Fujitsu U2010/Fujitsu U820 HSDPA/3G mod

Fujitsu does not offer built-in 3G modem in all versions on its little tablet. Fortunately, U820 (known as U2010 in Asia) does has an empty and usable Mini PCI-E slot. Andre at his personal blog has given detailed steps on how to install a Mini PCI-E card in U820.

He chose Novatel Expedite EU850D Mini PCI-E as it included a SIM card on board. He went ahead and ripped his friend’s SE K800 and used its antenna in his mini tablet.

This mod would be loved by those who want to enjoy fast mobile Internet on their U820/U2010. The internal modem consumes far less energy compared to tethering which involves simultaneous use of UMTS and Bluetooth. So, if you can solder, we got two words for you “Do it!”
