Anyone use microSD Wifi on Touch?
 
I'm very intrigued by the Touch, but the lack of Wifi is a killer for me. I see there are now some MicroSD Wifi cards available. Has anyone used one of these with the Touch? I'm curious if the O/S can handle these.

Any insights?

i don't think we will ever know unless the company puts the item onthe market to sell. From what I've read, Spectec has been mentioning that it will be out soon since last year. i too wouldn't mind buying one to test it out.

wow, i didn't realize they made such a beast yet... that's one TINY card!

joemike60 11-29-2007 04:06 PM

Anyone try the micro SD with wifi?

sheureka 12-20-2007 10:48 PM
I can't even visualize how those would work on the Touch. I know it sticks out of a regular slot so would the whole side of the phone and the back have to be left off to use it? That would be weird. - sheureka

I would call them to find out its actually in stock. May be a "pre-sale"

ok lets say, Yes you can buy it, yes it fits in the phone with no case issues (LAME ASS BACKWARDS DOOR FOR THE SD CARD!!!!)... The first thing to know, is does it need drivers? do they make them for windows mobile? and is this like sdio? does it have to be microsdio?

I bought one of these Spectec Wifi cards for my old 6600, SD size.

One of the worst pieces of junk I ever bought. Their drivers completely messed up the phone and required a hard reset to resolve. It caused DSOD. Even after multiple firmware releases, it was never stable.

I can't imagine how poorly a device with that small an antenna would work (given how badly the SD one worked), not mention how stupid it would be sticking out the side of a touch even if you do manage to get it in their.

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.

B. Regards,
Thelma
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.

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?

Re: Anyone use microSD Wifi on Touch?
 
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?

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

Re: Anyone use microSD Wifi on Touch?
 
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 :)

Re: Anyone use microSD Wifi on Touch?
 
I assume you read the sd card with the back cover off?

iparadox 11-25-2008 11:46 PM
Re: Anyone use microSD Wifi on Touch?
 
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.

I bought this dongle, I cant get it to work on my sprint touch, the phone does not seem to recognize it. how didyou get it to work to read a sd card?

Re: Anyone use microSD Wifi on Touch?
 
It just worked without any changes...it shouldn't need any as SD cards are all backward compatible...

I still haven't found an SD Wifi card to try yet :(
