Ok, a little off topic but I thought I'd ping the collective to see if anyone had seen one of these.

I travel a lot and had been using an old Sierra Aircard 750 with my thinkpad. I never had much luck using the MDA as a modem and it was easy enough to pull the SIM card out (tmobile) and stick it in the 750. I needed to do this because we use lotus notes and the web site where we can access it is a java app which runs only intermittently on the MDA.

I was recently upgrade to a dell xps which has the newer expresscard slot so my old 750 won't work. I've been looking all over for a GPRS/Edge expresscard modem and cant find one, it looks like Novatel is going to release one towards the end of the year but I could use it now.

Any ideas?

My advice is to get the MDA working as a modem. Why spend money on a new solution when the MDA could work just as well?

I guess if the job is paying the bill, then it's a different story.
