EvDO and Sprint

Like many of us in this line of work, I often feel like I'm chained to my house or my desk. If a server has a problem, I have to respond quickly.

Lately I have even avoided going to dinner at places that don't have a wi-fi hotspot... so McDonald's has been the restaurant of choice... not a fun thing.

Yesterday I finally broke down and got myself an EvDO card from Sprint. I selected the Novatel U720 so that it was compatible with both my Macbook Pro and my older iBook G4.

So here's my real question, which is the better driver to use, Apple's WWAN driver, or the Novatel EvDO driver downloaded from Sprint?

In my neck of the woods, true EvDO isn't available yet, so the speeds are pretty choppy. I can get about 1.3Mbps download, but only about 92kpbs upload. I doubt switching drivers will improve my speeds much if at all, but I'd like to play around and see what I can do to boost things.

Anyone have any experience with either driver they can share?
