    You mean 3G/UMTS Express card? Yes it does exist. See www.novatelwireless.com. I just bought one of Merlin XU870 for my notebook.

    Well, that's a different issue... In my country we can buy it without any subscription, because the card comes with a SIM card slot and we can place any GSM provider's SIM card in the Merlin one.

    I bought mine from Novatel Wireless' distributor in Jakarta, Indonesia. Not from any online reseller. It was quite expensive though... the price in my country is about US$ 400 :(
