That's the icky part isn't it?

On one hand, Entourage wants to make money off of the new hardware deal with Verizon so it would not be in their financial interest to support a USB solution for AT&T. But, on the other hand, why would they want to alienate their loyal early adopters by not allowing/supporting the USB option.

I hope they opt on the side of the loyal customers and still find a way to make the deal with Verizon.

If you have the USB modem, I'd be happy to test it for you. Seriously. PM me if you are interested.
