    Hello, I have a XPX 1210 that has a sprint internal broadband
    "card" I think you would say.
    What I was wondering is if anybody knows if I can transfer that same card into my new XPS 1330 or do I have to spend the 100 plus to get a new one for it??
    Any infor would help.
    Thank you.

    I can't tell you for certain, but I believe that both laptops use a standard "mini-PCI" slot for that Sprint card (or whatever else you want to put in there, such as a Wireless USB card), so you should be able to transfer it over and not have to pay Sprint for a new card.
