I need a SDIO CARD!

My husband purchased a axim x51 from Dell in december for me for Christmas, The guy from dell told him it had bluetooth and wi-fi and it only has bluetooth, so now dell tells me I need a network card and apologizes for the other guy. The new guy at dell sent me to this site. Does anyone know where to get a network card for an axim X51 w/ windows mobile 5? I'm getting very frustrated!

Look around the forums here to purchase one, the classified section is a good place to start.

Ebay also works:

(Mods, please remove if the ebay link above is not allowed. I was merely posting it to show coloritall the general idea)

If the mods remove the above ebay link, Just go to ebay and search for
SD Wifi Card

It doesn't have to be an SD card. A CF wifi card will also work and may be cheaper and easier to find:

The most important thing is that you find one with WM5 drivers.

BTW, welcome to Aximsite!

A Frau hey?

One day men will really read the fine print. Heck, I even asked for directions when I was in Providence RI a few weeks ago with my S/O.

Anyway... Yeah CF Wi-fi is cheaper and has a bigger antenna .
It's a guy thing, but in this case it's true. :)

I'm pretty sure with the X51 you can only use an SDIO wifi card. atleast it says you need an SDIO card in the book for mine.

It all depends on the drivers. If they're WM5 compatible then your golden.
