Is it actually possible to buy the XU870? I didn’t see any mention of it on Cingular’s BroadbandConnect site.

I hope that this means that Cingular is actually going to release this soon. I hate the idea of paying $350 for the device.

Well - for those owning the card, dont install this update quite so quickly. At the moment, for european users, this update persistently crashes the SystemUIServer. We have opened a report at Apple and awaiting a response. Seems they only tested this with Cingular in the US.

Samuel is Right, i'm using the HSDPA XU870 card, i just updated the OS and the drivers constantly restart the menu bar, that affects the dock and the performance of the Mac also.

Yes . I've just installed this update and menu bar is restarting constantly.
What should I do to terminate this ? How to disable this update ?
