External Joystick ?!?!?

I badly wish that would work. That would be so sweet on our phones. However, I've been told that our motherboard doesn't allow the 6700 to be a usb host. So there's no hardware to apply the driver to.

Then again, I was told the same about SDHC cards. I hope this ends up being wrong as well.

Received the joypad. So far, not impressed.

- doesn't fit snugly on the phone, but this I can overlook.
- impossible to hit the right-trigger button unless you have midget hands
- driver CD doesn't have option for XV6700 (even though it's advertised as compatable)
- driver doesn't look like the screens shown in ANY of the documentation
- so far, can't scroll down the button-config screen in order to customize
(this may be due to randomly selecting other PDA drivers)


More to come as I get a chance to really put it through some paces.

That's disappointing. Sounded like a good idea. Hope you have more luck soon.

Hopefully with the newer drivers and some tweaking I can make this a more positive experience.
