Telus is launching Compass 597 USB modem from Sierra Wireless to allow customers with notebook computers to access the Internet on the go. The USB EV-DO Rev. A modem is cleanly designed and we’ve already seen it being offered through Sprint in the U.S.
The device comes with TRU-Install software, which makes installation a breeze for both Mac and PC users. Download speeds are expected to average between 450 to 800 kbps, while the upload speeds will be somewhere between 300 and 400 kbps.
In addition to the modem function, the Sierra Wireless Compass 597 also has a microSD card slot to provide “convenient storage and file transfer capabilities.” It is available for $99.99 on a three-year contract or $299.99 without a contract.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
