    Well, just as what I feared, the stick snapped when moving my laptop around. I was careful for the past two months since owning it but the idea of a stick sticking out is just a bad idea for a laptop designed to be moved around alot.

    Is there a way to permanently move the usb stick inside the CF29 ? I initially asked windmobile if they had a pcmcia internet capable card and they did not.

    What other choices are there?

    Absolutely there is a way. Extract the usb(2.0) on CN(18) and hook it up on it and then extend the antena atleast into the corner plastic piece of the palmrest. And If the stick is good enough to fit inside the plastic I've mentioned. It will be less of work.
