Lenovo ThinkPad Z60m with Built-in EVDO

Michael

This thread will be used to discuss the Lenovo ThinkPad Z60m with EVDO and specific issues related to this laptop and how it works with EVDO. Other forums can be used to discuss coverage, service, etc.

For someone that has this, I am most interested to know how well it receives signal compared to a PC Card, AND if there are any external ports for EVDO antennas or signal amplifiers (I am guessing there is not).

If you just got one of these laptops, we can quickly activate your Embedded Verizon EVDO card for you.

hi - have been using my new z60m with the embedded verizon service. i was using a toshiba m55 laptop with a kpc650 card previously. changing over was simple - called verizon and gave them my old ESN from the 650 and the new ESN from the embedded sierra system in the z60m. i was activated instantly. my reception is better with the embedded sierra in the z60m than with the 650 card - even with the kyocera booster antenna. i get zero disconnects now - i mean NONE. everything about it seems better - less dropped requests too.
definitely an improvement. i have been on the new machine for 3 weeks now and have used it in 5 different cities with the same positive results. a definite thumbs up over the card. Very Happy

and, there is no ports for an external antenna on the z60m.
