My new job requires me to be online 24/7 "just in case" to monitor a
web site admin screen and check for email periodically. I don't want to
be tied completely to my desk, and want to be able to send/receive
email from my HP Jornada 525 if I'm out and about. I have a wireless
LAN card for it, which is fine around the house, but I'd also like to
get opinions on cellular internet services.
I thought about making pit stops at wifi hotspots and ruled that out as
impractical given the "always on" requirement for my connection.
What I've found so far that seems to me to be the best solution is the
Audiovox RTM-8000 cf card for around $200, and the $29.99 unlimited
internet-only package from T-Mobile. My understanding is that the cards
are unlocked and will work with any provider, so long as I slip in the
SIM card.
I am assured from reading the docs for the RTM-8000 card that it will
work in my Jornada (cheap, old, but gets the job done). With an adapter
it will a wo
So, if I pick up one of these RTM-8000 cards off eBay, and take it and
my PDA down to my local T-Mobile store and sign up for their internet
service, is this going to do the job? Can anyone share their
experiences with this?
