I have to agree with you Kevin. Integrated WWAN does not seem practical to me, especially if you use multiple machines like I do. I switch my Sprint u595 between my Samsung Q1 and Fujitsu U810 all the time. Besides the added wideness, the HSDPA antennae makes the U810 look awkward and Dumbo-like.

I've been using the HSDPA version of the U810 for about a week now and I have to say, I like it!

You can also bump the hard drive to 60GB, from 40GB, for another $100. Too bad they didn't upgrade the RAM to 2GB though :(

Good catch Dan; the press release didn't cover the price of the radio. I'll update the post. It's funny how 3G phones are often subsidized due to the typical 2-year data plan commitment, but devices often aren't. For the 2-year commitment that this option would add, I think AT&T should pick up the tab for the $200. ;)

Hey Kevin-
The $999 MSRP might be a little misleading for people since that is WITHOUT the $200 additional charge for the 3G radio. As far as I can tell from the site the least expensive otion WITH 3G is $1199.

I'm with you, though, the usb modem ay be a bit less convenient but it is a whole lot more flexible.
