Newbie Question,
Curious, what is it about the Globetrotter card that makes it work with
the Newton, that other GPRS cards like the Sony Ericsson GC75 GSM/GPRS
PC Card, or the Sierra Wireless AirCard 750 Triband GPRS PC Card
will/won't?

There's www.option.com which has an online store. They recently
launched a new GPRS/Wi-Fi combo card and then dropped the price of the
GT. They use DHL for intl. shipping - cost are high but service is
reliable and fast.
Another good source is expanSys (www.expansys.com) which use to have
some new and 2nd hand (but almost new) cards for good prices. Don't
know if they do overseas but you can check with some newtie from UK to
grab the card and forward it to you.
And, of course, eBay (do a search for GPRS PCMCIA on international
sites)...
