Does anyone currently use an evdo card with a Dell D420 with the Ricoh carbus controller?

If so please post here and let me know which card you're using. Thanks!

this morning one of my compatriots called dell. they suggested the 620 novatel. no word on whether or not that works.

We have gotten the Verizon Novatel V640 ExpressCard and PC Card adapter (also from Verizon) to work well. The Verizon Kyocera KPC650 is the card I prefer, but it conflicts with the Ricoh Cardbus Controller and reboots the laptop. No known fix for this card yet.

The Novatel V620 card works also, but is an older card and download speeds are 30-35% slower than the KPC650 or the V640.

I would love to see some performance data comparing the cards above against the D420 internal EVDO solution. Nothing solid posted out there to date that I've found.
