[xSIC]

Hi Gurus,

Is it possible to buy  from lenovo an unlocked 3G Mobile Broadband data card for T400s TP?

Is it Qualcomm GOBI Mobile BroadBand Option an unlocked card I can use with any 3G/GSM service provider, globally?

Are there any performace differences between AT&T's, Verizon's and Qualcomm?

All the cards Lenovo puts into currently shipping models have unlocked cards.

The Qualcomm GOBI card can do either Verizon EV-DO or 3G.

The Ericcson card is 3G only.

Hi Lanogre, For 3G cards, do you know which frequencies (GSM and WCDMA) does this broadbands data cards support? So it is possible to use this data cards with any GSM/WCDMA service provider SIM? for instance Brasil? Mexico? Thanks a lot.

The card supports WCDMA 2100/1900/850MHz  GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz

The card supports USIM, GPRS-aware and Regular (non-GPRS-aware) supported 3V and 1.8V type  SIM cards.

Is this still true all Gobi cards ship unlocked?  I am going to purchase a T400s and I noticed that the Gobi cards are different prices for different carriers thus I am suspicious that they are getting locked now.

Hi g27c, 

Did you purchase your T400s with the Gobi card?  was it locked or unlocked?

Thanks in advance.
