Verizon Aircard = CDMA = no sim card

AFAIK, there are currently no 3G netbook models with a CDMA modem, unless you manage to find an HP 1000 with a GOBI modem which can do cdma and HSDPA. That said, I'm not a fan of integrated CDMA, as it means you can't just pull out a sim and use it in something else

OP; you say you have the 5720, are you sure? Because that is an internal MiniPCI CDMA modem card from Verizon, making things both more complicated and easier at the same time...
