Title: Group Buy On Symbol 802.11b?
Post by: ran on December 17, 2004, 07:02:55 pm
There's a surplus dealer on ebay offering two lots of new Symbol 802.11b cards at "Buy it now" prices of $400 for 25 (ends Sunday),  or $200 for 10 (ends Tuesday).

Shipping from the seller is included,  so they'd wind up costing about $20-25 each,  including Priority Mail within the U.S.

Based on what I've read,  that's a really good price for what seems to be a good card.

If enough people sign up,  I'll go ahead and buy one of the lots and parcel them out.

One word of warning:  because of holiday shipping delays,  they might not arrive here until after Christmas.  Since I'll be leaving town on the 27th or 28th for about 10 days,  there's a good chance you wouldn't get yours until about the 10th or 12th of January.

I had a DLink DCF-660W cf card. Range sucked and the battery drained on my C860 in about 1.5 hours.

I accidently won an auction on ebay for the above card. Range is bloody fantastic. Have not yet had time to get a feeling for power drain. Card is also smaller and thinner than my last card.

I would highly recommend it. I will add that both cards worked fine on pdaXrom (tested on RC5).

Nevermind:  the seller cancelled the auctions not long after I posted
