I have one of these, which is nice because it has both antennas and a
SIM slot included (and mine even came with a plastic box with an
"Option" logo): http://www.ebay.com/itm/161085735021

The tool-less locking mechanism will break if you change cards.  But a
rubber band is a perfect replacement :)

I also have one of these, which is better suited for card changing, but
require external antennas: http://www.ebay.com/itm/271167923360

Haven't tested any of these with the MC7710 as that is mounted in my
laptop, but they have worked with all the cards I have tried.  The
pinout and connectors, including the antenna connectors, are all pretty
standard.  Even the LEDs work as expected.
