On June 22, 2010, Sprint has started offering Sierra Wireless’s 3G/4G USB 250U mobile broadband modem. This hybrid modem is Sprint’s first device of this type, which supports Mac OS X and benefits from a 180-degree rotating hinge –this is very practical, as it offers an obstruction-free fit on various models of notebooks, including the MacBook Air. The modem has a built-in GPS feature, which provides navigation and mapping information every time when connected to the Sprint 3G network. Last week, the same modem was introduced by Clear, but with a different name.

Business customers can already have the 3G/4G USB 250U modem, but the full release will take place somewhere in mid-July. The modem is available for free, after the $50 mail-in rebate, $50 in instant savings and on a two-year plan. This plan is priced at $60 per month, including unlimited data on the Sprint 4G network and also 5GB of data for Sprint’s 3G network. The 4G network from Sprint is available in 33 markets across the USA.
