SDIO wireless card and Sprint Phones
Hello I just found out I am able to get my 150 upgrade credit with sprint and I am looking into getting a new phone. After doing a little research I found that what I am looking for is a phone with a SDIO slot (so I can plug in a 802.11 adapter). Well the only phone I have found so far that sprint has is the Motorola G9c. I don't have anything against this phone but was wondering if anyone knows of any other Sprint phones that have the SDIO slot? I know I could go with one of the palms to have built in 802.11 but they are a good 100 bucks more expensive. Any advice? Any thoughts on the G9c? Thanks in advance.

They make Micro SDIO adapters, but they are hard to find. A lot of the Palms are capable.

I would highly recommend the Palm Treo 800w over the Motorola Q9c which has been discontinued at the retail store level. The Palm Treo 800w is preinstalled with WM 6.1 whereas you'd have to do a software upgrade for the Motorola Q9c. I work for corporate Sprint in one of their retail stores and have been approximately a 35-40% exchange/return on the Motorola Q9c. Being a contract developer/beta tester for MacroHard, I can tell you the 6.1 OS is much more stable as far as errate is concerned than the 6.0 one.

This is the best possible route for wifi at this point if you're looking for wifi on a phone. If you had your heart set on SDIO, do not look at any phone with a micro sd slot. SPECTEC is suppose to have a micro sdio wifi card, but I cannot find it. The 700wx or 700p have SD slots that work great for them, the Q9 is not all that bad, but because it's manufactured by Motorola it tends to have more quirks than the regular WM rom.
