    Anyone here could confirm how many TX models are out there?
    A bit confused.

    Can anyone help me translate SONY model type? Understand all below models are SAME except different speed processor (1.2ghz vs 1.3ghz) & WAN features.

    TX 92 - is this for JAPAN Market?
    TX 37 - I found this in HongKong?
    TX 770/TX 850 - is this for US Market?
    TX 3 - is this for which Market?

    Other questions: Can anyone confirm:

    - PC Card Slot on VAIO TX, is it Express card or regular PCMCIA?
    - Understand Ivan from Portable One posted on how to unlock (WAN), has anyone tried succesfully? Can we use regular GSM SIM Card?

    Thank you!

    TX37 is also the model designator used in Australia. It doesn't have the WAN option here (no GSM/GPRS) as far as I have seen and it has the standard PCMCIA slot.

    dodgey, thx for your confirmation.

    FYI TX 37 also available in Jakarta Indonesia it does NOT have the WAN option as well.

    Do you know if there is a TX37 model that has WAN feature? do you if it's can be unlocked & use in ASIA? Thx!
