One of my coworkers bought one of these and the Sprint software wouldn't recognize the Sprint card even though the system recognized it as the same device his old computer recognized the aircard as. He ended up just getting one of the new expresscard aircards.
Another more expensive option you could go with if there isn't a good express card option available for you is to get a mobile broadband router. A couple of the models by Linksys and D-Link cost around $200. It wouldn't be a great option for away from home access but at least you could position it in the house where you have the strongest signal and share the internet between your laptops.
Thanks for the link; I had actually seen the Sewell product via Google, but was hoping for addt'l options. The Omnibus option is a good one that had not come up in Google as readily as the Sewell product.
Keep in mind that one of the benefits of a forum like this is an archive of discussions.
I ordered the adapter from PSI. I hope to be able to use my Sprint Wireless Card on my MBP. I'll update the forum with results once I receive the adpater.
