2215, Please Help me Decide

[CorysWorld]

I just got a 2215 for my birthday. I have been wanting a new PDA for a long time. I love the size of the 2215 and everything about it. My only hang up is no built in Wi-Fi. However PDA's with built in Wi-Fi are to large for a comfortable pocket accessory. I really do not plan to be surfing the web with this PDA but my college does have Wi-Fi in the cafe and academic buildings; checking e-mail would be nice. I could get a SDIO Wi-Fi Card and plug it in when I need it. Should I stick with the 2215 because of the size and get a SDIO Wi-Fi card for it? Should I consider the 5555 (I really want a CF slot so I do not know if this is an option, and it is really large and expensive)

Please help,

Cory

Stick with the 2215 and get a less expensive Ambicom, Symbol or Linksys CF wi-fi card and use the sd slot for memory. My setup works like a charm.

Looks like, that for the moment, SDIO peripherals are going to more expensive that their CF counterparts. With that in mind I'd look at a CF WiFi card.

I'm using the Socket lower power card and find that it is excellent. Be sure to download the drivers from the Socket site though.

Integrated wi-fi is not worth the size of the unit unless you will use it all the time, i.e. for work purposes, etc. I am posting this from my 2215 with d-link 660W card. It is great!

Anthony Caruana,

How much batteryu time to you get from the Socket wifi card? Are you using a 2215?.

Thank for the input everyone. I think I am going to stick with the 2215 and get a Wi-Fi card. It is such a great size to throw in your pocket.
