User Guide of Dell Latitude XT leaked with more details about mobile broadband support December 04, 2007 [mobile PCs (Tablet PC, mini-PC, ...)] | By Edward J. R. Updated: see the end of this news story! Dell is breaking with old tradition of not making Tablet PC notebooks! Now everything is possible: also smartphones from Dell! Dell Latitude XT is not on sale yet but it will be one of the smallest Tablet PC notebooks, and apart from digitizer support it will support also genuine multi-touch display (unlike fake multi-touch that Lenovo offers although in fact it is just "single-touch combined with active digitizer"). Interestingly this small Tablet PC features built-in mobile broadband, including external "whip antenna": A Mobile Broadband network, also known as a wireless wide area network (WWAN), is a high-speed digital cellular network that provides Internet access over a much wider geographical area than a WLAN, which typically covers only from 100 to 1000 feet. Your Tablet-PC can maintain Mobile Broadband network access as long as the Tablet-PC is within a cellular-data coverage zone. Contact your service provider for coverage of a high-speed digital cellular network. NOTE: Even if you are able to make a call from your cellular phone in a specific geographical location, that location may not necessarily be within a cellular-data coverage zone. To download the user manual, click HERE (PDF file, 10 MB). Update: the user manual mentions SIM card what indicates that this Tablet PC will support HSDPA (and thus also UMTS/GSM/EDGE/GPRS): The SIM card is located in the battery bay. You must remove the main battery before you can access the SIM card.! (CDMA EVDO doesn't use a SIM card)
