Recommend CF modem card for x50?

hoagiebait · 01-29-08, 11:08 AM

I just bought a X50 that had A01, and Windows2003e2 and am about to install the latest update from Dell. This forum has been more than awesome getting me up and going. BUT.....

My Axim X50 has blue tooth, but doesn't seem to have the internal modem. I haven't seen any recommendations for CF modem cards for the X50. Unless, that is, the same cards recommended for the X51 will work for the X50 - which I haven't been able to discern.

Any recommendations or guidance? Thanks:):)

There is a CF modem that Radio Shack used to make, It's almost impossible to find now, but I have one for my X51v, and it works perfectly, even if it is dailup. Amazon.com has a version as well, found Here: Amazon.com: Pretec 56k Compact Flash Modem for PDA/ Pocket PC & portable devices w/ CF slot: Electronics

Thank you for that tip UNIT ZERO. I wonder, though, which - if any - WI-FI cards will work for the X50??

I bought the ambitech wlan sdio sd card and it has worked like a sharm (charm).

They do make wifi CF & SD cards that should work. Here are a couple of links but I would recommend the socket one.
