smartphone WiFi

[Guest atownswhizkid]

Has anybody found a program that can allow a smartphone to have WiFi or does the phone automatically have to come with the phone from the factory. If you know of one please post it

I read somewhere that there was a Mini Sd wifi card coming , if so yhat would work in the c500 etc as long as manufacturer has thought about the drivers.

Erm...whats this got to do with the Magician?

FYI: miniSD WLAN card wont fit in a c500/c550 without modification.

[Guest uzi_999]

the c500/550's dont support sdio anyway- or mini-sdio..

or do they??

It is not very feasible to get WiFi on current smartphones, however there are upcoming HTC smart phone models that do support it. Honestly I haven't found anything currently out there to make me want to upgrade my typhoon so I personally don't mind waiting until phones with wifi hit the market.

I've been loging for one too. The furture's bright! Th future's Qtek 8300 and Qtek 8310.

2 new Microsoft smartphones announced : Qtek 8300 and Qtek 8310 - both with built-in Wi-Fi and Windows Mobile 5.0 !

wifi is listed in the [PHM] reistry editor somewhere on my c500... is that always in the regedit program (bearing in mind its smartphone edition), or has the phone got some wifi implementation? would one just need the card & drivers then (with some modification)?

Rumour has it that some trouble maker has already modded a C500 to use one of the mini SD WiFi cards. If we give him a nudge2k do you think he'd tell us how?

But there is a Smartphone available with Wifi already, it's called an Sagem My-X7. If you go to Socket Communications you can see they've got a driver for their SDIO WLAN cards for it sat there, and have had for a while.

So given that the Sagem runs Windows Mobile for Phones 2003, it almost certainly means that the plain old E200 will work with a WiFi card too.

Hmmm full size SD slot anyone? :)

[Guest skanna]

Has anyone got a WiFi card working on an E200, or even on the Sagem MY-X7? Still got my E200 lying around collecting dust. Are the drivers compatible with the E200? What's this I read about requiring SDIO Now! rather that just plain SDIO?
