Novatel Wireless recently had their MiFi 2372 pass FCC testing.  The MiFi 2372 will be the first MiFi available in America that will use GSM networks.  According to leaked FCC documents, the MiFi 2372 will resemble the MiFi 2200--currently available in America, but running on CDMA networks--and it will utilize the 850/1900Mhz bands.
