    Hello all :)

    I see that Dell is offering their Mini 9 with a 3G option ($99 with $350 rebate). I was wondering if anyone knows what 3G card it is? On Dell it says:

    I was under the impression that the Mini 9 could only have wifi OR 3G, not both?

    I'm asking because I'd love to get a 3G card for a mini 9. I don't currently have a m9 but if I was to buy one it would not be via this $99 offer (too low specs and I don't live in the US).

    I presume I could then pop out the sim card from my iphone 3g and put it into my mini 9 3g card and it'd work just fine (carrier bandwidth issues notwithstanding)?

    Any pointers appreciated.

    Thanks kindly

    I just spoke with someone at Dell and they said the AT&T card will only work with AT&T service. That's a shame.

    Does anyone know of a 3G card that would let me use ANY provider AND still be able to use WIFI? Is there such a thing?
