    I have had my studio 1737 for ages now.. I took it apart today to steal a U.Fl connector for my eeepc and i noticed a sim card slot on the board (remove the battery and you access it there) is it a modem or back up thing? Any ideas

    Not that we've already had 3 threads about it this month, but I digress.

    The SIM card slot is used for mobile broadband plans that require a SIM card for network access. If you don't have mobile broadband, you'll never use that slot.

    Thanks, just so you know i did use search "sim card 1737". Also im on mobile phone so it wont let me search twice it gets stuck saying try again in 19 seconds..
    Can you link me to the posts or someone guide me here.
    I use an external dongle/modem when i cant get wireless so i would use it.. How would i set it up in vista?
    Thanks

    There ya go. For the record, you should be a little more general in your search if something as specific as "sim card 1737" doesn't work. "Dell studio sim card" would probably turn up something.
