    Hello, I was wondering if anyone has swapped out the gobi DW5620 mini card with the newer DW5630 card?

    my provider uses the 2100hz band for High speed data and this dw5620 does not support this band. so im forced to connect on "edge" which is very slow.
    Can i just purchase the DW5630 card which does support high speed on the 2100hz band?

    Anyone?

    my main concern would be whether the drivers will install in the m11x since some dell drivers are locked to specific models. have you tried installing the drivers yet?

    I havent even bought the card yet as i wanted to confirm it works first.
    I find it hard to believe that nobody is using tmobile wwan on their m11x ?
    I think I've seen someone using the huwaei gobi 3k card which is the same thing basically. just uses its own connection software.
