Title: Cellular Connection With A Z?
Post by: Antikx on April 20, 2005, 05:15:54 pm

I can't remember what they are actually called, but is there a CF card that works with the Z and works like a mobile phone (and works in Canada). I'm not interested in voice, I'm only interested in data.

I guess I'm wondering if an unlocked GSM CF card that works in Canada and with the Zaurus, exists.

I don't want to carry a cell phone and a Zaurus (and use bluetooth), that's why I'm asking.

I don't have my Zaurus yet, but am starting to plan for how I'm going to use it.

Kahm? Are you using anything like that?

This should get you started.

You can also google "Audiovox RTM8000 zaurus", it will give you some interesting results, too.

I posted somthing recently about building your own gprs modem from an old clamshell phone, its the same thing except you connect it throgh the serial port of your Zaurus or if you have a C3000/1000 the usb port

apart from that everything is the same (including dialing)
