Kyocera KR1 EVDO router and iPhone - 3G on the iPhone!
Like others, I have noted that the iPhone will send calls to voice mail if you are actively browsing using EDGE. So, I got out my Kyocera KR1 EVDO-WiFi router, which I use with a Novatel S620 EVDO card on Sprint. This router comes with a 12VDC plug so I can use it mobile.
It works great, after I power up the KR1, the iPhone quickly finds the WiFi signal from the KR1. I can use the internet through the router on WiFi and still be able to take calls. Plus I get more speed from 3G that I do from EDGE of course.
Next I will be upgrading my S620 to a U720, to get EVDO Rev.A, and the iPhone will really fly with WiFi through the KR1 (since I'm in Sprint's area). Will definitely be keeping my Sprint data service for this purpose.
