I have a red rocket stick for sale ( Never Used ).. I paid $150 something at
future shop for a novatel 2-3 months ago. Hoooked it up to rogers network,
it broke a month later. I called rogers to send me a new one which they did
( the little red one ), I lost my job, and can no longer afford it. Make me
an offer.
