Bluetooth
-
I'm still in my quest for the perfect windows mobile device. I have found some good (and cheap) devices, but without wi-fi. This is a requeriment, because the devices need to connect to servers. But, the major part of devices supports Bluetooth. I don't know about Bluetooth to compare, then, here are my questions: (1) Bluetooth can be a replacement to wi-fi in matter of communication between a software in the device with a centralized server? (2) There are anything that I can "plug" in the smartphone to enable wi-fi communication? The models that I'm looking in the moment are: [wi-fi] Palm Treo 700w[^] Qtek 9100[^] [/wi-fi] [not wi-fi] Motorola Moto Q/[^] Samsung SGH-i320N[^] [/not wi-fi]

AFAIK, No to this too. Wi-Fi is nothing but wireless lan. The device is not a computer, after all. Where are you planning to 'plug' that anything in the smartphone? :) [edit] Additinally, visit GSM Arena (New window) [/edit]

Thanks, Brahmma. Where is Microsoft when we need that it start a more aggressive politic of world domination better support of mobile device vendors? :^)

Actually if the phone has an SD slot you might be able to get an SDIO 802.11b adapter running on it.

Are you saying that you want smart phones with friggin' laser beams attached to them? :) That reminds me, I need to see if I can find the Austin Powers' triliogy cheap somewhere. I miss those movies.

:omg: Amazing! But usually the SD slot is occupied with a memory card (well in most of the cases). And will there be compatibility issues? How well would it perform? I think if I were taking one, I would consider a phone with inbuilt WLAN, rather than plugging in an SDIO adapter.

Definitely. I only know about them because I remember looking for a wifi adapter for my old PPC a couple years back. Never got one so I couldn't tell you how well (if at all) they work. My new Axim has SD/MMC/CF + WiFi all in one :)
Found on Bash.org [erno] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

Bluetooth is intended to be utilized for Personal Area Networks (PANs) with a connectivity range of about 10 meters. Most devices that utilize it also contain a PCMCIA slot that can contain a WiFi device. Another option is also offered that uses a memory card interface, and I think that's probably going to become the dominant interface in the market.

My boss has a wi-fi SD card plugged-in to his Treo 700wx that works great for him (although looks a little funny). I have a data plan for my 700wx and I just let it connect using the cellular. I cannot connect to the network, but I'm almost never in the office and at home I can plug it into my notebook, so it's not that big of a deal.
