This system is only compatible with Nokia 5190 and 6190 cell phones. All other 5000 and 6000 series phones are not compatible. I would suggest contacting your wireless carrier and/or the manufacturer before purchasing this product to get any compatibility issues resolved.

I feel compelled to write an enthusiastic review of the Socket DPC because currently there is only one review on-line, and it is a negative one for the simple reason that the customer's phone happens not to be compatible with this product---well, who said it was? Not the manufacturer!

I was recently on vacation in Chicago and a severe storm knocked out our power for two days. But thanks to my Compaq Aero 1550 Pocket PC, my Socket DPC, and my Nokia 6190, the one thing I could happily do in the dark was send e-mail and surf the Internet!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - Surf on your WinCE, July 3, 2000

I use this product to surf the net on my Jornada 680. I can get 9800 bps, this is fine if you don't load graphics. I find that a site like Yahoo.com which is fast and has low-bandwidth requirements is loads up surprisingly fast.

You probably have to subscribe to your mobile phone provider's data service.
