I did and it was inconclusive. And I am just giving this whole forum thing a try. I rarely use them.

No, it does not. WiFi only.

Hmm.... I might buy Lenovo's tablet then. Thanks.

If it's a requirement for you, you may also wish to look at Samsung's ATIV lineup.

The only one with NFC is wi-fi only.

Just curious. Did Microsoft explicitly say that no Surface will have a cellular radio? I don't need it, but I don't remember reading that.

Seems like a pretty good option with these new combined data plans.

They didn't say that it wouldn't that I have seen/read, but all the available spec sheets only list WiFi under connectivity
