    Funny you mention that but the way I have to install my PCMCIA Sprint card for it to correctly install before I put the card in. If I don't I have problems. But I don't know so I am guessing. Do you have drivers?

    I hope this works out for you and you post what ended up happening, because I may be interested in doing the same thing as you since I also have that slot free and would like to, in the future, get a Sprint card.

    I know I saw a review or something somewhere where someone did do just as you described, though I think it was a Verizon card and it was a regular EVDO card, not Rev A, but that shouldn't make a difference.
