    No, the 7 in 1 card reader will read SD/MS/MSPRO/RS-MMC/MMC.

    i meant if it has a Sim Card slot for HSDPA.
    Most Dells, HPs, have a sim card slot somewhere behind the battery where you can put a sim card, and get wireless internet on the go..

    this slot is different to the card reader..

    No AW do not have a Sims card slot. Might be able to get one to put in the internal expansion slots.

    The Dell one's don't even work. I tried it on my m1730 and my sister's m1530 and nothing happened. I think you need to install an internal card for it first.
