Verizon Femtocell Mini Review and Unboxing Pics!
Ok,
So I've been waiting for this unit for quite some time and I was finally able to sit down and activate the device this morning. I have also included a link to Flickr where I have some unboxing photos of the device for your viewing pleasure 🙂. Now lets get down to the Nitty Gritty of this bad boy.
First thoughts....
Fit and Finish--
The device is sharp, it comes in a sleek black housing with 4 nice blue LED indicators for: Power, System status, WAN, and GPS. No other lights are on the device. The unit also has a small black pop up antenna. It looks sort of like an older motorola surfboard cable modem. I really like the look and it's one tech accessory that I won't mind having on display.
Function--
Setup was simple. ...

I think the femtocell is rated at 1X only, not evdo. even tho my phone is showing evdo.
...

Its been working pretty good so far today. Im showing full bars right now on my curve and the call quality is very good.
...
yes, a max of three phones and one line is held open for emergency calls.
You can play with the settings online and set up priority numbers so others cant hop on your femtocell.

you have to been within a 15ft radius of the femtocell to get the signal. Any verizon phone can use it. But you can set priority clearance for YOUR phone/s. I have mine set up with my cell number and a few close friends that have verizon. So if somehow, someone else is accessing it, they will get bumped off if three of your preferred numbers wanna hop on.
