Mmmm… two great tastes… Cingular and Lenovo just launched a Cingular-enabled ThinkPad T60 which means this is a Lenovo with a WWAN chip in there that accepts SIM cards.
The laptop is compatible with With EDGE or GPRS data service and can roam to over 100 countries world-wide. It weighs a mere 4.8 pounds and includes a 14.1-inch TFT, 80GB hard drive, ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 graphics chipset, and a Core Duo T2300 or T2500 processor running at 1.66-GHz and 2-GHz respectively.
The laptops themselves cost about $2000 and the service is $59.99 a month for unlimited connectivity. You’re not going to be bittorrenting the second season of Lost with the Cingular GPRS, but you’ll be able to get email and surf the web with ease.

Judging from the $69.99 service charge, looks like users will not be able to pop in their regular SIM card from their cell phone even if they have data services on the phone. Too bad.
BTW, why is Lenovo releasing new laptops with IBM logo?
