Hey "esquire" - thanks for that link - but how do you actually purchase from that company. I've tried a few other companies with an Express card adapter for the Type II PC card from Verizon. But, this seems much better since it's plain old USB. I assume this will work in the E1505, correct? We are crushed that E1505 does NOT accept our Verizon Type II card! We absolutely love this laptop, but if we can't get it to use this card, we'll have to return the laptop - bummer. I don't understand why Dell did this. They should either offer the adapter or offer Express AND Type II compatiblity. Sigh.
I'm quite the opposite - I wish my 6000 had ExpressCard slot (care for a swap? hee hee). Unfortunately, PCMCIA is being phased out - even the new Apple MacBook Pro supports ExpressCard only, which promises to be much faster using PCI-E and USB 2.0 technologies, but it does take time for peripherals manufacturers to catch up. This was the same when USB was first introduced. Hopefully, Apple will give this new technology a push that it needs :smileywink:

press verizon to make an expresscard version of their hardware (or USB2). you can't make old pc-cards fit, as I'm sure you've noticed.
if you are within the return period for the card or the computer, you can consider that as well
