Today I received the new Cradlepoint PHS-300 I ordered. This is a phenominal device. It is a personal WiFi router that allows you to plug in your EVDO or HDSPA (3G) broadband USB modem into it and then share that connection with up to 16 WiFi devices. You can also use your cell phone as a tethered modem to provide the 3G connectivity. You can connect to the WiFi with either 802.11b or 802.11g and includes a complete NAT with SPI firewall. It features 64/128 bit WEP, WPA/WPA2, and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK encryption and supports all operating systems and PDAs with WiFi support. It also includes a Lithium-Ion battery for up to 3 hours of use (ships with an AC adapter but you can also purchase a car-adapter to charge it as well). I use it to connect my MacBook Pro and iPhone on the road allowing me to utilize the faster 3G network with the iPhone. The best of all worlds.

Richard, Its easy. I connect my USB720 from Verizon Wireless into the Cradlepoint to provide the 3G access. Then I use the iPhone and connect to the Cradlepoint via the WiFi connection. That is it. I then am online with the 3G EVDO Rev A. network via the WiFi connection on my iPhone.
