T-Mobile 4G Mobile Hotspot hands-on

We were wandering the show floor at CTIA like a pack of hungry wolves when we came across the T-Mobile 4G Mobile Hotspot which we'd discovered a while back and which was officially announced yesterday. The ZTE-sourced device is T-Mobile's first ever mobile hotspot, and features an AWS-compatible HSPA+ radio capable of speeds up to 21Mbps. Sadly, the unit we handled was missing a SIM and we were politely asked not to insert our own, so we just snapped some pictures. Until we find out more about pricing and availability, feast your eyes on our gallery below.

I damn near thought this was a phone at first

Sadly, DOA too.

Wow, this is so late to the game in so many ways. I've been using Sprint, VirginMobile, and Verizon mobile hotspots for years. I love my $20 1GB Verizon plan, which is plenty for my business use. It beats the $60/month I had been paying. Will T-Mobile offer anything like that?

Also, I feel any T-Mobile plan or service coming out has a set expiration date due to the pending buyout.
