I have a ipaq 3765. Do I need a sleeve to use a CF memory card? Can't I plug the card directly in the bottom?

You will need a sleeve in order to plug in a CF card.

Check out eBay:

Make sure that you get the right one for your model number. If I remember right, the 3600 and 3700 series iPaq use a different sleeve (because of the connector) than the 3800, 3900, 5400, and 5500 series.

Actually the sleeves can fit everything from the 3100, 3600, 3700, 3800, 3900, 5400, and 5500 PocketPCs. That was the point of them, to be interchangeable and not have to buy something new each time you got a new iPAQ. I personally have had the 3135 and the 3975 and was able to swap the sleeves I had for each.

I would highly suggest the CF Plus Sleeve, it has an extended battery in case you get a Wi-Fi card or something else that uses a little extra juice. It also has a part that can cover the screen and buttons, this can be removed. This sleeve is also still available through retail.

I stand corrected :lol:

I must be confused. Aren't the cradles different because of the connector?

Only partially confused. The sync connectors are different. The sleeves don't connect to the sync connector. There is a seperate feature connector for them. That they managed to keep consistant.
