    I've noticed the SZ370 has been removed from the Sonystlye website. The only difference between this unit and the 360, as far as I know, was the integrated WAN.

    I know in the TX series, sony has dropped the Cingular EDGE service modem, and they now have the Sprint EV-DO network which apparently is faster...

    Do you think they are in the process of doing the same thing with the SZ series? If so, would it be smarter to hold off until the new SZ's have integrated WAN that is compatible with the Sprint Network? Also, is there a big difference in terms of speed between Sprint and Cingular?

    I have no experience with using these mobile broadband services but am familiar that EVDO is much faster than EDGE.

    They may be preparing to release the SZ4XX series with Vista preinstalled perhaps?

    Also, you could always buy an older SZ with the EDGE modem and always use an Expresscard EVDO modem if you wish.
