    Any one find a card for their Studio 17 and AT&T yet? I know some people were able to order their computer preinstalled with this card. I'd like to purchase just the card but need to know which to get. thinking the 1520 or 1530, but not sure the difference between the two, and/or which works with the 1735 that I have. I'm talking about the internal cards here.
    Please help!

    Why don't you buy Sierra Wireless MC8781 mini PCI express card from ebay?

    I use it in my Studio 17:

    Hah I got both beat prefer to use my EVDO 3.5 Rev A. Sprint Diamond tethered to my 1737.

    Yeah since I am tethered I can not talk but its a trade off, because if I have to talk and use my laptop theres usually WiFI around.

    Good in case your DSL or home service goes down.

    and its not at&t's insane fees. and terrible plans SERO plan forever.
