    Its for the optional integrated AT&T WAN Card.

    If you do not have this add-on, the sim card slot has no use.

    This slot is commonly found in WAN capable notebooks, and like stooley said, it has no use unless you have the WAN card in the notebook.

    5300 has nothing to do with wimax - 5350 has wimax. And the sim card slot, again, is useless without a WAN card.
