    I am looking for something small to really tote around when I need to get on the internet in the middle of nowhere in a hurry without having to lug my 17inch notebook around.

    I looked at this thing and I didnt see where my Sprint PCS connection card would slide in. It's the novatel merlin S620. Card slot cardbus type II PC.

    Is it there and I missed it or is there an adapator via USB or something that it would work with?

    thanks,

    Mike

    i don't think the asus eee has a slot for your sprint wireless card. its almost guaranteed that some sort of usb solution exists.

    Yeah, no slot for the card, but three USB ports.... I just use my cellphone with a short usb cable to link them up and get 3G internet access on the EEE... works well and charges the phone to boot.... maybe an option for ya if your phone supports it? Or could go the bluetooth route with a small USB Bluetooth dongle if your phone supports bluetooth and don't want any cables. Or just swap your card for a usb sprint card
