    Looking at the specs for this model as far as mobile broadband goes it says
    • Sprint and Verizon Wireless Mobile Broadband Built-In with Share My Connection....I thought that the VPC was only Verizon...
    So it means that I can choose my carrier either Sprint or Verizon...anyone could confirm this.10x..

    I didn't thnk that the Z13 series was tied to a carrier. They're not in the UK and I can use any provider. How many mobile carriers are there in the Amazon Jungle?

    Wasn't there a firmware hack or something that SIM-unlocked your GOBI?

    The Gobi 2000 is supposed to be unlocked / carrier free. Mine is.

    I get can this model right now for a decent price(brand new) but mobile broadband is a must for me...all others models that have it are tied to
    Verizon which is not my carrier...interesting enough is that looking at
    Sonys website for VPC-Z134GX/B there is no specs whatsoever for this model(only from the seller)just drivers download...We have four major carriers here...
