It wasn’t the best of times nor the worst of times. The Novatel EX720 is an okay card. It’s an ExpressCard that’ll get you the regular features (EVDO Rev. A, GPS, Antenna). However, there’s nothing to get extremely excited about. When it first hit the scene in 2007, yes, now, it’s average.

You can pick up the Novatel EX720 for free.
