    I'm looking for the antenna pigtail that goes from the SONY ERICSSON EDGE GC83 PC CARD to the antenna connector on the left side the PC slot.

    thanks

    Since you don't already have the Sony-Ericsson GC83 card I would suggest you go instead with the Sierra Wireless AirCard 860 3G PC Card Modem for Cingular/AT&T, as NTTD will soon have the custom-made pigtails to fit the 860 card and CF-29HTM50BM laptop's WWAN antenna lead-in.

    I have a card and a pigtail.

    If my net access goes down again like it did yesterday check bluerockranchcadotcomfor my address and phone.

    I sent you a PM but I think lightning hit the tower or something.

    But I will PM now.

    Hey TopCop1988,

    I took your advise and ordered the Sierra Wireless card and made contact with NTTD.

    thanks

    Good deal! I am getting four of NTTD's pigtails when they come in, even though my "new" CF-29 Mk5 CF-29NDLGFBM has a built-in AT&T HSDPA modem.

    I will use two of the pigtails in my other CF-29 Toughbooks with the Sierra 860 cards (and have two others as "spares" ;) ).

    I sent this dude an e-mail asking him if that price was correct and he had the guts to say YES and that it was a reasonable asking price...

    If you click on his "See other Items" link you will see that he's out of sight on virtually everything he has for sale! :eek:

    I dunno... seems his price on those GoBooks is not that unreasonable at $4400 for a lot of 10... especially considering they cost the taxpayer $8800-$12,000 each 4 years ago. If they do come with healthy batteries as the auction states, I wouldn't mind having one; not that I can spare a dime right now...

    Of course, it'd probably just p!ss me off like my Cf-28 did...
