New AT&T MIFI Sierra Wireless “UNITE”
MTTF about a week.
LOCKED in “shutting down”.
Not easy to get access to the battery. Pulled it and reinserted. Problem solved.
Then, I had to fix what I messed up floundering around.
I popped the SIM thinking that might break the “shutting down” lock.
No dice.
I guess when I put it back in I didn’t ram it home. Afraid of breaking it.
So when it came back up, it whined about “no sim card”.
Easy fix.
But strike one!
Argh!

You might try other power cables. I have abbout three other, like the one for my LIVESCRIBE, that will power the UNITE. I think you need to make more noise on AMAZON, YELP, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, and other social media. Squeaky wheel gets the oil. All I have to do is “kvetch” like that and they contact me. Start a blog “UNITE SUCKS” and “NETGEAR SUCKS” for free on WORDPRESS and I bet they come a running. IMHO.

My AT&T Unite will not charge unless the USB cord is under tension. NetGear will NOT Warranty the product because it wasn’t purchased from AT&T.
