I've got a HP IPAQ 2490 and would really like to add the ability to use it as a phone. As Im currently carrying my personal mobile, work mobile AND pda.

I've seen these CF GSM adaptors but am not sure how good they are. Will it allow me to use windows mobile 5.0 phone edition? or do I have to stick with the software supplied with the device? I also get the impression it wont allow me to use the pocket pcs mic and speaker I have to use a headset plugged into the unit - which suggests the pocket pc serves as just a controller for the unit.

Anyone got / used one?

 

looked into this for my ipaq, there were reason, i didnt understand but it didnt work, was just for data and text no voice.

endded up outting the ipaq and my nokia, going for a mda vario, dont miss ugging the two about at all

 

trouble is Im stuck with my ipaq 2490 for the next 3 years. I got it on a home computing scheme with work as a way to get a 21" widescreen HD pc monitor as you have to include a form of pc in your order to qualify.

I've found the ipaq really usefull but it would just be that tad more usefull if I could use it as a phone too.
