Dear JJ,

Just to give you an idea.
You may try to contact us on mid. of Sep.

When is this Q3, for you? I think fiscal Q3 is already over, although calendar Q3 would end next month. I'm planning to get a vogue, so I'm kind of itching to get wifi for it.
BTW...
Thanks for your responses...

Dear JJ,

Thank you for getting back. Yes, it sounds like HTC Vogue compatible with our microSDIO WiFi card per the spec that I found from this link:
http://www.mobilewhack.com/htc-vogue-100-coming-soon/

Just keep in mind, all our WiFi cards were programmed to work with SDIO enabled handhled devices running Windows OS. For HTC Vogue is with microSDIO expansion slot, running WM6.0, it should work with our coming microSDIO WiFi card SDW-823.

Do you happen to know if it will work with the cdma version of the htc vogue (alltel touch)? I think the specs say that it will work with microsdio. It will have windows mobile 6.1.

Dear Mr. Joshua Jackson,

Thank you for the mail, informing your interest in purchasing a microSDIO WiFi card #SDW-823.
The microSDIO WiFi card is still undergo. It's schedule has been postponed a little bit longer than expection because we have more intense and urgent cases to run currently. Please don't worry, it won't be late than Q3 this year, per our existing schedule. I appreciate your further patience waiting for the world only microSDIO WiFi card #SDW-823.

I have attached the latest DM along, see if you feel interested in any other product besides the microSDIO WiFi card.

Hello...
I am wondering if the sdw-823 has been released. I haven't been able to find it online, yet (even on expansys-usa.com which has the 820/821/822/825).

honestly a micro sd wifi.... even if it works how good of a connection will it be unless you have a seperate antenna for it? It cant take advantage of any built in antenna so the antenna would be what... a centimeter long maybe 2?

[imdarkside]

If it sticks out where you cant place the cover back on it will be of minimal value. Of course you can not use flash with it so it would have to be swapped out when you need your flash. Can the usb port not be used for a wifi antenae? That seems to me to be the most logical answer to this need.

if you want wifi hold off on the touch. does the diamond have wifi?

[Fa310tx]

The usb is an interesting option. Do people have drivers, though?

that was my earlier fishing for wifii. have not found a dongle (if that is right term) to plug into the usb port. but now that you mention it, it seems simple if the drivers could be created. thats above my pay grade but maybe a nice project for the techies. seems simple to plug in a wifi usb antenae to the phone (using adaptors that are easy to find) and then having wifi through the usb. saw a thread some time ago here or on xda that looked at the circuitry of the usb and from my recollection there may be weakness in the usb circuitry that will disallow this. still its one of my peaves with this phone. free wifi is god given right.

I dont have the link on-hand, but a Taiwanese company makes a nifty MicroSD -> SD card adapter dongle. There's a distributor in North America and I managed to get my hands on one (its like $25-$35). So far I've been sucessfull reading a full size SD card on the MicroSD slot, now all I need is a full size SDIO WiFi card to test it

[imdarkside]

I assume you read the sd card with the back cover off?

[iparadox]

Nope, the dongle ribbon cable is thin enough to squeeze between the side cover. Its thin as a piece of paper. Still havent found an SDIO Wifi card I could test yet though...

You can get these through the North American distributor at http://www.ameri-rack.com (just send the sales an email for the PA-TFC1 adapter). Costs $29.35 + $2.50 shipping to Canada.
