    Figured I'd share with the world, as most of us don't have direct links to synnex or heartland... so monstronix has it here: http://www.monstronix.com/30srevafu-p-336031.html just letting u all know as this thing can be a pain in the rear to get.

    It'd be better news if Sprint didn't anger me so badly that I crushed their phone in the 40-ton press at work and flatten my brick to be thinner than a razr.

    But I'll definitely check out that link to see if they have other goodies that would do me some good.

    For cellular internet, it's the built-in setup (Uses those fancy antennas we've got on some of our books).

    Just to let you know, theres a company out of NC that has been listing those on ebay. Two to three hundred bucks. It'll work in the 29 & 30. Those things are so hard to find! I'm still looking for one for a 28. I modded all the 28's I've got to use the PC-5740 in the internal slot. Poor man's internal EVDO.

    There could be perhaps a USD$50 solution. It might take a little modding, but that doesn't scare many here, apparently!

    They were selling them for $199.00! Good deal either way!
