m4400 WWAN/cellular antenna-is it installed?

Hi

was reading that some of the thinkpads, like the x200 already have a cellular antenna installed, even if you dont configure it with 3g/hsdpa etc....

so all you need to do is pop in a WWAN card. Is this the case with the m4400? if so, im gonna hunt for one!

Would be good to know indeed...don't know how to check that though

 

all the m4400 and m2400 I've seen have the antennas installed.

Heck - even my xps 1330 and D430 have them in - seems standard on all WWAN capable dells - with the exception of the mini 9 that is.

wow thats cool....i wonder if my mum's inspiron 1525 has one as well, it does have a sim slot and its wwan capable

any idea where to get a HSUPA module for cheap?

 

best way to check is to open her up check the WWAN slot to see if the Cable antennas are there.

 

i would do it, but i have no idea what im looking for lol....how does it look like?

 

on the M4400 -turn it upside down - remove the base plate- its held in place by one screw in the middle

Look of the Empty Mini PCI E port - the one Labeled WWAN - there should be 2 antenna cables there - they should be one white and one black cables - the ends (where they would connect to the card) may be in little clear plastic tubes.

ok i think i can see that in enduct's review pic with the bottom open. cool!

now does anyone know where i can get a compatible card cheap?
