Verizon, AT&T. No Sprint For X200/300 (Not Expr Card/USB)?

I already have a PCMCIA Card For My X32 and X61. I have the AT&T Card installed in my X200 Tablet. Are there no internal Sprint Cards? I'm trying to not have to buy an Express Card.

All of the newer models (X200 Tablet included) has WWAN and will be able to connect to Sprint's WiMax Networks in Q4 2009 and Q3 2010, but that's a while off and Sprint currently does NOT have WiMax installed in New York (negating the need for a card all together).

I guess this is a Yes or No question. Thanks in advance.

It's both YES and NO:

YES -- If you want to use a modified BIOS, i.e., one which does not insist on a Lenovo-branded internal WWAN card, then you can install an internal Sprint EV-DO Rev.A card.

NO -- If you keep the standard BIOS, then there is no internal Sprint card which you can install that will work.
