Any update to getting this working?

I hadn't checked the forums in a while, I just installed the driver onto my phone but the card is at home. I'll pop it in tonight and see what happens.

Please let us know how it works. I am very interested. Also, can you provide a real purchase link? I can't seem to locate one. Thanks.

Wouldn't this be about the same? http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page....ng&skuno=80821

I don't think that would work on a phone, where would you plug in the USB?

Just because the name of the product is listed doesn't mean it will work. See this for a reference:

You'd plug it in the usb port same place you plug in your data cable when you active sync or where you plug it in your home charger.Compact usb is the same as mini USB right? If you scroll down the page there is a compatibility chart which lists the HTC as well as many other PDA/Smartphones.

Perhaps the compact just means the adapter is small? IDK.

Wait.....Why in the heck would they be using WM5 on a Vogue? It ships with WM6. Also just because its a newer OS doesnt mean the drivers will be more compatible to run it.
Im all for free internet but why dont we just be normal people and use a data plan?

Why spend money if you dont have too? Not everyone has a data package...

The problem is you do have to....Thats the crappy part with Verizon....Im pretty sure the sprint Touch has wifi but Verizon took it out to force you on their package. Bastards lol.

Also these days a data plan is pretty much required.
