I even still have my old Ricochet 128Kbps modem! Amazing how quickly things evolve.

Yeah, same here. Still got the old PCMCIA card for my Nokia 2110 (9600 woohoo!) and several Nokia Cardphones (no GPRS of course).

I went with Sprint and the S620. My daughter installed today and she loves it. She's in West Palm Beach, FL and reports that its really fast. Thanks everyone!

As an FYI to future readers...
I've tested all connections, Tmobile, Cingular, Verizon and Sprint, part of a companywide datacard rollout, and we settled on the Sprint ones. Their connection is quite good, better than Verizon's EVDO and a whole lot faster. And their compression software is intelligent enough to know when I'm on the VPN and when not. With other cards we needed to kill the compression due to major slowdowns as the card's compression software was trying to get access to our private network.
Also, Sprint gave us a good deal, free S620 cards and $45.00 a month unlimited data.
