When I was paying attention a couple years ago (novatel v620 cards),
the pcmcia cards were implemented as pcmcia-usb bridge, with a usb
chip. This made the drivers kinda grotty, and not-windows support was
lacking. The usb dongles seem more straightforward. This may or may
not be an issue for you.

The VZW software used to install "Venturi Client". A nasty bit of
software that was supposed to do this, but instead just interfered
with a lot of tcp communication. It stopped showing up with a more
recent software version, so I assume it's been dropped.
