Hi,

I've got a Jordana palmtop machine and a 3G card from T-Mobile (which
works well with my laptop). Can I use the card with my Jordana palmtop?

Not sure what the model number of the Jordana is, but it's colour, has
a normal keyboard and has a PCMCIA slot (which I've used a wireless NIC
in.

Nick

The Jornada Handhelp PC (uses sh3 processor) has a PCMCIA slot.

There are two types of card. PCMCIA (older) do NOT have a metal strip
across the end
connector. CardBus cards (newer) have a metal strip across the end.

On the T Mobile web site I can see that there is a metal strip on the
card, making it
CardBus, not PCMCIA, so afraid not.

In the vodafone shop, I asked them to look at the card, and they said
it didn't have
a metal strip, making it PCMCIA.

Unfortunately, on both, because the driver and software and driver are
PC, and your
jornada is a strange architecture (sh3), it would not work regardless.
The only PCMCIA
cards supported on Jornada are ne2000 ethernet, standard modem and wifi
cards such as
Lucent with the Lucent Windows SE 2.11 drivers. Getting Wifi work is
pretty good I think,
but you would be hard pressed to get the browser version towards 6 for
usefullness.

Overcharge my contract for Fair Use of Instant Messaging if I'm wrong.
