User Submitted SanDisk SDWCFB-128-768 Wireless 802.11b & 128 MB CF Card ReviewsDate: 2006-08-23 Great Card I love this card... It works great and the extra memory is awesome. I installed it onto an ipaq 2215 and I had small trouble installing it, but thats all the trouble that I had. Date: 2005-12-27 Works perfectly as expected but POWER HUNGRY !!!! This card installed without any problems on a PocketPC 2002 from the DOWNLOADED drivers from SanDisk website as many people recommended without even trying the supplied drivers. The memory part works fine and the wireless setup is easy and straight forward even for any begginer but BEWARE of power comsumption !!!... it eats batteries that used to last many hours and now I only have roughly 20 minutes of continuos use with the card installed. So you may have to use a spare battery, carry a charger or if on the road with your PDA and NOT using the wireless card, take it away or your batteries will die fast. But besides this power matter, my card gets the job done easily and connects without any problems to many different Access points and wireless configurations or "profiles". Date: 2005-12-22 Does not work with Jornada 928 I have tried using this card with my Jornada 928 (Pocket PC 2002) but the Wifi has never worked. I can access the memory portion without any problem. Tried installing the driver from the mini CD, sandisk website and even tried using the Socket drivers but nothing worked. Sandisk support team is useless and they do not have a clue. Asking me to return the card or upgrade my PDA. What a waste of money. Dont want to give this even a single star but cant submit my review without this. Date: 2005-10-03 love and hate.... Dell Axim X5 AND SanDisk CF WiFi card Well, if you have a Dell Axim x5, you better read this! The SanDisk SDWCFB-128-768 Wireless 802.11b & 128 MB CF Card will be your head hake, but, if you forget the 128MB, you will "almost" enjoy it... I bought this card just for the Wi-Fi, and.... I SOLD MY DELL AXIM X5 (!), but BEFORE THAT, I made them "working" together! And, furthermore, the new owner is my friend, and very happy with his new PDA-Internet connection! I tried all I could, and also bought an Ambicom CF WiFi card. But I kept trying the SanDisk. GOOD RESULTS: You can use either the newest software (from SanDisk, not from Dell), but REMEMBER to REMOVE the SanDisk CF WiFi card BEFORE you switch your Dell Axim X5 off! (If you forget this, soft reset it, and then install the CF Card). After you suffer a bit, you love it. Signal strong and stable, but I didn't like to unplug so often the card itself! ANOTHER solution is to install the software (drivers) of the most expensive CF WiFi card available online... You should know which one I mean: SOCKET...But You still have to unplug it before switching the PDA off. PS.: if you buy the Ambicom CF WiFi YOU WON'T HAVE ANY HEADACKE! Just plug it and enjoy it! My email is for people that HAVE both Axim X5 and SanDisk CF WiFi. If not, just buy Ambicom online (expensive in COMP USA). I hope this review can help some user. PS2.: I you have a Dell PDA, keep going on Dell! I've sold my X5 just to buy the newest Dell! BEFORE Dell I had Sharp, Casio, Compaq, iPaq, HP,.... NEVER AGAIN! Date: 2005-08-04 Good Stuff but not the best I have HP iPaq H2215 and use this wi-fi with my PDA. It works good and I was having a little bit hard time to install the software. I didn't use the software that came with it, I use the software from the SanDisk website (http://www.sandisk.com/retail/drivers-sdwcfb-128.asp). The software for Pocket PC 2002 / Win CE is different with Pocket PC 2003. For Pocket PC 2003, it doesn't really support WEP Encryption or probably I don't know how to set it up. I setup my router at home using WEP 128 bit encryption and I put a passphrase to encrypt it but when I tried to connect the internet using my PDA, it didn't work. I tried several times, changed the setup but still didn't work and then I decided to disable WEP settings and it worked and it still working right now. Overall, this product is good and it has extra memory for my PDA.
