MacBook Pro and Expresscard HSDPA

[Johnit]

Does MTN supply any Expresscards that will work in a MacBook Pro? From the Apple website it looks as if Apple recommends going the Expresscard route rather than USB. If no Expresscards are available, which of the current USB options is recommended?

Hi Johnit,

The e800 is an expresscard that is supplied by MTN, that i've tested with the adapter on the on the Apple PowerBook G4 OSX 10.4.8, it works just the same as the usb modem except using expresscard frees up your usb ports. That's why Apple recommendeds it.

Thanks unspokenchaos - great to know there is a tested and MTN supplied solution.

I use the Huawei E220 with my macbook pro. It is USB, but I do not have too much of an issue with free USB ports.
