tnkgrl,
I understand that but have u decided to use that area ? Ideally it would be good if you could mount it so that you could remove power to the HSDPA module while the OQO is still running and remove the SIM card. But in the end I would think you would have limited options and go for what ever works. Keep us posted on your progress.

Ordered my OQO 02 on March 28th, 2007 (XP Pro, Best with sprint), unit shipped April 27th, 2007 from Singapore (Not too shabby turn around time in my case). OQO called me and said unit should be here by Monday the 30th. No word yet on my OQO 02 Field Pack Accessory Bundle or my OQO 02 Dock Station DVD+-RW Dual Layer Drive. Tnkgrl how long before your SIM chip adapters arrive?

Using the pictures we have available to us of the OQO 02 internals can you show us were the connector is (if not specifically through the pictures, how about a rough zone). Have you looked inside your OQO 02 yet and found the spot? If so, could you upload pics to your site and link to them from Handtops.com? Were are you getting your ribbon cable? How much $? Thanks for any info in advance.

*1trillion*, I'm planning a full article on my blog to describe my HSDPA mod - you'll have to wait until then to get the details!
The information about the existence of a connector designed to accommodate a SIM card holder inside the Model 02 comes form a reliable source but is still unconfirmed - it's not visible in the FCC pictures, but apparently it's located on an existing ribbon cable between the EVDO card and the WiFi card...
As for parts, I'll be making my own ribbon cable by using Kapton tape and transformer wire and/or by hacking ribbon cable from other devices - the SIM card holders are free (I ordered samples from various manufacturers) and I purchased the Sierra Wireless card for about $200.

Ordered OQO 02 on March 28th (XP pro, Best, sprint... with free Docking Station) Both shipped April 27th and 28th. Both arrived today May 1st. No significant wait time to complain about here. Looking to upgrade to HSDPA now.

I'm still waiting for the HSDPA card that I ordered last week.

Tnkgrl,
If an OQO was ordered without the WLAN installed, might it still be possible to add one of these?

You mean WWAN, right?
Perhaps... There are 2 antennae for WWAN, and the external one is missing from the non-WWAN Model 02's - if the internal one is missing as well, we have a problem, otherwise we're good to go!

Tnkgrl,
Yes WWAN. How embarassing.
Thanks. I would not want to void my warranty, but it's always good to know there is some potential upgrade path should I ever need it.

*vadsoom* I plan to offer the mod as a service to others (for a price) once I figure out the details.
