What I'd like to see on my MP2000+ is the PC Card Modem from Nokia.

My problem is testing this card. It appears it would work in the US and it
also appears that it might work with a Messagepad. But I can't be sure of
either one, and I'm not ready to shell out that much money to try it.
Has anyone in Europe used the CardPhone from Nokia?
