    I looked at both on Newegg and they seem to have the exact same specs? What are the real differences between the two?

    Thanks! :)

    The only difference is that the TZ130 does not have Sprint's EVDO service, no WWAN modem.

    Same goes for the TZ160 vs TZ170.

    Can anyone tell me what make/model the WWAN modem is that is in the TZ150N? I am having problems getting connected.... I did the whole 'initialization failure' in 'smart wi' deal that was suggested in another thread. The WWAN is now 'sort of recognized'

    However....There is one major 'dummy' thing on my end potentially, so be gentle.... I am trying to use my Verizon Broadband account with this modem. I think they are both EVDO, but perhaps the WWAN in the Sony won't work with Verizon service....only Sprint and Cingulair maybe?
