That Verizon gimmick works via an internal "cell
phone" interface, which not just requires a (Windoze)
driver, but also a Verizon account (and a long term
contract).

If you want cell phone internet connection then use a
USB SIM modem (I bought one from the UK) or one of the
new cell smart phones with WiFi interface.

That is cheaper and more universally usable.

And no, the SNAP drivers will only work in VESA mode
on the T60p.
And the speed improvement over a 2.28GHz T4x system is
minimal at best.

Heck, even the APM drivers don't work on that box.
