Frankly, that issue is likely to be due to money-grabbing lock-in in in the name of FCC regulations that don't seem to affect Dell or Acer, just HP and Lenovo. Funny that. I was bitten by this and remain angry about it. Lenovo have refused to cite any actual regulations, and when pressed changed their story to say that "various" rules around the world require this behaviour. If they hadn't replaced my 3G card free-of-charge with one that's authorized by them I would've taken them to small claims court. Please press them on this if you've been bitten too. They still haven't fixed their website and have stopped responding to correspondance.

> I was bitten by this
As was I. That is how I know about it. It's just rubbish, really.

Just to be clear, I was bitten by trying a _Lenovo_ 3G card which was not on the list. So, it wasn't even from another manufacturer.
