So, probably the same for Fujitsu, but they show the WWAN option on the US website (for the T5010), last I checked!

Yes, but the T5010 model also hadn't an UMTS option in the US initially. They released a few months later an updated T5010 model with the UMTS option. So I expect that the European T4410 models have the UMTS option already, the US models in a month or two.

Correct.

Or not at all, as prior (Fujitsu) model history indicates!

I just took a look at a german site which lists them already, and the T4410 has a UMTS module integrated.
So the European models have it probably already, the US models later. Just my assumption.

.... from local fujitsu distributor in the Middle East (Egypt)... hope that M.E version will.... with a custom keyboard too ... otherwise I may wait for some weeks

I recieved sales quotation for the T5010 on 3/9/2009 w/ UMTS listed (no touch) , the next day, the T4410 was announced at IFA so I decided to wait .... I hope UMTS will be available ... cos waiting is boring.

#2) I cannot have 64 bit, since it only comes with 32-bit, I should only use 32-bit OS.

#3) For ultimate - Ditto same as above.

#4) Does not support >4GB.

Some of the answers they gave me may not be correct. Did any one actually try to do what I wrote in my list with T5010? T4410 is new, so I suppose not many got a hold of it yet.

To play blue ray you need certain graphics card I belive, will the Intel's integrated grapics chip work for external Blue Ray with T4410 or T5010. How about HD screen, doesn't it need HD screen.

Their documentation under specs used to say something like "future memory may support 8GB", they removed that clause now from T5010 & T4410.

As for ultimate - as I understand with vista you can install standard version and pay extra for ultimate, MS gave a key to turn ultimate features on, you need not reintsall OS. I assume same with Windows 7?.

If it supports 64bit, I would have to wipe out 32-bit and reinstall 64-bit and they may not have all the drivers for 64-bit, may be this is the reason they dont sell 64-bit. Some PC vendors don't sell 32-bit OS any more with new desktops and laptops.
Thanks

The T5010 does not support 8GB whatever some may claim here. The use of a 64-bit OS will increase memory availability marginally assuming that all the drivers are there.

There is a lot of difference between Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 Ultimate. The SKUs worked very differently in Vista from Windows 7. In Vista, Ultimate integrated features availabe in the Enterprise and Home Premium versions. This is not the case in Windows 7. The Pro version there is a superset of the Home Premium and the Ultimate is a superset of the Pro. The only things that Ultimate adds are (a) Bitlocker and (b) support for 32 languages. So, if it is important for you to move between a Windows 7 in German and a Windows 7 in English, then Ultimate is what you need to have (be aware that this is not "multilanguage support" which all versions have.

Yes, one cannot do an in-place upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit. There are some tools that allow this to happen but one needs to be careful in utilizing them. Laplink's PC Mover is one of them

The easiest way of moving from a 32-bit Vista (or XP) to 64-bit Windows 7 is to do enable multiboot capability. Vista has the tools included (no additional software is needed). After you resize Drive C: you should install Windows 7 64-bit in the unallocated space and make sure that all peripherals are working. Then, using the Easy Move program of Windows 7 you can move files and settings from Vista 32-bit to Win 7 64-bit. The last remaining step would be the reinstallation of the programs. When this is complete, you can delete the Vista partition. I found that this workaround allows for an easy move to 64-bit without any loss of functionality (since Vista 32-bit is still functional and you can use it until the Win 7 installation is complete).

Thnx.
Which Windows 7 is right for you? Below links may help.

"Virtual Hard Disk booting" and "Direct Access" can come in real handy if you have ultimate.

I wish Fuitsu combined enterainment also in it's tablet.
