Lenovo is preparing a new netbook into its product line – the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 Netbook, expected to come with integrated 3G connectivity. With the built-in 3G, you can hook up to Internet anywhere you’re by inserting a SIM card from your 3G cellular operator into this netbook.
The Lenovo S10-2 3G netbook will be powered by Intel Atom Processor, 1GB RAM and you can choose between two options for the storage drive which is either up to 360GB hard disk drive or up to 32GB solid state drive.
The IdeaPd S10-2 features a 10.1-inch screen, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, and 4-in-1 card reader. It’ll also be available in a few versions including the 3G HSPA, EVDO and WiMax versions. This netbook will also be equipped with WiFi and optional Bluetooth.

Hi
I have purchased lenovo ideapad s10-2 for its unique feature, i.e integrated 3G connectivity. With the built-in 3G, you can hook up to Internet anywhere you’re by inserting a SIM card from your 3G cellular operator into this netbook. But after purchasing notebook I found there is not any sim holder inside, I went to Staples and asked the seller about the feature, they showen me to insert the sim, but after they insert sim the hell begins, there was not holder inside, so it went inside and they loose their sim again the told to go to service centre for removing the sim, cause it went deeper and the service centre said that this is new product so i cant support, in Bangalore, IBM-Lenovo near BTM. Tell me what to do ???????????????

Btw did you follow the instruction on the manual on how to insert a SIM carc. You can download the manual here, on the page 34, it shows you with a drawing on how to insert the SIM card. The SIM slot is at the back.

yesterday i purchased the same model and did the same mistake in excitement………. and the same result….
There is clause in the manual that it is applicable to only some models……..I think that they should explicitly mention that 3G facility not present in the model……….on the whole its a great product….
