thanks for the link. That really does suck. Dell are freaking stupid. We can't order the WWAN in the UK but I thought I could add it.

I will install an antenna anyway...

@neil

If you want to open up your LCD to install the antennae, go right on ahead. With my limited computer hardware knowledge, I would never do such a thing. From multiple sources, I'm pretty sure if you don't order the Gobi, you will not get the WWAN.

Yes, everything is there for the card except the antenna cables.
However as far as I have been informed, you usually have to replace the whole display to one that includes the cables.

you can just fit the antenna behind the existing display and route the cables down to the wwan bit of a pain to do but its not too hard.

I've ordered one of these to use, will let you know how it goes.

If you find the right antenna cables and manage patch them through and into the display, i'd like to hear how you did it.

I would very much like to have WWAN.
I would even buy the whole display if it is not too expensive and I would be able to replace it.

its pretty lame imo that uk didnt get the option to add wwan.now im going to have to void my warranty to fit something that dell should have given you the option to add.

I don't think it's the HDD. I opted for the 320gb and mine hasn't shipped yet. ordered 2/2.

I'm sure its not your 320gb HD. I order on the 3rd and got it today which included SU 7300, 4 GB DDR 3 and 320GB 7200rpm HD (black finish)

I wonder if I could fit a Mini PCI-E SSD in that slot...I have a spare 4GB one I could use for ReadyBoost, if that would work. Only problem is, I don't have the retaining screws...
