Great video, I have just ordered a card and will be giving it a go this week. Did you get the drivers from the Dell website? I wont be using the Vodafone connection and if possible I dont want the branding ether!

thanks for the video ..

but just a question.. was it really worth it.. i mean couldnt u just connect your laptop with a n hsdpa fone via usb and that should do the job..

why pay an extra £50-70 for an internal WWAN card..

is there somethin special about the card? do you get faster speeds ? or is it just for convenience sake

Anyone know if a Sierra Mc8775 card will work instad of the Dell 5520?

NoobKillerSM August 16, 2010 at 2:10 am

It is possible to put inside this laptop the same SIM card that i have in my mobile phone or I have to buy broadband SIM card ?

spikey1984 August 16, 2010 at 2:10 am

which broadband card did u buy? like specifics?? cuz i want to install a 3G sim tht my service provider has but its not at&t t-mobile none of tht can i just pick any and it will read my provider or what can i do???

Averlinden11 August 16, 2010 at 4:56 am

what are your tech specs?

spikey1984 August 16, 2010 at 5:45 am

no because you need to access the screw that holds the card in place, and if you connect the cables first they’re totally in the way.

gil3l3y927 August 16, 2010 at 5:45 am

not trying to sound like a smart ass…but

would it have been possible to attach the black and white wires first? then put it in?…or no

ianberke August 16, 2010 at 6:45 am

do you use foxfire and i got a m1530 with 7200rpm 320GB and 4 gigs of RAM will it be good

fuckindiacrushindia August 16, 2010 at 6:54 am

great job done
thank you very much,just could you confirm, what kind of card is compatible with the xps m1530, as there are many on dell website, but they are very expensive, how about Ebay. What speed do you get, and what could be the maximum you could get, does a 5510 and 5520 differ from each other.

spikey1984 August 16, 2010 at 7:39 am

just to give you guys a little update: since my 2nd one was broken as well (display + optical drive)
I’m out. I canceled my order. Not getting a new laptop right now – i’m fed up :p.
