So you buy a new laptop with a built in HSDPA card and then Vodafone come up with this. The article reckons "a couple of ExpressCards initially". Stick to USB modems I reckon... at least Dell are integrating 802.11n cards (for a modest premium).
The 7.2Mb/sec is still using HSPDA, even if the intergrated HSDPA can't manage this speed now the only thing stopping it the firmware, and I would expect that they will release updated firmware allowing for the incrased speed.

Whatever advantage offered by the Dell is surely negated by the sheer fact of owning a Dell though?
I do agree on ignoring integrated ones mind... the USB add on from Vodafone works great for me, on both Mac and PC
