5 out of 5 stars Works like a charm   April 8, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Got this for the Palm Treo 700w and it works fine. There was a small learning curve on how to use it but it works great now!


4 out of 5 stars Does what it's supposed to.   March 31, 2008
This is a decent SDIO wireless card. Using it in my IPaq with no issues. The WLAN utility is basic, but very functional. Need to reboot sometimes to pick it up but besides that, can't beat it with a stick for under 30 bucks. Nice.


4 out of 5 stars Good Stuff, some flaws   March 23, 2008

The card works fine on my i-mate Jam, but I wont give 5 stars due to:
- If you leave the radio ON, it will drain your battery in a few hours
- Software hangs up from time to time. Windows reset required.
- Signal is not strong as I would like.

price/benefit is good, I recommend the item.



4 out of 5 stars It works   March 22, 2008

I have had this card in my PDA now for about two weeks. Installation was straight forward and card does work as advertised. I am using is with an IPAQ 1940 running v4.2 of pocket PC.

The Good:
-installation was simple
-card recognized with no problem
-it has expected range for something so small - and in general I think the range is very good
-works everywhere I have tried - my home network, public hotspots, etc.

The Not So Good:
-using activesync can be hit and miss - sometimes when I plug in it works and sometimes I need to eject the WAN card and reboot the IPAQ - I can't say I have spent too much time getting to the bottom of this and the workaround is not too much trouble
-I do find myself resetting the IPAQ more often then before the card, but this is not because the system has crashed but because it has stopped recognizing the WAN card - again, I have not spent much time troubleshooting this and I do not find it that much of a problem, just a little inconvenient

My final thoughts on this are that it works great, it's not perfect, but I paid about $20 for it and it was way cheaper than buying a new IPAQ with built in wireless networking.
