The master of mobile modding, jkk, wastes no time tearing apart new gadgetry. Case-in-point, the brand new Viliv X70 [Portal page].
Good to know that someone is brave enough to break open a new piece of kit and post up some high resolution pictures so that we don’t have to do it ourselves! Swing by jkkmobile for additional images.

In the second picture, the sim card holder is the lonely green square on the top of the device. The wifi card is built into the motherboard I believe.

I see it shares the S5 design, with the 3G card and the SSD sharing the space that would otherwise be occupied by a HDD.
This means that (just like the S5) if you purchase this without the 3G card, adding one after the fact will require use of a soldering iron to add the pci-e recepticle.
Bad news for people in the US on Verizon who need an EVDO card, and don’t want to shell out extra to get a useless 3G card.

Is there any possible way to convert a the x70 and or the s5 to running voice services using the the sim? I have heard quite a few people that they would want an integrated phone UMPC combo.
