1.0 out of 5 stars Will not work with IPAQ, August 6, 2001

I bought this modem at CompUSA for ..., took it home and hurriedly unpackaged it and slipped it into the unwieldy IPAQ sleeve and was ready to go. Then I got an "unrecognized CF card" error. I tried again. No dice. I did a soft reboot. No luck. I took it back to the store and tried another one out of the box. No luck. I took my IPAQ back to the other retailer (BB) and tried another CF sleeve. Then another IPAQ unit. Still no go. I called Tech Support for both Compaq and the manufacturer. Compaq made me do a hard reset (in which I lost everything).

The company that makes this item went of business March, 2001. This makes the "5 year warranty" useless. I bought one in August 2001 and quit functioning February 2002. If I had known the company was out of business, I wouldn't have purchased it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great little gadget, September 22, 2001

It is amazing how this product works so well every time with my HP Jornada 548. I use it every day to access the web and check my email fast and reliable at work or away from my desktop PC. Just plug it into the CF slot and you are ready to go because it's hot swapable. I didn't give it 5 starts because even when it has a small size the RJ-11 telephone jack make it a little bulky.
