Few days since the last blog post here.  Apologies.  Too many things to do, and never enough time.

Today I rechecked the Kyocera site to see what the status on the KR1 is.  Well, on this visit I did not find a “Coming Soon.”  I found purchase options.  Very exciting.

A few weeks ago I dashed off a line to Kyocera to see when the device would be available, and how a person could go about “testing a model.”  No results.  Sometimes companies are interested in demo opportunities, sometimes they’re not.  Always worth a shot though.

Given the fact that I do have an EVDO wireless card, and I was planning on getting a device like the KR1, I went ahead and ordered one.  Yup, it set me back a few bucks, but I’m trying to get the last items together before a much longer road trip.  And I intend to document the trip, and be a Digital RV’er to the extreme.

As soon as the KR1 arrives I’ll give a run down on it.  Also, there will be photos, and details regarding the ease of use (or lack of ease).
