    Hello, I was wondering if anyone has swapped out the gobi DW5620 mini card with the newer DW5630 card?

    my provider uses the 2100hz band for High speed data and this dw5620 does not support this band. so im forced to connect on "edge" which is very slow.
    Can i just purchase the DW5630 card which does support high speed on the 2100hz band?

    Anyone?

    Try getting a dedicated HSPA/+ card like the DW5550. Or an unlocked GOBI card.

    I'm guessing you're not in the US?
