I've bought laptop in local store, so it was pre-configured and I've ordered no hardware. As far as I remember there was WWAN card in specs. Laptop model is Dell Studio 1558 (210-30963-Blue). Is there a way to check WWAN card existance? And also, I thought that SIM-card slot under battery tells me that card is installed, isn't it?
A SIM card slot means nothing without the WWAN card. Download a manual and verify the existence of the card. Given that a WWAN card costs an extra $125, I rather doubt that your laptop has it.

Did you order an internal WWAN card? Or is this an external card? What model card? What model system?

So, SIM card slot can be just a slot without any hardware connected to it? Can you tell me where I can download this manual?

The SIM socket is there whether or not you purchased a WWAN card. It is connected to the system board. The manuals are here:
