Today Verizon Wireless announced the availability of the USB727 Modem, which is the world’s smallest Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revolution A (Rev. A) modem stick.

The USB 727 features integrated microSD(TM) slot which allows for the seamless storage and transport of up to 4 GB of files, photos or videos.

The USB727 is designed to work with any computing device equipped with a Type A USB port — including most desktops, notebooks, and tablet PCs — and provides on-the-go access to Verizon Wireless’ national high-speed wireless broadband network. With out-of-box support for most operating systems, including Windows(R) (Vista, XP, 2000), Mac(R) and Linux, the USB727 enables Verizon Wireless customers to stay connected to online resources with speeds and performance similar to those of traditional cable or DSL connections.

The USB727 is optimized for Verizon Wireless’ EV-DO Rev. A network and the company’s BroadbandAccess service which provides average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps. Verizon Wireless customers with the USB727 can download a 1 Megabyte e-mail attachment — the equivalent of a small PowerPoint(R) presentation or a large PDF file — in about eight seconds and upload the same-sized file in less than 13 seconds.

The USB727 will be available at Verizon Wireless Communication Stores and Circuit City outlets on October 5, 2008. It will retail for around $200.00, not including rebates or other incentives.
