    The WWAN is provided by Sprint Edge though I believe it's possible to unlock it and use it with any provider. You can may customize SZ640 and 680 with an antenna, the 660, 670, and 691 all come with it. The 650 does not.

    If you are able to unlock the WWAN card let me know, so far neither Sony or Sprint have been cooperative on helping provide the SPC code required to use with another carrier (overseas)

    The UK version SZ has got a slot for a sim card, I am a bit disappointed with the USA SZ660 locking the WWlan to Sprint. I called sprint UK but they said they only deal with corporate users .So I could not find out if the wwlan can be unlocked .but my guess it can. I can`t believe sony are still selling the SZ with a faulty space bar. I only got mine October 2007 and the fault was there on day one . I then flew back to the UK so I did not have time to go back to the store, as we all know you cannot get it repaired unless you return it to the country you purchase it from.
