    Hey Guys,

    So have a look at my system specs in my signature to determine if I can do the following. I bought this system in Australia before I move to NY for an internship. However I'm just wondering if I buy the AT&T WWAN (HSDPA 3.6) Mini-Card does that mean that I have to remove the Intel 4965AGN Wirless-N Mini-Card. Can I use the two Mini-Cards simultaneously.

    Also, is the AT&T WWAN (HSDPA 3.6) card locked (upon install) to the AT&T network. You see in Australia HSDPA 3.6 is the standard network and my cellular network in Australia is HSDPA 3.6, so when I get back to Australia I would like to use the WWAN in Australia.

    As I have the second best level of warranty and service in Australia, once I get to New York can I order the product, can I have someone from Dell and install if professionally for me. I've read that they can install it so the WWAN is locked to AT&T, is this true.

    Here is the address of the card: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=313-5166

    So if anyone could be of any help, I'd be very grateful.

    Cheers,
