Yes, there is a data card for N8k; it is the GPRS/EDGE data card it is the 3G data card that is for abt 20K or so.
and No,
it isnt locked to Zain sim cards. I dont think any of the data cards are locked to zain sim cards

It sure does depend on the area u find urself and also how many customers are browsing at that precise moment u are in that particular area. |

no they dont!! EDGE is over double the speed of GPRS whether you like it or not  |

You know its really funny cos we are happy about getting 30kbs with EDGE. when my Nokia 7210 Supernova( not the best phone on the block  ) was made for GPRS: 88kbs EDGE: 126kbs That means i should be loading Pages in the blink of an eye LITERALLY |
