Looks good...

...only the lack of CF/SD card would be the issue for me :cry:

It being CDMA would be main main problem with it :lol: (Please note location, otherwise that comment makes no sense.)

Did Wozniak really say that?! Sheesh, he hasn't looked at many of those boxes he's been making recently. You'd rupture yourself throwing them anywhere.

When they came out with the 3800 series redesign, I thought it was a foreshadow that they moved the speaker to the top of the handheld and the microphone down to the bottom - perfect layout for a phone sleeve. Hopefully this will make its way across the ocean and come in priced at well under the ridiculous prices that the current crop of PocketPC phones is at.

I liberated the quote from one of the online quote sites... so I assume he said it...

Steve doesn't work directly at Apple any more (from what I've read), and probably his lack of strength was a contributary factor :wink:

BTW, I moved to the USA from the UK four years ago, and spent a very boozy ten years living in and around Manchester (Salford/Withington) while at University doing my degree and post degree research.... Is it still raining :wink:

... minor problem with that theory: the microphone is not at the bottom of the 3800 series units. Both the speaker and microphone are at the top.

CDMA - Does anyone know which networks in the US use CDMA?

Verizon and SprintPCS

[pdagal]

Of course, you can do the same thing with a Sierra Wireless Aircard 555 for Verizon and 550 for Sprint. You supply the PC card sleeve ;-0
And you can do voice as well with these cards, it seems like this sleeve doesn't support voice.

[CoreyJF]

It looks like it does suport voice. If you go to the website you can even see the earphone/mic

[pdagal]

Right you are, I missed the "Calling and receiving" bullet point!

Yep, this looks really cool, I can never keep up with my d*** cell phone anyway and since i'm already with SprintPCS... So does anyone have any idea about price? What is £Ü 180,000 in US dollars anyway? :wink:

Hello:

Please don't forget that with any of the Air Cards you cannot speak into the phone, i.e., you can only speak through a headset. In addition to this, the combined price of the PC card sleeve and the Air Card is higher than the price of the sleeve. Plus, the sleeve is silver !!!

Though the PC Card sleeve has multiple uses (if you also want to use Ethernet cards, Toshiba 1.8" hard drives and etc). So if you already own one, or have use for one for things besides the Aircard, it can be cost effective. The PC card sleeve and Aircard 555 cost a total of $399. How much is this CDMA sleeve? I can't read enough Korean to have an idea :(

I think it will not work with GSM System I got this massege form them

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in our product.

The probelm is that our i-Kit is only compatible with Korean CDMA
network. We are working with other network operators from different
countries but no GSM/GPRS network. This will reauire separate development.

Thank you again,

Nicholas S. Lee
