Well I'm all suer happy now that I finally got a new laptop and a wireless connection in my house. Anyhow, I was wondering if one could use one of those SD/WIFI cards that SanDisk makes to access the internet connection in my house? I mean that'd be cool. If not I'll save the 4-5 or 6 hundred dollars (I'm not spending more than 6 hundred) on the new MPX220. I have a Toshiba Bluetooth card I've had for a year but never used. Be a good reason to break it in. Maybe I can figure out how to access the net (a dial-up ISP) from the cell phone? I've heard you can't but I'm sure there's an unlimited internet access option offered for the EDGE service by AT&T. Well hope you guys can help.
Thanx

i think it's not possible so far... i've read that although the mpx200 has the sd card slot.. the problem is in the sd+wifi card, which doesn't happen to hav the drivers for that phone, i think i read that mpx220 doesn``t have support right now (same reason). Hopefully thereīll be a card that makes it happen! not sure though, coz i think motorola is just reserving wifi 4 the mpx only

The MPX220 has a mini-sd card slot not a standard sd card. And while the processor of the 220 is capable of wifi there has not yet been a mini-sd wifi card created.........yet? Search for mini-sd cards and you will see the difference.

the mpx220 has a mini SD card, no SDIO support and does not function with EDGE.
i guess 3 out of 3 strikes means you wont be spending that $600.
peace,

Have you tried loading the software or flex from a mpx220 on it? this could help a lot if we can find out to try. motclub hasnt posted one yet so we need to sniff one out to try.

Doah! I removed my post. 
But that still sucks. Is there going to be enough of a market of phones w/ miniSD on the side to make it worth designing a miniSD WiFi card?

The location may be different for the memory card. But the chipset may still be same as it usaully is in a series. Here is what I could pull up on flashing the mpx200, hopefully the instructions will work on the whole mpx series as the usaully do for any series. This should help us in our quest to modding our phones. im not here very often so please feel free to email me at webmaster@studio505.net
