Anyone found a gprs cellular data phone card that works with ipaq 5555?
My T-Mobile Novatel Merlin G100 card locks the Ipaq 5555 up, requiring a soft reset. The Sierra Wireless Aircards reportedly don't work, either.
Thanks,

On the subject of bluetooth phone vs. card -- is there any practical difference in upload speeds from a class 10 device (4 channels down, 2 up) versus a class 8 device (4+1)?
I saw the Audiovox CF gprs card, which will supposedly work on ppc2003, but I think I remember the specs saying its 4+1.
I need maximum upload speed for sending jpegs to an ftp site. Are any of the bluetooth phones as fast as my Merlin card? (class 10) (which isn't really very fast.. 14.4 to 19.2 maybe with a tail wind, but that's better than 9600.)
Regarding bluetooth on the Ipaq 5550 with the t68i....
Once you've got things set up the first time, do you have to do anything beyond hitting 'connect' on your ipaq to use the bluetooth internet connection? Do you have to touch your phone at all in order to connect, or can your phone stay docilely at the bottom of your bag while you use your Ipaq? Do you have to set up the connection each time you power up the phone or does it remember how to do it from one day to the next? In other words, can I pull the phone from the charger, turn it on and toss it in the briefcase, and forget it, but have it ready to connect instantly without messing with it each time?
Don't have to touch the phone. Once set up, all works from iPAQ. I use it daily.... 5555 and T68i with TMobile... and previously 5455 with same. Works great.
