If they release the drivers for the phone then chances are very good that it should work...
Please indulge the technically challenged.

ASSUMING this would work, drivers and all, what does this mean in terms of phone capabilities? Would it be possible to use with Bluetooth?

If there is a Bluetooth Capable device to fit the slot as well as a Bluetooth driver and capable programs.

THEN yes.


I sadly just learned that the MPX200 isnt Bluetooth because I was preparing to give it to my wife but now looks like shes getting the V600 when I get the MPX220

SyChip has confirmed to infoSync that it is developing drivers so that its Wi-Fi SDIO cards will work in Windows Mobile for Smartphone 2003 devices. Although still in beta at the moment, SyChip expects the drivers to be completed in January. SyChip does not sell its own Wi-Fi cards, however, SanDisk and Socket both sell Wi-Fi cards that are essentially rebranded SyChip cards and SyChip will provide the new driver to both companies to distribute to users.

The new drivers work only with dedicated Wi-Fi SDIO cards, not with the company's dual-function cards that also include flash storage capacity. SyChip says that is due to a limitation of the firmware used by many handset manufacturers, but can be addressed with a firmware upgrade. The driver also requires the smartphone to be unlocked. Many US carriers lock phones specifically to their network to keep users from switching networks, which has the side effect of preventing the installation of new drivers.

okay, so we know there is a driver for the SyChip cards now, but may it work with the newer (smaller and cheaper) sdio wifi cards, too?

What driver are you referring to? The only wifi driver I have seen is the Socket driver for the Sagem my-s7 Smartphone. There is the miniSD wifi card by Spectec, but they don't have drivers that work with any Smartphones yet. I went to the SyChip website, and they do have pictures of Smartphones on the homepage, but I couldn't find any drivers anywhere. Nor have I read of anyone using their cards successfully in a Smartphone. I would love to try it out in my E200 if it is supposed to work.

For bluetooth you can also use a Jabra headset with the Jabra 210 adapter for non bluetooth phones. You will just need a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter from Radioshack.

I received my Jabra 210 yesterday. You do not need an adapter. The plub on the adapter is a mini plug (2.5) which works perfectly with the MPX200. It is great to be alble to use my Jabra 250 with my MPX220 in my car. This is a wonderful solution to the bluetooth issue with this phone. You may by the adapter on Ebay. The Jabra 210 cost me $36.53, $41.53 including shipping.

That is a good solution for using a headset. Just a note though, it doesn't work for other BT profiles, only headsets.

I don't know if anybody is paying attention to this topic anymore, or even cares, but I found something recent, and I am planning on trying it. Here is a quote from a post, by a guy named Roswell Greens, that I found at gsmarena.com:

"NOTE for the non-believers... this phone DOES support WIFI cards on its very much WEIRD SD/MMC slot... I tested a few that didnt work at all but amazingly the Kodak SDIO WIFI adapter works like a charm (it came with a KODAK cam my wife gave to me as a gift)"

I think I will do the requisite upgrade to 2003 and try it out. Really. I will post my results. Or, if no one cares anymore, just tell me to shut up. wink.gif

That's very interesting. I'd like to hear your results. I don't see how the card could make a differnce without having the drivers though.

I'd be very interested to hear your results too! I have a friend I could pass my ol'200 along to. If it could do the WIFI trick that'd be awesome. I already have the Jabra BT adapter and 2003 installed on it. <fingers crossed it works!>

Of all the searching of topics I have done, I haven't seen one person actually say they tried it. I have a bid in for a kodak wifi card on eBay as I speak. Er, type. Supposedly kodak only made one model of this adapter. That helped narrowing it down. smile.gif

There is some question about that the Sandisk WiFi card may work, I have never tried it myself but there are some drivers out there for the Viewsonic PDA which has the same type of SD slot as the MPx200.

To the best of my knowledge Viewsonic has two different drivers listed on their site that enables the Sandisk WiFi card to work with a couple of their PDAs.

I had a Viewsonic model 37 a long time ago and it was not easy but I finally managed to get the Sandisk card working in that unit.

I finally got the card, just need some time to try to set it up. And maybe some luck. Thanks for the Viewsonic driver info, ardec1. Every bit is appreciated.
