I received my new A90 last week, loaded W7 RC and the Apps I need, and it is running perfectly. Now I want to establish wide area internet & email connectivity via AT&T, my mobile phone provider. The WWAN location under the bottom cover does not have a connector installed. There is no pcmcia slot, only a SDHC slot, so what are my plug & play options, if any, for establishing an internet connection through my cellular provider? Is there a plug in card that will work through the SDHC slot? I use an iPhone so I do not think tethering to the iPhone is possible without jailbreaking it which, for many reasons, I cannot do. |

Most cell phone providers have a USB stick with a SIM card in it that you can use for connecting a laptop to the cellular network. I don't know what AT&T call it, but they should have info on their site, or in store. | Dell Mini 10v | Obsidian Black | 1.6GHz | 2GB Kingston HyperX | 1.3MP | 160GB SATA HDD | Bluetooth | 802.11n | Windows 7 Ultimate | Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. - Unknown Before Elvis, there was nothing. - John Lennon |
