Hi folks,
Does anyone have any info about sites that are selling these? Sandisk website has been updated with this product in their product line.
Cheers!

In the Netherlands there is a shop, where you can put in pre-order. A few weeks ago, the owner told me it should be here this month. Maybe you can try it there.
LINK TO THE DUTCH WEBSHOP
Good luck
ps, if you somehow be able to purchase one, can you please post your experience with this card? I'm thinking to buy one too... :lol: [/url]
I wrote a review of this card a few weeks ago, and it should appear at US retailers in the next week or two, I'm told. Not sure about overseas.
I've used it with my XDA II and it works well.
From what I've heard, you need Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition to support this card; does this mean you have SE for your XDA II?
-e
WM2003 SE is most definitely not required for the card.
I tested it in a variety of WM2003 PPCs and it worked fine. At the end of last year, SanDisk had the drivers working for SE but since have developed drivers for pre-SE versions of the OS.
There wouldn't be any point in releasing the card now if it only supported SE since the Dell X30 line are the only SE devices and two out of three come with integrated WiFi.
I have this Sandisk SD Card with 256Mb and WiFi, she doesn't work on my SPV M1000/Qtek 2020 1.66 FRA. It's impossible to format the SD card and the WiFi don't work.
Do you have any idea ?
Sandisk WIFI + 256 same problem here
i can't adress the 256 Storage.... and WIFI isn't working.
I did try different ROM's ....
Does anybody know how to solve this problem ???
Well, I certainly cannot help you but I can confirm the problems.
I have a MDA 2 mysqlf and running with the 1.72 firmware.
For users who are considering about buying the card, this is what I send to the sandisk support:
After having installed the card according to your instructions and having done a soft-reset I finally plugged in the card.
I am always asked whether to format the storage card.
Even if it is formatted I am not able to access the card (as storage card).
Every time I select the AP Browser the device freezes.
Even when I turn off radio mode the green light blinks and wifi is not turned off!
Sometimes the device freezes if I go to any tab of the configuration utility.
Selecting SanDisk Wi-Fi from Settings->Connections I sometimes see the message "Card not found" but the card is definitely inserted and even blinks.
Finally I am therefore not able to use the card neither as storage nor as wifi-card.

I the same problem exactly, can you have keep us informed of the response of the support?
By using the drivers for PPC 2002 (It's strange !!!), there is a small improvement since the WiFi is finally detectable! But the 256 Storage doesn't work
Detectable - but not that useable it should be.
Please keep in mind it will definitely help if other users/owners of this card write to Sandisk. They won't care much about our issues if only a single solemn user describes it to them but it will slightly increase the pressure if every one contacts them!
(Up to now no answer from Sandisk.)
I also wrote to the technical support for this problem...
You can buy that card in Germany (they're also shipping into thw whole EU) at Reichelt: http://www.reichelt.de.
Back to the problems: Have you noticed it? At the top of PPC 2002 drivers you can read "SanDisk... SD Card" where using PPC 2003 drivers you have to wonder about "SanDisk... CF Card"!
Finally, PPC 2002 drivers do detect the card as written above but it takes an unlimited amount of time activating radio (unsuccessfully). And please notice your SDBusDriver.dll is overwritten with one which may not be suitable for the device (else Qtek would have it delivered, not SanDis).
(Short: The utility does not freeze but you can't use the card anyway.)
This SD isn't compatible with the Qtek !!!

Unfortunately due to hardware limitations with your device the sd wifi 256mb will not work.

I am somewhat angry. They have explicitely listed the mda 2 in their compatibility charts!
SanDisk Response: (07/22/2004 10:29)
Unfortunately due to hardware limitation, the MDA II is not supported on the SD WIFI 256MB card. The single function one will work fine.

SAN Disk Answer for compatibility
Your Response:
...
http://www.sandisk.com/consumer/download/sdwifi/sdwifi_compatability_list.htm My device is a PDA of the 'xda II, mda II, i-mate (HTC)' type, as the mda II is the T-Mobile MDA2 (aka HTC Himalaya - look at www.xda-developers.com). So is there any chance of making the sandisk device work proper?
SanDisk Response:
Unfortunately, we are talking about 2 different devices.
The compatibility list you have mentioned is for SD WIFI CARD (no memory). The SD WIFI 256MB card is not compatible with your device.
Remark:
no memory = SDWSDB-000-E10, 256MB = SDWSDB-256-E10
hope that helps
Thanks, Clemens.
Here are some more details I received:
The dual function card will not work in the XDA due to luck of Custom Bus driver in the unit.

Well then, does anyone know how to recover the overwritten files? (SDBus*.dll) After having previously made a hard-reset I have not been able to find them (with Resco File Explorer and by Active Sync) and now another hard-reset would not be that funny.
Or, can anyone provide the original files for the others?
Same problem.....

