Hi your message is stunning. I will definitely read your blog.. ciao

any idea on the price…i’ve seen some of the old cf wifi cards on ebay still for 80-90 bucks. Will it be worth the risk if i find out that it doesn’t work for my bj?

Well its been a year since the news of the micro sd wifi card first came out. I was one of the first ones to get myself the Blackjack when Cingular released it in early fall last year. And I am still waiting. Is spectec going to release it ever? Or should we give up waiting.

Also, are there any other alternatives? Has anyone had a chance to use and test it yet? anyways, the wait continues.

I haven’t been able to find it or get a specific price yet. Granted, I haven’t looked in the last couple weeks… when I contacted them a few months ago, they said August. With the normal delays, I guess it’d be a good time to start looking again. Of course, I’m on my second Blackjack and it acts flakey too. Sigh.

I emailed them today to see a possible release date and where it will be available for purchase. I’ll post again when they reply.

“Dear Sir
It will take another few months

BR
S.T”

That’s the reply I received today. Hopefully they won’t say the same thing in a few months..

Since I emailed a couple email addresses on the Spectec website I got a couple answers. I like the new message better:

“Dear Sir:

The SDW-823 of micro sd wlan card will be released in October, we’ll inform you by then, all of our products you may purchase from here directly, thank you for your attention.

Best Regards”

So hopefully no more delays and we will have wifi on our wifiless phones soon!

I just caught wind of this idea, with my recent purchase of the Samsung BJ under ATT. However I’ve noticed in my searches, that this was announced almost a year ago.

2 thoughts come to mind. 1. Why is this random (no-name) company the only ones who are claiming this solution, I would have thought SanDisk or some other communications or NAND manufacturer would have been also to capitalize on this idea by now. 2. Perhaps they are having trouble maintaining their “claims” 9-11 months after anouncement of developement seems like a long time….

Not a big proponent of using my smart phones Data plans, I am in huge favor of using Wifi….

this guys have the best price for microsd card

Can we delete this guy above me who is advertising?

Hi Guys…..I got a BlackJack 2 and I know it support SDIO, would like to know if any one had any experience with this card.

Thanks,

Just got a BJ II also and hpe when it comes out it works. The 3g does not work where I am, but I love this phone(and I had an iphone before). If anyone finds out the release date please post. Thanks

its still not out yet right??? would love to buy one!!

I too have a blackjack. I was not very impressed by its constant dropped calls and whatnot. But overall it’s a pretty good phone. (really tough too, I’ve dropped it many a time )
Anyhow, I was wondering if there will be charges for internet use through the provider? In other words, will I be charged as if I was browsing the web on my phone?

Hey kip, if you plan to use the web browser on the blackjack you should get an unlimited data plan. I have a blackjack because i liked my co-workers and i have unlimited. it comes in handy sometimes. my co-worker ended up dropping his data plan to a specific monthly rate for x amount of megabites and he ended up going over. his overage charge on data got him a bill of 250 dollars when he thought he was going to save by down grading his plan. our plans are normally about 80 bucks a month with employee discounts.

Yeah, I would like to get the unlimited data plan, but 80$ is a lot for a college student D: Thanks for the information though!

Well I can’t find any Micro SD WiFi cards for sale. Any one have one yet?

Wow. this idea is still alive. I have the Black Jack first series, and I would have thought for sure that the BlackJack II would have come with WIFI support built-in. Now Samsung either ran out of space (which with ALL of the other buttons / and communication options) I find hard to belive.
OR built-in WIFI was left out intentionally so that you would be forced to be dependant on either ATT EDGE or 3G data network.

So I really have to ask: Do you really think they will manufacture this card? I seriously have my doubts. Last time I googled Micro SD Wifi cards (09/07) this site, and articles referencing this compahy were there only hits. (maybe things have changed)
I had to lay my bets, I’d call this a red herring idea.

Just heard from them last week. Apparently there will be several more months of delays to get the Spectec microsd wi-fi card. Oh well.

WHICH WIFI IS BEST FOR AN IPHONE OR P168+?
HOW MANY GB OF MEMORY DOES IT HOLD?

So, will this card have extra memory on it too or do we have to sacrafice memory for wifi?

AdventureMom, can you point us to a product page? Your link goes to the shopping cart at buygpsnow.com. Also, we’re looking for the Spectec MicroSD Wi-Fi card, model number SDW-823. Searching at buygpsnow shows no results. They have MiniSD and SD wi-fi, but not MicroSD. Thanks! -bill

Hi all! mine just arrived in the mail yesterday from Spectec ($80 !!)
I installed it in my BJ (original)connected it to my pc and loaded the cd that came with the card.
there are 6 drivers listed on the disk. the BJ says not supported and cannot install to 5 of the drivers. But low and behold, the very last one i picked, installed the drivers. NOW, the only question is: How do i get WM6 to actually use it? nothing is listed under wireless connections.

would this work with a nokia 5230?

Please do you guys know of other companies that produce wi-fi micro SD cards

i have a blackberry storm 9500 any one thinks it will work on it

you easily get this micro sd card as online and at your nearest mobile stores. This card is available at globe. Even i have also bough this card two weeks ago which managed to fit 2Gig inside of it.
