Does anyone actually own one of these? I've never seen one used.

I hate you.

Yes, there are a few around.

I have contacted Novatel Wireless and received the following:

"As a preventive measure, we are replacing batteries and battery doors for our Canadian customers only. This is not a recall and Vodafone New Zealand is not affected."

So it appears New Zealand users are on the clear.