Unfortunately, due to hardware limitation with the MDA II the card will not work.

Your Response: (07/23/2004 09:59)
Thanks for your answer, before I ordered the card, I've successfully tested the MDAII with your Wi-Fi SD Card (the one without memory) and it worked fine. The MDA II has the same hardware as the HTC Himalaya. Is it possible to do a software/firmware update, or is it a real "HARDWARE"-problem?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SanDisk Response: (07/23/2004 03:05)
Due to lack of Custom Bus Driver in the unit the card will not work properly. More likely there will be need for a firmware update by the manufacturer of your unit.

Your Response: (07/23/2004 03:07)
Thanks, Finaly I have to return the WiFi -Card to the reseller where i bought it, I also tried the newest firmware (version 1.72 HTC Himalaya) and a second PDA-device with no success.... How can I be absolutely sure that the sd-card is 100% OK and has no defect?

SanDisk Response: (07/24/2004 08:52)
Are you refering to the SD CARD or SD WIFI 256MB CARD.
Okay or not the sd wifi 256mb card would not work in your unit.
Sorry not to come up with a solution, but you might take comfort from knowing that there are lots of posters who have had problems with their Sandisdk SD wifi card, me included. I'm at the end of my tether.
I am perservering with Sandisk tech support for now.
There are some useful posts if you search around with things to try to get it working, and some people seem to have had success.

The following device are compatible:
IPAQ 1935 / 1945/ 2200 / 5555 / 5455 /
VIEWSONIC V36 /37
DELL AXIM X3 / X30
HITACHI G1000
AUDIOVOX PPC4100
The list may increase as we continue to test more devices.
Is it possible to use the SDHC driver from VOX platform on Tornado? I guess the question is whether they share the same SD hardware?
Thanks.
Has anyone tried whether SDHC works with any of the latest WM6 releases? Didn't read no posts in that direction...
Would sure be sweet to get SDHC running on the Tornado. In fact, the option to use HC is what's pushing me towards buying a new device since I'm using my phone (C600) as a digital audio player every day.
Its a no go so far
I just tried (i have 2x4gb miniSDhc cards) and Tornado with WM6 v6 does not see any card installed :-/
Thanks for the info man! To bad it doesn't work yet.
Dear members
I would like to know from you if you have ever tried your hands on atom life with 8gb microsd[minisd adaptor]. I just bought an atom life & wish to know if it is possible to use this card. I have upgraded to WM6.1 PDAViet but don't know if that really going to work with an 8gb card. I heard now there is a support for more than 2gb so plz confirm if there are any issues involved.
Regards
Saksham
There is a SDHC card patch avaliable for WM5 and WM6. Not sure if it work on WM6.1. Basically what this patch does is that it allows Windows Mobile to recognize SDHC memory cards.
I have the patch installed on my KS20, but i am only using 1 GB memory card, so can't confirm if it works for me. However, people report that it works. I've had no problems so far, everything is perfectly fine. My phone functions normally with the patch installed.
I am sorry that i can't confirm whether the patch will work on WM6.1, perhaps an expert can help you.
And before i forget, here is the link to the patch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344338&highlight=SDHC
so nice of you my friend. it seems it does going to work. will report back with my experience.
Hi,
I bought a 4GB mini SD-Card from amazon. Now I realize, that it doesn't work
with my Pocket PC (Qtek 9100). During being in despair and searching for a soulution I read ofttimes that it is possible to use it, if I install a SDHC-driver or by installing WM6. I'm unfortunately an absoulute beginner without knowing what to do next. Any ideas what can I do to solve this problem? I have a HTC Qtek 9100. Thanks for your help!
greetings,

If it is an SDHC card you are probably on a lost cause. The Qtek 9100 was in production before the SDHC spec and cards appeared (June 2006). The price of relentless progress I am afraid.
What a pity!
You know if the are 4GB-cards, which I can use for my PPC ?
SDHC cards won't work. Some SD cards > 1Gb may work, it depends on the build date of your phone. Sorry I can't be more specific. More over at this thread. :-

A trial and error approach my be safest. Beg, borrow or steal a card to try it out, and if successful, try to track down the exact same item.
Good luck!
Hi recently got muself a qtek 9000, i have searched on the forum about running it with 8 gig sdhc micro card and tryed various patches but i have got none of them to work, is there anywhone who have got it to work with 8 gig?

so what you mean is that it is possible? what is this Tomal rom they are talking about? as i said i am green !
I have a Qtek 9000 with Tomal 8.9 Rom.
I´m using a transcend 16 GB sdhc card without any problems.
with WM5 you need a special driver to run sdhc cards.
