    Hi!
    I've recently bought a studio XPS 1340, and I have the following question with it:
    After opening the box I've reinstalled the os to windows 7, and it works good.
    Now, I'm away from my home, and I'm using 3G internet with a usb modem, and when I removed my battery I found a slot for a sim card there.
    Does this mean my laptop has a built in 3G modem?
    When I enter the service tag on the dell site, I get an option to download WWAN drivers, and in the BIOS i can disable WWAN, but windows 7 doesn't recognize any wwan card, nor I can find a utility to use to connect to the internet.
    Any tips?
    Thanks!

    Yep, but you will need to buy the card.

    DELL WIRELESS 5530 WWAN Mobile Broadband HSDPA KM266

    Pick them up for arround £40, and they work very well.

    Will
