Bell announced the Novatel portable hotspot (MiFi) as one of their new HSPA toys last month, but gave little more than a November launch window. Well, a few more specifics have found their way through the grapevine: supposedly the MiFi will land in stores next Monday for $99.95 with a three year contract, or $249.95 straight-up. If you haven’t seen our review, the MiFi shares a mobile broadband internet connection to up to five devices via Wi-Fi, and has room for a microSD card for some extra storage. If you’re looking for just a single mobile broadband internet connect from Bell, you should check out the HSPA+ internet stick they announced at the same time as the MiFi – 21 Mbps is nothing to sneeze at. The MiFi should show up in Bell’s online store shortly though, so keep your eyes peeled.
