Disappointingly, while the fact that it’s USB and not PCMCIA means it can be hooked up to one of Apple’s shiny MacBook Pro notebooks, Sprint’s Access Manager software currently only works on Windows-based machines; however, using the OS X version of Verizon’s VZAccess Manager lets you get online with the U720. The pay-off is a marked drop in speed, with our preliminary tests showing 342Kb/s downstream and 127Kb/s upstream on the non-Rev.A network.

Those are some nice pics of the U720, it really is a little bigger than what people expected. It is still a great portable mobile broadband card and a perfect card for people that have a express slot on their laptop.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to get the VZAccess Manager without being a Verizon customer. Once you do get it, what settings do you use in order to get the Sprint card to work on the Verizon software? Thanks for any ideas anyone might have!

Travis – the only way to get a copy of VZAccess Manager by being a Verizon customer or knows someone with a valid Verizon phone number. After installing the application, you’ll need the Verizon phone number again in order to activate it. No setting is required beyond that step. Good luck.

goto http://www.vzam.net and go through the motions of downloading the software. It will ask for a phone number so you can download it. You do not call the number, you use that number to download the software.
