Hi All,

I'm considering getting an XDA2 (actually on orange so it will be the SPV M1000 or whatever they call it)

A few questions:

1) Does the XDA2 have a CF slot ? The O2 & Orange website don't state what types of card it supports.

2) If it doesn't have CF, how easy & cheap is it to have wireless networking? (not via BT)

3) Lastly, because the M1000 & the XDA2 both appear to be the same device could I install a UK O2 rom if the Orange one is lousy ?

Thanks
Neil

1: no CF slot but you can buy an addon back pack with built in CF slot

2: it used SD/MMC and SDIO so you can buy a SDio wifi card to use :)

3: yes you can put the o2 rom on but is there any need? lol

Thanks Gaz,

Real shame about no CF though :( I'm thinking I might stick with the Ipaq 4150 and just get a small mobile.

Cheers for the info
Neil

Why would you want CF ?

If its just for wifi then you can buy an SD wifi card (known as an SDIO card) much much smaller than CF

thanks ! :roll:

CF stuff seems a lot cheaper than SDIO (ie. SDIO wifi looks to be around £80 whereas CF Wifi can be had for £30)
Also CF seems to have a lot more choice of available cards.
