MiFi 2372 review

Signed up for one-year mobile internet contract with Bell Canada September 2011 when I was using iPod Touch and HTC 6800.  MiFi 2372 was free with one-year contract.  No hotspot capability available with either iPod or 6800 so this device gave me internet access on the go. 

While usually it does a decent job, I am looking forward to the end of my Bell contract and moving onto another hotspot device (since my "new" Samsung Focus running Windows Phone 7.5 evidently cannot act as a hotspot either).  Problems with the MiFi 2372:
  • Sometimes suddenly stops working as a hotspot although still has power.  Cannot power off by holding down power button; have to pull out battery to reset
  • LED status light is indecipherable when there are problems
  • Sometimes loses the configuration (SSID, password, etc.) I've set up for it and it returns to factory configuration
Your experience with MiFi 2372?
