    How do you get the 15% off and can you get it retroactively? I just bought a few things a week or two ago.

    I am in the same market and noticed the price of
    the 5720 jumped from $134 to $179 within the last month.

    I am not understanding why prices went up ...unless
    there is a serious shortage/demand.

    I searched for coupons for Home and SB ...but no luck on
    one that works on these cards.

    Still looking ..... will post back if i find anything.

    http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/..._id=6287&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=anav&sort=price

    ok .... via the above link, the 5720 (Verizon version for 1720's)
    it list $140 for one and $180 for another .... I can not find a difference
    in the cards except the Dell Part Number.

    I need a second pair of eyes to help me out. What am i missing
    for the $40 price difference?

    Ok ... I bit after I was mailed a 10% off E&A coupon that stacked with
    another coupon I had.

    $134 Shipped for the above (Verizon 5720), activated at my local
    VZW store yesterday without issues. I tried to transfer ESNs on
    my own, but could not find the option online to do it.

    Forgot to add:

    If you go Verizon - take note of $100 mail-in rebate offered.

    Link --> dell.com/verizonwireless

    "Get a $100 mail-in rebate from Verizon Wireless on select Dell notebooks when you sign a new 1- or 2-year Agreement on a BroadbandAccess plan"

    Must be an internal (mini pci) 5700/5720 card activated Oct 1, 2007
    through December 31, 2007
