Really Evan? I think I paid $50 for the device I bought from Digicel. Might be able to get one on ebay for half that, but I'm not into the whole bidding thing. I'm not patient enough for that.
For me, it was the convenience of walking into the store and knowing that when I walked out, I had working internet. I didn't want to deal with buying something stateside, then hoping I could get it to work with the local networks. Evan is definitely more sophisticated than I. To be fair, it's not rocket science. I'm just willing to accept spending $30 extra or whatever it is rather than spending more time figuring it out.
A lot of ways to skin the cat. Regardless, mifi with Digicel or Lime service, which means either Mr. SIM or picking up a SIM card on arrival, is generally probably the way to go.
