Time to get your world traveling on, Verizon Wireless subscribers. Big Red has just announced the latest addition to its global roaming-ready mobile broadband lineup and as long as you can handle the rather loud choice of coloring, it’s not a bad option at all. The ZTE AD3700 USB modem packs just about every type of connectivity you could possibly need at the moment — EV-DO, GSM, GPRS, EDGE and UMTS are all covered in a single, relatively small package. The modem also features a USB connector that swivels to suit any and all laptop designs. As far as pricing and availability, the ZTE AD3700 will hit stores starting tomorrow for $79.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate on a new 2-year mobile broadband contract.

    at first glance it looks huge, but when you consider that the USB plug does too, maybe it is not so bad

    @StevenGlansburg
    what would be the purpose of having wi-fi, when most of the laptops have it already built in… it’s like a double negative buddy ;)

    Zach, what GSM frequencies does it support? Can an unlocked version be bought? This is similar to the MeFi-type devices, only for USB hosts. I’m a strictly GSM type of guy, but if a device could capture multiple carrier’s broadband signal and distribute it via WiFi or other means, I’d be elated. With Google Voice and similar apps, I don’t neede a carrier for voice or anything, just something I can pipe signal to my device with. I wished these watch phone makers would just make a device with an EVDO and triband WCDMA radio with a SIM slot and a WiFi hotspot and really start changing the game. I wonder if a watch could actually carry all that in such a form factor.
