but i dont know if it works with any of the Pocket Pc's i want. Can anyone tell me if any of the keyboard like that one are for sale at www.amazon.com ? Im getting my PPC at somewhere alse but thet place does not sell accesories. So i am wondering if any of they keyboards the sell for PPC at amazon are able to link up with any of the pda i want that is NOT wireless. A friend told me to NEVER get a wireless keyboard he says that they are not good. Plus i went to a CompUSA and the man there told me that wireless keyboards were hard to use and sometimes you were confused and sometimes the signal did not get through so i want one that links up to any of the PPC up there. Please Awnser soon.

PS: if i forget anything ill add it by editing this.


*EDIT*

I found out about the wireless information and everything. I found some companys that sell services. I dont know if any of them work with this co-or dinance. I live in The Caribean, Puerto Rico, Naranjito (i live bettween Barranquitas and Naranjito) but the school is in naranjito. The school is 1.3 miles away or so. I would say that about 1 to 2 miles or maybe 3 miles away tops. My school is: S.U. Predro Fernandez. Help me find a service. Or maybe a object i can connect to my pc to send the signal to my PPC any help is appreciated :P.

i love my 4155
and if it doesnt have integrated wifi 11b, youll need to get a card for that.
the 4155 does have it so its a complete package.

imo i have just found that it pays to get as nice of a "toy" as you can afford. because if you dont, youll regret it in 4 months.
my 4155 was 450 when i bought it. and i himmed and hawwed over it for a few days and finally decided to do it and ive been pleased every since.

I have the 4150 and love it. Very compact and full of features, I use the wireless alot, but I've never used the bluetooth. Although I am planning on getting a bluetooth GPS adaptor so I can use the iPAQ for Satalite Navigation.

Battery life is general good but once you turn on the WiFi it tends to run out quite quickly 2-3 hours I would say.

Where are you planning on using the internet. I mainly use mine at home, sat in the garden or watching TV. I use a wireless router in the house connected to by cable broadband service. It only works around the house though if I stray to far away I loose the signal.

If you want to be using it whilst out and about between home and school you may need to look at using the bluetooth with a bluetooth mobile phone to dial the internet.

Hmmm please please please look heres the PPC http://www.usedhandhelds.com/nustore/product.asp?cookiecheck=yes&numPageStartPosition=7&strPageHistory=&strKeywords=&strSearchCriteria=&PT_ID=51&P_ID=236 what do i need to get to use internet on it? tell me please!!! I want to use internet. I asked my neightbour who know about this town and the distance and he says that theres a distance of about 400-450 meters. so where can i get something that goes as far as at leas about 500 or 600 meters? tell me!?!?!?!??!? If thats not how i can get it to work then tell me a service provider so i can get a monthly service! please!! my cell-phone is Verizon Wireless, Nokia. Im getting a new one soon. Is there any way to use my verizon wireless number with the PPC? Or can you tell me of service providers. Or atleast expalin what i need with that bluetooth thing to work and use internet.

As I said I have never used the bluetooth so I've no idea what is involved in hooking it up to your mobile phone. In the UK I know it would probably work out an expensive option due to the costs involved in accessing the net through the mobile phone network.

If all you want to do is access the net at home then a wireless router will do you. Do they have wireless in your school ? If so you would maybe be able to connect via that when your at school, although I would think the school would set up security on the network to prevent it. BTW the range of wifi is only short about 300 ft about 90 meter's

If you have the 4150 now, download a program called WiFiFoFum and turn on the wireless and go for a walk, it will log all the networks it finds. That should give you an idea of what access points are in your area. Some of these will have security set up so your can't use them but I have found quite a few where I live where I can borrow their internet. But this may be a short lived thing as people wise up to the risks of running wireless networks.
