What’s Good:
The Kyocera KPC680 ExpressCard works with PCs and Macs alike. If you have a laptop, it’ll work with it.
It’s also built for EVDO Rev. A networks. That’ll get you DSL speeds on the go.
What’s Bad:
Alltel spoils us with giving us multiple connectors to fit any laptop with their KPC680. It almost makes Verizon look stingy.
Price:
Out of Production
Provider: 
Bottom-Line:
The KPC680 is a versatile, solid card built with the user in mind. It’s a good buy for a good price. However, if you’re looking for even more versatility, check out Alltel’s Kyocera KPC680. After all, they’re merging by the end of the year.

1. Details 
As mentioned in the Alltel aircard review, the Kyocera KPC680 is the Honda Civic of aircards. It’s cheap, reliable and gets the job done while still looking decent just about anywhere.
Most aircards are either a PC Card, ExpressCard or USB card. The KPC680 could be all three but isn’t. Its original form is an ExpressCard. However, what the smart folks at Kyocera did was to ship adapters for PC Card slots and USB slots with the card. However, Verizon doesn’t. Alltel does.
Another thing it’s got going for it is EVDO Rev. A speed. Speeds can run up to 3.1 Mbps for DSL-like speeds. It’s hard to go wrong here.
At the time of this review, the retail value was $199. However, you can get it free here.
