Sprint has followed through with its previously stated plans to launch a dual-mode EVDO Rev. A/WiMax modem today in the Franklin U300 3G/4G modem under the Sprint Mobile Broadband brand.  The modem features over-the-air software updates, hands-free activation, internal antenna, a rotating USB connector, and GPS services on the Sprint EVDO network.

It should be noted that the $79.99 monthly cost for the mobile broadband service includes a 5GB cap on the EVDO network and 300MB while roaming, with no caps on WiMax service.  The modem is now being sold in the Baltimore area via DirectShip, Telesales and Sprint stores/dealers for $199.99 after new 1 year agreement before an additional $50 mail-in rebate, bringing the total to $149.99.
