@tnkgrl: Yes, he did a good job; and I'm a real fan of your Eee (and other) mods as well. I guess the Air is a different kettle of fish where modding is concerned, due to the much more severe consequences ($$$) of failure....

@archercc: the fact you even mention that you own a dell is funny enough that you should never speak again. hah.

It's unfortunate about the WiFi and BT - but really, kudos on this mod!

I don't have the guts do to something like this to my MBA despite doing some crazy mods myself: [tnkgrl.wordpress.com]

I love built-in EVDO on my Dell M1330. I find I use it alot more now that it's always there instead of plugging in the card.

When I go out I configure the card to connect at boot time so it's like having wi-fi everywhere. No fuss, no muss.

Nice, little warranty destruction and soldering to get what came in my 12", 3lb dell from the factory.

Cellular broadband is awesome, secure internet anywheres.

That's kinda genius... when will Apple be teaming up with ATT to make this standard?

even more so when you just paid about an arm and 1/4 of a leg for a laptop, which you could screw up pretty easily, when everything is shoved in there all nice and tight...

Win and awesome. It takes some balls to mod a laptop, especially when you have to hack and solder. Props for the EE skills.
