What mobile phones are recomended for Ipaq ?

[Arcticblue]

I got a Ipaq 3850 and is thinking of getting online, now what mobilephones are recomended ? or what phones in general could I use to get online?

I would suggest getting the best out there: the t68i.

Since you got the non BT version of the 3800 series I suggest that you do one of 3 options.

1. Buy a BT card from a 3rd party to connect.
2. Use the t68i's IrdA port to connect with the iPaq's IR port.
3. Get a cable to connect the two devices.

Since the t69i has both BT and IR it is the best IMHO for someone in your predicament. :wink:

I just bought one, from Amazon, the linksys card for $58something. no shipping.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006ELLL/002-3456258-0859217

is the URL, this is the WCF12 (which is better than the WCF11) since the 12 is a low-power card.

Good luck.

That's a WiFi card, not a Bluetooth card, which is what it's needed to connect a PDA to a T68i.

he said to get connected, he suggested that he'd use a telephone to do it. Why not use a wifi card as an alternative if that is also doable?

Maybe because no phone currently on market supports 802.11x :wink:

if connected is what this person wants to be, and it can be accomplished using a wifi card for his PPC, then why not use a wifi card to connect his PPC?

Buying a wifi card is cheaper than buying a phone and a cable to connect them together, he still gets online and he does it for free using the host of available (for now) free (open) wireless networks out there.
