Raphael,

there was a wwan module under Vista, it is listed in the hardware configuration, it does not have a sim slot because it's with a CDMA US provider called Verizon (that's who Sony contracts with for the US).

Thanks

Do you have a wwan module (phisically) on board?
A Vista partition is not necessary to see if you have eg. a
SIM-card-slot: it is located behind the battery-module..
