T-Mobile USA finally lit up its first seven 4G LTE markets today, and decided to celebrate with an affordable new LTE-capable mobile hotspot.
As part of a media event Tuesday, T-Mobile announced the availability of the Sonic 2.0, the carrier's first 4G LTE mobile hotspot.
Affordable pricing
In addition to quad-band 4G GSM and 3G UMTS connectivity, the Sonic 2.0 features a 3000mAh battery for up to seven hours of continuous use, and touted as fully compatible with the latest Windows 8 and OS X 10.8 operating systems.
The mobile hotspot features a 1.77-inch QVGA TFT color display so you'll have full control over your connections and settings, and a micro-SD card slot allows users to store up to 32GB of content, which can be shared with connected devices.
As part of T-Mobile USA's new "UNcarrier" initiative, the Sonic 2.0 Mobile HotSpot LTE is available for as little as $29.99 down with payments of $5.00 per month for 24 months for qualified buyers.
If you prefer to buy outright, the LTE mobile hotspot can also be purchased for a one-time fee of $149.99, although customers will need a qualifying rate plan to use the device in either case.
