    I am hoping that I can get the sprint wwan module that comes in the US spec TZs to put in my TZ90.

    Anyone know if this is possible?

    No one has any info?

    I would really like to get one that I can put internaly, as the external expresscard one sticks out too much for my liking.

    Anyone willing to sell me the one that came in their US spec TZ? Is that do able?

    I am planning to buy a sony SZ670 next week. Because this model comes with the sprint wwan card and antenna, i am willing to change this card with somebody who has an Japanese model wwan card. I am on a Visit in the U.S.
    but live originally in Europe. So i am looking for the UMTS/ HSDPA card to exchange with the sprint card, so i can use it in europe. People interested let me know, and i will keep in touch about my ordering of the laptop.

    I've got one I don't need -- but I would really like to trade it for the HSDPA card which works in other countries.

    I might consider selling it.

    It's a pop-in fit as far as I know, but I don't know about the software or BIOS updates.

    Dockhead,

    How much are you looking for on your internal HSDPA module?
