    You'd need a minicard slot and antennas for broadband. Both are unavailable with AW systems, AFAIK.

    Correction, it might actually be possible to use this card in the M18x. I will give it a shot in a couple of weeks and report back.

    well, I know the m11x has a SIM card slot, at least. Dell probably put the other's sim card slots in the more traditional, "under the battery" location.
