| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Great wireless socket card if you stick with sharp rom
If you stik with a sharp rom, no problem. Stick it in, n voila, you<re wireless ready. But if you go for openzarus or other rom, be ready for headaches. | 5 | Today | Very nice CF wireless card
This is a great card. I use it with my iPaq 3950 and it provides excellent connection quality, on par with laptop PCMCIA cards. Also it does not drain my battery and seems to use almost no power when I am getting a strong signal (close to the access point).
The client software and drivers also work nicely with PocketPC 2002. I have heard it's better with PPC 2003 but haven't tried it. I did have some problems making the card work properly under Linux, but that was more than a year ago and I believe there are now community-created Linux drivers ready for this card.
The other great thing about this card is its durability. It is very compact and very sturdy solid and does not protrude very far from the device. I was never concerned about breaking it off, even with the iPaq in my pocket.
One time, I removed the Socket wireless card and stashed it in the coin pocket of my jeans. I forgot it was there, and put the jeans through the washer and dryer (both on maximum hot setting). When I pulled the jeans out of the dryer and realized the card was still in the pocket, my heart sunk. It had gotten very wet and hot. But the plastic was not warped and the labels on the card did not even come off. When I plugged it in the next day, it still worked just fine! Impressive - but don't try this at home! | 5 | Today | Zaurus Users: This is the correct card (as of 3/2004)
Zaurus users, there is an "old" and a "new" version of this card. This is the older version, which is more expensive, but works out of the box with the current Zaurus Spectrum drivers available on myzaurus.com. The new version is the WL6004, which is B00012PS8G, but does not have Zaurus driver support as of 3/6/2004. Don't buy the cheaper, newer card unless you're convinced the drivers are available at the time you read this. | 3 | Today | No customer support
It's the most expensive CF card with absolutely no customer support. After a while the CF card stopped working - no power light as if the card "burned out". I really can't tell you exactly what went wrong because it's impossible to contact someone at Socket customer support. I followed their web-site instructions but was never contacted. I'll never buy another Socket product again. | 1 | Today | Great but expensive and rebate is running slow.
If you own an AXIM X5, running Pocket PC 2003, then this is the wireless LAN card for you plus it has a low profile to boot. The Socket card can also be used on your laptop along with a generic CF to PCMCIA adapter. I am not sure how efficient it is but I can leave my AXIM on, all settings at minimum power, and connected for at least four hours. | 5 | Today | Works but not great in WM2003
It works on WM2003 but only that. It does not have any utility and Socket manual ask you to use WM2003 Zero Config. WLAN tool for PPC2002 cannot be used | 4 | Today | Excellent WLAN Card
I purchased this card for my iPaq 3955 running Pocket PC 2003. The 3955 does not have built-in support for CF cards, but the Socket WLAN card works just fine in my CF expansion pack. Although the included CD-ROM did not have the updated drivers, they are easily downloaded from Socket's web site. As soon as I downloaded and installed the software, I was up and running. I was pleasantly surprised by the speed of the connection and how quickly it detected and connected to my WLAN (running off of a Linksys wireless router). This card truly makes your Pocket PC an Internet-ready mobile handheld device, and best of all it sips power rather than draining the battery like many add-on devices. Well worth the price and a definite must-have for wireless aficionados! | 4 | Today | NOT PALM COMPATIBLE
Connects to your Microsoft Pocket PC and will not work with a Palm. If you mistakenly order, AMAZON.COM will not refund your shipping. Have a nice day. | 1 | Today | Great for power, not compatibility
I've used this card for a while now and i'd say that i like it overall. the power usage is great. the drivers have been vastly improved and now you are able to scan for networks. Those of you who are interested in wardriving should look elsewhere. If you want to use netstumbler or pocketwarrior in windows or kismet and airsnort in linux, either go for the linksys wcf12 (prism based) or lucent orinoco based pcmcia card. if you're looking to run just 802.11b and check email, stream music, browse the web, etc, this card will be perfect plus it'll save you some battery power. | 4 | Today | Good card
I bought this for use with a Zaurus SL-5x00. Works perfectly, just download the driver. I've dropped it countless times, no problem. It's a lot less bulky than a lot of other cards. | 5 | Today |
