    Purchased a used AOA-150-1029, Model ZG5, in Florida and love it! It has the ATT 3G start up at boot up and I would like to know if is has the built in onboard ATT 3G capability? Perhaps it was one of the Radio Shack offers.

    Anyway that I can tell if it is 3G enabled?

    Connects flawlessly with any other available WiFi network.

    Curious.... :?

    1. 3G LED on the right hand side where Wi-Fi LED is placed. Switch below will slide to the left switching LED on and off...
    2. Open SIM card holder behind battery - in version w/o 3G build-in there is soft substance covering slot so you can not put anything inside...
    3. 3G modem it self under bottom hatch...

    If you try all this points and you find all this stuff in place you have 3G enabled machine...

    4. Radio Shack 3G models have a second "Contains Transmitted Module..." sticker on the bottom, very similar to the "Atheros AR5BXB63" WiFi card sticker.
