    Can anyone tell me if you order an M1330 system without 3G/HSDPA card, does the system still contain the antenna wires so this could be easily added later on by plugging in a WWAN card and connecting it to the antenna?

    Awesome, thanks!
    I'm fed up with Dell's "your replacement will be ordered today" responses, only to call back the next day and find it is still "in progress".
    Called for full refund and ordered new one off eBay with next day!!!
    I assume they will charge me when they notice the card is missing but I wan't it anyway so that's fine with me!

    Oh one more thing... It does have the SIM slot under the battery, right?
    I'm told they all do but a 2nd opinion is always good!

    It would work but...

    1. It's slower.
    2. I can't use the phone and internet at the same time.
    3. The battery usage on my handset using internet constantly would probably kill the handset before the laptop battery runs out! (Especially if connected with bluetooth)
    4. I am 9 months into a 24 month unlimited data card contract.
