    Hmm, haven't kept up to date regarding SZ model... but I have the SZ150.

    Got a question, anyway to possibly swap out the WAN module inside the SZ to use one from a different company, for example AT&T or Verizon?

    I noticed Dell allows you to choose which one you want (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon), which makes me think that the WAN chip module may be standardized. Anyone know by chance? My SZ150 doesn't have WAN so I don't know. But I did notice when I took my SZ apart, that there is a plug that is unused, maybe thats for the WAN module?

    Of course even if it were possible, finding the module to swap in would probably be another challenge.

    I ask because I'm contemplating getting a new SZ.
