Sierra Wireless AirCard 595U EVDO Rev. A USB modem to be available on Verizon Wireless August 30

Wow, we’ve been waiting quite a long time for this thing to drop. After missing it’s initial shipping date for last year, we fully expected the Sierra Wireless AirCard 595U EVDO Rev. A USB modem in April. Well, now it’s August, and it seems that Verizon Wireless is finally offering the 3G AirCard on their network.

The USB modem can be plugged in directly to your computer, or connected through a dock. The Sierra Wireless 595U comes bundled with VZAccess Manager software and features a removable battery. It’s gonna cost you a lot more than the expected $49.99 price point - $179.99 to be exact (after two-year contract and rebates, of course).


We’re expecting this thing to drop on August 30, let’s hope Big Red keeps true to the launch window this time around.
