Review: Clear Spot 4G Personal Hotspot

2011-01-19
what's up guys Jonathan here with TLD back with a review for you guys been a little bit swamped out with CES and then AM last week so when I get back on track for you guys a little fun fact to start today actually this month January of 2011 is actually the only month where there will be five Saturdays Sundays and Mondays in one month pretty cool right now for the review I'm taking a look at the clear spot 4G which is a portable 4G device it'll work great on your iPhone iPod Touch iPad it's a great alternative to your AT&T data plan the same thing no contract so not really anything you have to worry about there another cool thing fun fact you guys are getting all informed here Sprint actually uses clears data for their 4G internet so you're getting the same internet as sprint without the contract now you can actually connect up to eight devices with a clear spot 4G like I said iPhones iPod Touches iPads MacBook Pros anything I've used it on my iMac I took it with me to CES I did drag my iMac along so if you guys were laughing at that but it actually saved my butt in CES I mean everyone and their mom had a iphone so 18t just really didn't work he just couldn't make calls you couldn't use the Internet's and emails anything like that but luckily I had my clear with me and I took it with me a small enough to put in your pocket it's pretty compact smaller than a phone like I said it is thin so you can slide it in the front of your pocket in your pants in your backpack it'll fit there and you're not gonna really notice it but at the same time it's gonna do the job very well and be portable at the same time aesthetically this thing's got a black glossy finish so it looks pretty cool like I mentioned previously it is pretty small so you can put it in your pocket take it on the go quite easily now as far as the speeds in my area I was actually getting anywhere from four to seven down on a regular basis in the shot of your areas especially where we stayed at CES it was really one two three and the better areas of that like I said it was back up to four to seven as far as up so it really stayed consistently about one kind of buried a little bit from there now the only downside is it only does 4G coverage you can't get 3G if you don't have the 4G in your area if you do want that you can step up to the 4G Plus which is a little more money the one I'm looking at today is $99 if you want to buy it outright the 4G u plus is actually 225 and you can actually lease either of these for five bucks a month if you do want to sign a contract I however opted to pick it up buy it outright and not go for the contract overall it's definitely impressed with if you guys are looking for a nice alternative to Verizon's LTE network it's about half the price you do have unlimited data so with Verizon you are capped at five gigs and for me it's quite easy to go past that especially if you're using it with a MacBook Pro or your laptop portable device like that you want to use multiple things including your iPhone your iPad it is quite easy to go past that five gigs so definitely like I said I was impressed would recommend it for you guys I would probably opt to buy it and you figure five bucks times twelve months you're gonna be at that 99 bucks point anyway so just buy it outright don't worry about the contract and you're set to go so make sure to check out a couple of our latest videos including a cool firewire device for imax for audio production and some on camera DSLR monitors by Marshall we've been at CES this past week got a lot of videos so if you want to check out those two videos click right here if you want to check out our music channel we got lots more coverage on that thanks for watching I'll catch you guys later you
