Sierra Wireless introduced two new USB HSPA-enabled modems – the Compass 888 and Compass 889, with only difference between the two being in the operating frequency they use. While the former utilizes HSPA on 850, 1900, and 2100 MHz frequency bands, the latter dumps 850 Mhz in favor of 900 Mhz. Other than that, the two modems are identical and both come with a microSD memory card slot and TRU-install software installation technology, which simplifies installation process and allows it to be done directly with the USB modem.
The Compass 888 USB modem is scheduled for commercial shipment in December, while the Compass 889 will be launched in Q1 2009.

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.
