'Expresscard' format on Dell laptops?

I'm in the market for a new laptop and was just about to buy a Dell 640M, when it mentioned something about not supporting PCMCIA cards. Looking through the consumer Dell machines, it seems even the higher end XPS doesn't support them. Dell seem to be pushing this 'Expresscard' format instead..which is a problem for me as a I wanted to use my Vodafone 3G card with my new laptop.

So:

1) Is it correct that my UK Voda card won't work with a new Dell laptop?

2) If it will work, has anyone successfully used a cellular data card with this new type card format?

Cheers.
