I switched from the 5220 to the Kyocera about 10 days ago. The Kyocera
benchmarks are about 20-30% faster on downloads. It was slower on uploads,
oddly, by about the same margin.

Thanks for the input. I am considering switching to the Kyocera sometime
this summer - I have been told that I am eligible for an upgrade "soon".

I got mine with the upgrade, there was supposed to be a $100 rebate, but
I can't find the coupon, so will have to call them back. That will make it
free which is good.
