I have found a small supply of the very very new Option GTM382

I would like to find a few other buyers to share the freight cost and hopefully lower the per module cost also.

I won't be making any $$$ off this so won't be providing support, but the source is a genuine Option one so there shouldn't be any issues should there be any warranty type issues.

Looking to move quite quickly so let me know ASAP please.

Looking around the $400 mark I would say, maybe a bit more.

Cheers

Possibly interested; depends on how easy it would be to retro fit to a Dell Precision M65??

Can't help you there sorry other than to suggest you open the flaps on the underside and see if there is a slot labelled "WWAN".

I'm scrapping this plan now, I have discovered Dell lock the BIOS on at least my model of notebook (XPS M1330) so you can't use a 3rd party WWAN module

:-(

Yea, I was a bit hesitant too. If it was less than $200 all up, I probably would have risked it. Ah well, will wait it out for the express card.

This one is the one to get at this stage (once it is released), just waiting on an ETA and price from my Australian contact.

Cool, keep me posted. Would be nice to get a device that had both 850 & 900 3G (to keep your options open), but seems like that will be some time away.
