Tiny, but delivering tremendous mobile connectivity, the UM150 weighs only
1.57 ounces and measures 3.61' (h) x 1.46' (w) x 0.65. Downloading and
uploading files (Forward/Reverse Link) is fast with the UM150 since it can

the UM150 has the ability to run on multiple bands including CDMA 1x EVDO Rev.
A & Rev. O, CDMA 1xRTT and CDMA 800, 1900 MHz.

The innovative UM150 also works as a flash memory drive with a memory
capacity of 64 MB (Flash)/32 MB (RAM) expandable to up to 2GB or more
(dependent on market availability) since it has a built-in micro-SD card slot

Christopher, president of UTStarcom Personal Communications. 'Busy

and portability of the UM150.'
