User Submitted SanDisk SDWCFB-128-768 Wireless 802.11b & 128 MB CF Card Reviews (cont...)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. Date: 2005-07-15 iPAQ 2210 works with this card i downloaded the driver from sandisk website. plugged the card, configured the the network card, gave the ESSID and the WEP key and it connected right away. I have yet to install any software from the CD comes with the retail package and i got no utility to make any friendly config....but bottom line i got it to work like in 2 minutes not counting the search and download the driver from sandisk site. and the memory portion works too. Date: 2005-06-25 Dell AXIM X5 Mobile Win2k3 SDWCFB-128-768 Issues Ok. *SIGH* Here's the deal. I bought this wifi card because of the price. Also, i have Mobile windows 2003. This wifi card is a bit bothersome. In order for the pda to see the card sometimes, I have to remove then reinsert just about every time i wanna use it. Every time I reinsert, I get a message asking to reformat the memory on the cf card. If I tell it yes, sometimes i get an error stating there was a problem formatting the card. Sometimes, I dont get an error at all and it formats. Also, sometimes, I get an error stating the card is not recognized such as the drivers are not working correctly or the unit cannot read the card so it can set it up. Having memory on a wifi card is a bit redundant when you have to have the unit format it all the time. I have removed and reinstalled the drivers from sandisk's site. pocket windows 2k3 is updated. Also, the built in wifi settings under SETTINGS > SYSTEM > Power > WIFI is not enabled. I have to use a 3rd party program for the unit to see a wireless network and connect to it. When it works, the card is fine. the problems seem a bit overwelming when you are walking around downtown and you have to keep reinserting the card just to get it to work right. -Just my 2 cents... Date: 2005-01-17 Does not work with Dell Axim Make sure you read the support issues on this card, and preferably call Tech support to see if there are known issues with your pocket PC before you buy this card. I bought this card for my Dell Axim X5 (Pocket PC 2002), and it just did not work, inspite of trying to install and uninstall thrice. Sandisk support site and customer service rep claimed that there are known issues with Dell Axim - the 128 MB memory portion does not work. He claimed that only the wireless portion should work. However, that did not work either in my case inspite of trying everything under the sun. My recommendation - stay away from this if you own a Dell Axim. Date: 2004-07-20 Good card. Just needs more utils. I've had this card for a couple of weeks now. I did a lot of review reading before I got it and thought I'd add my 2 cents now. The card installed fine on my iPAQ 2215. Just make sure you go to the Sandisk website and get the right drivers 1st. Don't use the ones on the CD. The only thing I would like to see is some more advanced network tools. Otherwise, no complaints!
