Cingular still buddying up with Lenovo for embedded HSDPA

To be honest, we really cannot blame Cingular on this. SEriously, this is a good thing for them and I think in the long run, a good thing for Lenovo as well.
The Thinkpad T60 notebook received embedded UMTS/HSDPA wireless data technology just recently, and the former IBM product appears to be buddying up with Cingular for more built-in wireless data bundling into mid-rage and high-end notebooks.
This is good news, but does limit consumer choice to a point. Sure — anyone can use a PC Card modem from Verizon, Sprint Nextel, Cingular or anyone else, but with an embedded solution — if you choose it as a customer — limits you to one carrier at this time, with Lenovo at least.
