    Hi,

    I think I will be buying X200 Tablet by friend from Canada. He cant find there reseller so he will have to order by Lenovo website.

    While configurating there is no available Intel WiMAX/WiFi Link 5350 so there is no way for a factory installed WWAN ? Oh come on :(

    As I looked around for WWAN you need antenna + pcie card, right ? And I guess you need to drill a hole for SIM CARD where they battery is located lol ?


    Thats sad. I didnt think that there might be diffrences with stuff like that in USA and Canada. I understand that there are diffrent operators or stuff like that but I hoped that there wont be any hardware diffrences.


    Thanks ! :( :mad: :confused:

    In January, I bought a T500 from Lenovo Canada. There were no options for a WWAN/WiMax card but I can tell you that there is a SIM card slot underneath the battery. I guess the antenna might be already integrated too but I cannot confirm.
