I am looking for a Socket/Symbol "Low Power" WiFi card and want to get the lowest price possible. Any suggestions on where to get it from except Ebay? I don't seem to get a price lower than $160.
BTW, which one is better? The Symbol or the Socket card?

UPDATE:
Do the above cards fit in the Axim well? I have heard some people say that some CF cards are a little hard to remove/insert on the Axim. These cards are CF Type I and I believe that Type I is smaller than Type II and so it shouldn't be a problem, am I correct on this?

Yo, what do you have against, Ebay, anyway? :roll:

Check out Pricewatch. Found a Socket CF card for $138 including shipping. Not cheap, but cheaper than $160...

Don't have a clue which one is better. Are you sure these cards are really that much better than the $60 Linksys ones? Is your main issue power consumption?

Err, just saw YOUR thread from before (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7922). Seems like this has been answered already.

Yes, in that post I was only seeking INFORMATION on the card and finally decided that I should buy it, but now I am asking where to buy it from? So I went through the threat again and MY QUESTION IN THIS THREAT WAS NOT REALLY ANSWERED THERE!?!?!?!
BTW I have nothing against Ebay! Just don't have an acount there and can't have one anyways. Thanx for your referal to PriceWatch. $20 makes a difference...

I recently bought a Symbol CF WiFi card here at the Buy/Sell, like new in packaging, for $75.00. I jumped on it as soon as it listed, but you will find other power-users selling theirs also when they upgrade to 5455's and no longer need them.
