    Below are my concerns on the built-in WWAN Card on my SZ460N/C

    1. Does anyone know the manufacturer and model of the built-in WWAN EDGE Cingular card (it is crap by the way)?

    2. I would like to replace with a HSDPA WWAN with support of SIM cards so that I can just plug in the local prepaid data SIM cards overseas. I believed the existing WWAN card is an industry standard and the new HSDPA should be simple to replace and keep the SIM slot functional and accessible from the same location.

    3. I found this manufacturer and looks like they are one of the biggest suppliers of WWAN cards to many computer manufacturers. I don't know which one would be a direct replacement of my existing one. Sierra Wireless

    4. Since the WWAN and WiFi on the SZ cannot be used simutaneously, if I remove the built-in WWAN card, do I lose the WiFi too? Or they are seperate components?

    :confused:
