    I heard a rumor that you can swap the built in Sprint WWAN module with an AT&T module from a USBConnect card. From what was said, the module in the USBconnect is a PCI interface and so is the built in Sprint module in the TZ series laptops.

    The reason I'm interested is because I've got an AT&T data service plan and a PC Express Option GT Ultra Express card. It would be sooooo nice if it was internal instead of sticking out the side.

    I found pictures on how to dissasemble my TZ2500, but if the rumor isn't true, why bother!

    Does anyone know anything about this?
