009, 10:40 AM

yo yo kids - somebody with a new rave post some pics and / or email me? dieter@precentral.net . Would love to see evidence that the new 'rave does evdo!

Dieter Bohn · 12/01/2009, 10:46 AM

You know what I love? When I go searching on google for a topic and the most informative links point back to the thread that got me searching in the first place.

Really eager to hear more about this!

QuietStorm21A · 12/01/2009, 11:06 AM

Damn if this is true and does evdo i def want one!

Joescan09 · 12/01/2009, 11:27 AM

Yeah I need to see some pics.

logie · 12/01/2009, 11:27 AM

Anyone know where I can order two of these for my workplace? I've tried my sprint corporate account manager and their store doesn't carry them, nor does the website..

We have a small office with bad reception.. 2 would be sufficient

Impulsebuyer · 12/01/2009, 12:12 PM

pics should be up in an hour or so be patient guys lol as for it being evdo compliant I couldn't say, I just hope it works for starters as I have been airaveless for 2 weeks now... My phone in my apt hasn't been the same since

I will edit the first posting to show the pics so you don't have to read all the way through
