MC8755 PCI Express Mini Card in a T60?

so has anyone actually seen a T60 with an HSDPA / UMTS card instead of an EV-DO card yet?

I asked this question of my T'Pad Support Rep as I am on GSM service and frequently travel to Europe.

As it wasn't an available option when I purchased my T60p (even though they had the agreement with Cingular in place at the time) I bought mine with the Sierra EVDO card in hopes that Lenovo would support swithching out the cards and provide the necessary BIOS/firmware update when the time comes. The cards should be physically interchangeable, but will require a software change to enable the service. I don't know if the "antennae" would need to be swapped out as well, but it's a possibility.

Here's hoping.
T'Pad 600e, 770x, A20p, A21p, A30p, A31p (2653-H3U), T43p (2668-Q2U) & T60p (2623-DDU)...it's an addiction.
