Try www.socketcom.com for a good sdio wireless card. They have links to help you locate suppliers close to you. I have the sdio card that has WM 5.0 as well as older drivers available on site.

good luck...

Take a look on Ebay, CF cards can be obtained from $30 upwards.

Just make sure they are supplied with a suitable driver for the OS on your PDA.

Unless you have upgraded to WM5, in which case Socket is as suggested the best option

no i haven't upgraded yet. Since there seems to be problems with WM5, I'm going to hang onto 2003SE for awhile. How good is this card:

SANDISK WI-FI 128MB WIFI COMPACT FLASH Wireless Card

Just saw it on ebay.

Probably OK, but personally I would keep clear of combined WIFi memory cards as their have been problems with these in the past, especially this particular one.

The Sandisk WiFi 128 gave many people problems when they installed in their X5, either the memory could not be accessed or the WiFi would not work.

I'd suggest a straight WiFi CF card is a better option, plus 128MB is a small gain in memory when you consider SD card prices at present and the fact that you do have a second slot for SD cards.
