The card operates on the current Sprint Power Vision Network and will support faster average download and upload speeds (450 kbps to 850 kbps and 300 kbps to 400 kbps, respectively) of Sprint's upgraded network when it becomes available. Sprint plans to begin its roll out of EV-DO Revision A during the fourth quarter of 2006.

The Merlin S720 will initially be sold through Sprint indirect and business sales for $249.99, and as low as $99.99 with a two-year subscriber agreement.
