Has anyone tried these before? They allow you to hook ur pocket PC to your phone, and dial an ISP and connect to internet. Here's the link:

I was planning on buying one, but they claim to not be compatible w/ WM 2003 for e755 devices...
If you have tried these... did it work okay?? any thoughts?

I've never tried to connect a PPC to a phone by any means other than Bluetooth so I have no experience with cables, but you can also get cables like this from Gomadic (http://www.gomadic.com).

I would e-mail the tech support and ask them. They may have a work around for your setup that they don't post because they don't want to support it.

Here's the response I got from gomadic.com:
I'm afraid we don't. The problem is that the e755 doesn't support serial communication (natively) which is required for our system to work properly. Sorry
I think I'm going to get the Samsung e715 phone, which has an irDA port. I'm hoping to be able to use that phone as a modem for my PPC using AOL 2.0 software. Anyone here try the irDA route?
