 Get wireless easily! August 24, 2000

I got one of these to use with my Jornada 548. I had to switch my service and get the Qualcomm phone to use it, but that was fine with me, the Qualcomm is a real nice light thin phone. You do need to pay extra for web access with the phone, but that does allow you to use the built-in web-browsing on the phone as well, for things like stock quotes and weather. Installation is easy enough, although you do need to be sure to set the baud rate exactly as mentioned in the manual...usually a modem will adjust it down if you set it to high, but in this case, it just won't dial the phone. Other than that, it works great. However, it is a considerably slower speed than you get with something like the Pretec 56K modem, and of course, you DO have to pay cell phone connect fees. I personally would not want to rely on it solely, whenever I have access to a phone line, a regular modem is best.

I bought this product with a little apprehension due to anticipated (I am very pessimistic) compatability issues. Forget that.Installation was exceptionally easy and took only a few minutes (for all my devices). I was downloading my e-mail and surfing the Internet via my Qualcomm 860 phone in a matter of minutes. I installed the product onto the following devices: HP Jornada 545 (pocket PC), HP Jornada 690, and a Compaq Presario 1800 series laptop. All devices easily work with the product, zero compatability issues. This is a great alternative to other dedicated (and expensive) wireless devices such as the Merlin card, provided you have a mobile phone already. Socket includes an adapter that allows you to use the card in your laptop.
