    Hey guys,

    I got my XPS 14 today, and it's awesome. Unfortunately in my country the WWAN/3G/HSPA (whatever you wanna call it) modem isn't an option, even though the sim card slot is under the battery as well as the WWAN aerial in the display.

    So my question is, does anyone know if it's possible to buy the part and install it? I assume it's similar to a wifi card or something? I have no problem installing it myself, I just need to know if it's possible to get the actual hardware.

    Any info appreciated.
