    I saw Renee posting this on another thread:
    ***************************************************
    The packing list outside the box is VERY confusing. I bought a t61p that was advertised to have a WWAN card. It didn't but it listed every piece of the antenna system which suggested that there was a WWAN system in the box. But unless you were an expert on reading Lenovo-ese you'd never really know.
    ***************************************************

    In my invoice, it says:
    42X0819 SBB NVIDIAQUAD FX 570M W/WWAN

    But I know I didn't order the WWAN (assuming WWAN is the BroadbandConnect).

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    See this is the confusion about the WWAN. I no longer have the original box but it had WWAN all over it, which was what was so confusing. The "confusion" cost me about an other $400.00 and a day and one-half of labor.

    I had the same list - I think the 'W/' means 'without'. Since you are looking at a list of part that ARE present, note that it doesn't say 'W/NVIDIAQUAD". If a part is there, it is simply listed. I suppose they want to make sure it is marked on the outside if it does not have wwan, probably for localization and regulatory reasons - customs. Remember, the WWAN goes in the same slot as the TURBOCACHE, so if you have a Turbo, you cannot have WWAN...
