As far as we all know, the Blackjack II does not have WiFi capabilities. While not yet 100% definitive, we're a good 99.99% certain that there is no WiFi working or coming to the Blackjack II.

There is no wifi chip ever built in the blackjack2. The closest thing to wifi on the blackjack 2 is telthering the connection with a laptop/computer and sharing the internet connection from that computer.

There are SDIO wifi cards available. Spectec is even supposed to release a microSD version. However, this product has been on hold for quite some time and perhaps is "vaporware". Anyway (copied from a previouis post), there is an adapter on the market from SD to microSD format (http://www.ameri-rack.com/APA-TFC1m.html). You could get the SDIO compatible Spectec 821 wifi card and use this adapter to connect to the microSD port on the device. This should work (in theory), but I haven't been brave enough to try it out. If anyone has any experience with attempting something like this, let me know!

In my experience, memory card wifi is useless because of poor driver implementation and lack of native support in the OS. The OS has been designed to connect only to the networks it currently supports, so adding wifi through third party drivers will be a problem. I had a Linksys CF card for my older PDA, and it really was a pain, then it stopped working and I never fixed it.
These problems are all aside from the fact that this Spectec company has claimed to be working on their product for quite some time now. Pretty sure I remember first hearing about them "almost releasing" it a year or so ago, so don't get your hopes up. Like I said, 99.99% certain there will be no WiFi on the Blackjack II. At least, not until the Blackjack III comes out........ |

Well, there is no built in WiFi in a blackjack. End of story. People have compared the chipsets of the i617 and the european i600 (essentially a Blackjack w/ WiFi), and there is no WiFi chip in the BJ2. Also, WiFI cards/mods involving SDIO wont work, because as far as i have been able to tell the protocall is not supported in any MicroSD device. So no WiFi, ever. however, it is fairly simple to connect to the internet on the BJ2 using ActiveSync. You may think this is unrelated, however if you sync with bluetooth you can connect wirelessly and for free anywhere where is a computer that allows you to sync with it over bluetooth. Limited, I know, but there are reletively cheap bluetooth hubs that can extend the range of your wireless networking to about 20 metres from the hub, much longer than a low power dongle and will work for a home or office effectively. As far as i know the only other way to get wireless internet on a blackjack is to shell out for it. Hope this was helpful! |

I am not as technologically experienced as I'd like to be, so bare with me if my question is a bit silly or uneducated.
On this microSD card, would it contain wifi Hardware, wifi Software, or both??? |

The card would have the wifi hardware, the software or drivers would need to be on the device unless but technically there could be a standalone driver/software written for it.

Hey guys, i just contacted them and this is their reply about the MicroSD Wifi SDIO Card. :
"Dear Mr. Micah Mathai, Thank you for the mail, informing your interest in our microSDIO WiFi card 802.11n #SDW-823. The microSDIO WiFi card is still undergo. It's schedule has been postponed a little bit longer than expected because we have more intense and urgent cases to run currently. Please don't worry, it won't be late than Q3 this year, per our existing schedule. I appreciate your further patience waiting for the world only microSDIO WiFi card #SDW-823. Meanwhile, I have checked the spec of Blackjack II (I617) smartphone. It is running compatible OS WM6.0, but its expansion microSD slot not support SDIO. It is not able to work with our microSDIO WiFi card. I am not sure if Blackberry will release upgrade software for such expansion slot in future. If they will, you will have chance to use our microSDIO WiFi card then. Thanks for notice. B. Regards, Thelma Wang Sales Manager SPECTEC COMPUTER CO. LTD. 6F, No. 92, Nanking E. Rd. Sec. 5, Taipei, 105, Taiwan R.O.C. Tel: +886-2-2753 2953 ext. 30 Fax: +886-2-27532949 e-mail: thelma@spectec.com.tw SKYPE: thelmawang MSN: thelmawang@hotmail.com http://www.spectec.com.tw" SO OUR BLACKJACK II's DONT SUPPORT SDIO? |
