Battery Life Isn't Great - Speed is amazing
on April 2, 2011

So I was super excited to order this early through verizon, and get it for a trip.
Ended up not going on the trip and using it to work remotely in DC. Was sending emails and doing general web browsing for 2hrs when the battery died.
I didn't send any big emails, or visit many flash webpages. Uploading/Downloading was minimal at best.
It says the batter is good for over 200min, and I didn't get that at all.
Speed is amazing, love how fast it sends things and loads web pages. Don't know if the switch from 3g-4g was worth losing half the battery life.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight, super fast downloads
Cons: poor battery

Dissappointed

This was a good idea at the time, but it seems to take forever to connect to the Internet and before I can finish my project, the battery runs out.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This product is a godsend where hotels charge for high speed internet

I travel close to once a month, and find that MOST hotels charge for High Speed Internet. The charges, per day, are outrageous!
Using my Samsung SCH-LC11, I can connect with my office, at a good speed, (where 4G isn't availabel), and GREAT speed where I can connect with 4G.

Pros: Inexpensive, great while on the road
Cons: cannot think of any
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can't believe the complaints! It works great!!!

Expertise:Intermediate
I don't have any issues with this Samsung product. Whenever my home Internet connection goes out I can rely on this device. I travel frequently and my work has to go with me. I hate the idea of paying for hotel fees for Internet. Plus I enjoy doing my work on the beach and this goes with me too. My only complaint is that there is no display. I can confirm that the battery life for this is roughly 9 hours. It's a great device for people to have and it fits easy into my bags. I love it!
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: no battery indicator status..just green light
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not Impressed
on May 12, 2012

from Hudson Highlands of NY
Have had this product for almost a year. Even with the upgrade to the latest software its performance is uneven. Sadly I can only use 3G as 4G hasn't hit my area yet. How can that be? I live near the USMA in NY which is a prominent military academy - & there's no 4G yet in my area??
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Function without Form
on January 24, 2013
Posted by: RGordon
from Maine
Expertise:Expert
Gets the job done but only for relatively short periods of time. Battery life is limited to less than 4 hours and the unit lacks any battery indicator, making it impossible to determine the battery condition when in use or charging. No other indicators except simple LCDs that show 3G or 4G and whether the power is on and ANY tablets/computers are connected to it (not how many).
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: lacks battery indicator, minimal indicators overall, poor battery life
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Mostly Love It.
on April 22, 2011
Posted by: MoonDancer
from Naples, FL
Expertise:Expert
The design and features are great, it's easy to use and easy to set up. It's fast. The only thing I don't like is the short battery life - about 3 to 3-1/2 hours. The instruction manual doesn't say how to tell if the battery is fully charged, either. So I did an online chat at Samsung and found out there is a small beep when it's done. It takes 3-4 hours to charge.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight, effective
Cons: battery life & instructions
