    Anyone know if this is possible? The one thing I left off my requirements list, is now turning out to be something I need. I realize I can go with your standard PCMCIA card, but I'd rather have it integrated.

    Any thoughts? None of the online videos or help show this as user installable...

    I don't know if the antenna is pre-installed, that's what you need to know.

    Exactly. I kind of doubt it. Can anyone confirm either way?

    Yes it is upgradable. All z60's have the blank slot for it on the side of the LCD, and it is only a matter of installing the card. It has been done before on another forum, with the part's listed out.
