GPRS, EDGE data service with Sony Ericsson PC card

I currently have T-Mobile data only service for $19.95/month with 5 MB
download. (Yes, this plan no longer is available for new subscribers)

I am using a Sony Ericsson GC75 PCMCIA card (2 years old) on my IBM X40
laptop. I understand that soon T-Mobile will come out with EDGE
service. And then I suspect my PCMCIA card will not be able to take
advantage of the speedier EDGE service.

I understand that other EDGE/GPRS PC cards exist such as:
Sony Ericsson 83, 85 and 89.

Does anyone have any recommendations for these or other equivalent cards?
Are these cards available in the US? Can anyone direct me to a source
to purchase one?
many thanks
Mahl
