Hi: I'm using this with a Treo 750 - first with WM5, then I upgraded to WM6. As piece of hardware that does what it says it does, it really should be five stars. At home it gives we a wireless connection to my network with very little hassle. I didn't plan on using a data connection for my phone much, and thought I could use this at hotspots instead of incurring cellular data charges. With respect to fulfilling my need with the Treo, it falls short of my expectations; though this is definitely more related to my specific needs and perhaps my chosen PDA than quality of the WIFI card. I'll share them here, to possibly help out any Treo 750 users making a decision. I also use my Treo for music and audio books - swapping out the memory card with the WIFI card, and properly storing (and not loosing) the unused card became a little bit of a hassle. And as you probably already know, the WIFI card sticks out and holds the phone's card cover open. Also, when the phone went to sleep, I would often loose the WIFI connection and have to soft reset. I tried it at two free hotspots - Caribou Coffee, and within a city that offers free WIFI. The card found the connection as it should. But both services required me to log in on a web page after making a connection, but the web page did not automatically load in the mobile Explorer browser, as it does on my notebook computer. I did some Internet searches to try and figure this out, but haven't come up with anything yet. Yesterday, I signed up for an unlimited data package with ATT, and will probably no longer use the card, unless I someday have the time to figure out how to get it to work at hotspots. One other note - my phone carrier would really rather I buy a data service, and some of the preprogramming of the phone seems intent on making another connection more difficult. For example, under Proxies, ATT is checked, and unless, like me, you do an Internet search to find out you have to uncheck this box to connect elsewhere, you'll go no where. Also, when I set up an email account, the set up strongly recommended I use the preset SMTP (send mail) servers through ATT. I still put in my own with no troubles, but if I used ATT's I'm guessing sending mail wouldn't have worked through a different connection. Well, that's my $0.02. Hope it helps you make a better buying decision. Comment | | (Report this)
