Does anyone of you have any experience from this CF Card?

I'm thinking of buying one for my 2215...

By chance, there's a front page review of this over at www.brighthand.com

Thank you!

It's looking nice!

Maybe a regular Bluetooth connection would work as well...

I will post a comparison of using a BT phone and the Convergent card later this weekend. Having used both I prefer a BT phone over the Convergent card. The T68i is an excellent phone for this purpose and is atleast $75-$100 cheaper than the Convergent card. And you also need to buy Running Voice GSM or something similar for the CF card (that's another $30+)

This looks exactly the same as the Audiovox RTM-8000, which was released almost a year ago in Europe:

Yes, the Convergent card is the OEM device and the same card is sold under other names with service provider branding. The advantage of the convergent card is that it is unlocked and can be used with any GSM provider worldwide. The other cards are generally available only from service providers.

Thank you!

As I have a Siemens S55 I'll try the bluetooth connection for a while and see how things work...

Have a nice day!
