Guest BawBagg Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I've had 2 of these Safecom cards from ebuyer for my M500. Both have been DOA. Has anyone else had this problem. Should I ask ebuyer for a refund, or should I have them send me another card?? My SD slot works fine, as my 1GB card sits quite happily in there. I have installed the drivers, before anyone asks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest G2W Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 2 sep questions: does this wifi card portrude from the phone? maybe crazy, but is it possible to add wifi to this phone (hardwire upgrade)? Anyone tried one of these? http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/in...oduct_uid=89714 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about hardware upgrades.. but i'd guess if it was possible PPCtechs would offer it. The fact that they don't suggests that it's not possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest G2W Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 thx. i'm pretty sure I want to get this phone. I live in the States and was wondering u know who sells the unlocked version with 128/64 or 128/128? RAM/ROM versions that I've seen for the UK? Yes it does by about half a cm.

Guest ah5150 Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 is anyone else waiting for more stock @ ebuyer, cos i am. knowing me i'll order a more expensive one and it'll be back in stock. It hasn't been discontinued has it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ah5150 Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 it's back in stock @ ebuter - 16 in stock, well 15 now i've ordered 1!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nickb23 Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 hummmmmmm... all out of stock now. It says that they are not going to be in for 60 days? That to me seems a little long for that product - actually any product. Has anyone had this before, and got it delivered in less than the time said? thanks Nick B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest feck_on_a_stick Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 £17.74 to deliver to Belfast :) Thats a £15 surcharge on normal delivery. Im gutted and feel a bit cheated too! That takes the total to almost £43!!!! So its not so much of a good buy for me and what I want to know is it actually still worth it? This is my first attempt at wireless cards for a mobile device and havent a clue what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zippy172 Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Well.. eBuyer are now totally out of stock of the damned card I was about to order...Website says the item is either unavailable or discontinued. If by some miracle they get more stocks in, I'm, going to buy the entire stock and put them on eBay :> Ok, perhaps not...but still, these things are selling like hot cakes!! The cheapest I can find elsewhere is a Pretec card on Expansys at a staggering cost of 54 quid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Baadsha Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 http://www.usbtech.co.uk/catalog/product_i...products_id/327 i have found 1 on this website just need to know from others that have the ebuyer 1 what the dimensions and sizes are here it is quoted as Physical characteristics: Dimensions: 40L x 24W x 2.1H mm. if that is same as the ebuyer 1 then i shall order. but the pic on the above website looks as if it is gonna stick out a mile like the scandisk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chucky.egg Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Those dimensions are identical, it just looks like the sticky label is longer (which would mean that it goes into the device, not a problem as long as it's well stuck down!)

Guest chucky.egg Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 (edited) I'm not recommending the seller, but there's an eBay auction for the SafeCOM WiFi cards at £34.99 + £2.99 P+P http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-PDA-SD-WiFi-adap...1QQcmdZViewItem There are at least 3 other auctions with 30+ of these cards at £33 upwards Search for "sd wifi" Edited September 5, 2005 by chucky.egg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ah5150 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 FYI all waiting on ebuyer stock, don't bother - my order (placed on the 25th Aug) has been cancelled after i raised an eNote (re:) the product being picked for four days and the status changing from out of stock to discontinued (seen the previous ebuyer posts and thought i'd mention even though they've messed me about i'll use them again).

Guest Palindrome Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 (edited) The card came today. Delivered next working day, got to be happy with that. :o It comes with a miniCD, that has all the software, and a simple instruction booklet. I configured my router, installed the card drivers, then the utility, plugged in the card and I was on the internet 5 seconds later! Much faster than my bluetooth internet connection. The utility allows scanning for available networks in the area and shows details about any connections it finds. The signal strength is great and I can connect from anywhere in my house! I'll be messing around with Activesync and more home networking stuff later on this evening. I'm very pleased! :( Edited September 7, 2005 by Palindrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
