You know what's cool about this Compaq laptops?

Not only do they let you latch onto a high-speed EV-DO network, they let you do it without a clunky external card. The connectivity is actually built right into the machine itself, providing a seamless connection to Sprint's speedy wireless broadband-ness.

To be included on the Compaq 2710p, the 6510b, 6910p, and the 8510 series of laptops, the integrated EV-DO support is reportedly free with purchase, so you don't even need to pony up any extra bucks to get your hands on some glorious mobile blogging, road-worthy YouTube, or random web surfing while driving to grandma's house.

The downside is that the actual Sprint Mobile Broadband service is not included as part of the package. The service fees are all on you.

In India BSNL has planning to give EV-DO network coverage soon.. And it has already started to give EV-DO usb hosts.. And i own one.. and i'm using it.. but still they are providing CDMA 1x (144Kbps).. soon they will enable EV-DO(2.4Mbps) and other companies are also planning to do so.. so it is related to indians... please comment only if u know what is going on in the tech market.
