    Hello, while replacing parts on my beloved M1330 and doing the copper mod, I learned I could slot in a WWAN card (i freaked out). So now after some research, i need help.

    1. Are there WWAN cards with GPS and can my m1330 use it?
    2. If there are, what is the best unlocked WWAN + GPS card i can get (i'm in Canada where unlimited data plans don't seem to exist, but hopefully the iPad will change that.)

    I looked around the dell website and ebay, and ive seen 3G cards that range from 1.2 mbps DL (dell, locked to US providers, expensive), to 7.2 mbps DL (Ebay, unlocked, cheap). And some GPS cards as well, but there is just so much stuff to look at that I'm confused as to what is the best.

    Thanks!

    Also, anyone have any links to possible palmrest paint mods? I'm planning to spray it black, and i have 2 busted palmrests to test it on.
