Also these days a data plan is pretty much required.

HTC Touch does not have wifi. It doesn't matter what carrier your touch is from. If you want wifi enabled phone then buy another phone.

Any updates on using the SDW-823 on the Verizon XV6900? I bought the card myself, and have emailed Spectec for help but I have received nothing. And after googling nearly every page about the topic I still cannot find any solutions. Does anyone have anything?

I didn't see anyone mention this, so forgive if I missed anything in this thread; however, I think the point of your question was to be able to access internet untethered by cables. If you do a USB Sync, you can connect to the internet, but that significantly diminishes your ability to access idrudgereport.com while occupied on the throne. I know, tmi.

Anyway, to connect through ActiveSync on XP, Vista, etc., wirelessly, simply do so via Bluetooth connection.

For a step-by-step in doing this, check out this link: http://www.smartdevicefreeware.com/h...ing-bluetooth/

Granted, this is with an XP box. Here's an exhaustive step-by-step for Vista for connecting your mobile device that includes using Bluetooth: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...8WS.10%29.aspx

See, there ya go. Something useful could come out of boredom. Hurrah. lol

Now I'm working on getting their Vogue to do GPS. With less confidence than the Bluetooth setup, but ah well.

Okay so I recently ordered a Touch for 10 bucks. Seemed like a good deal and the kicker is I don't need a data plan. I saw the microSD wifi adapter and jumped all over it. However the site seems to be down. Any ideas on how to get by this or order from somewhere else? Anybody got wifi working on the touch? And if not I have a bluetooth dongle for my PC so I can access the internet on my phone over bluetooth correct?
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks
