Hello all, I'm a proud and happy European (read British) Visor Dexlue owner of about 2 weeks now. Big up to Handspring for this device, well done lads! But on to the main point..

What do I need to go wireless? I don't currently have a mobile phone, but am looking at getting one. I was looking at the Siemens S25, which I believe has been mentioned as working with the Visor. How does the Nokia 7110 fare? What else would I need? A wireless modem? Or can I just aim the IR port of the Visor at the IR port of the mobile phone? Are there an wireless FAQs or just general information about going wireless with your Visor?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,

Alastair

I've never gone wireless, but try this link:

Let us know how it works out.

Hi Alastair, glad you are enjoying your Visor.
I too have a Visor in the UK (Edinburgh), and a siemens S25 (on vodafone), and have them talking to each other quite well.

The siemens S25 is a good phone, and is very cheap at the moment as it is obsolete (new siemens S35i) It got a panning because the wap browser is out of date and non-functional, but in fact you don't need it anyway if you have a Visor.

The 7110 is very flash, but why pay more for a phone with a bigger LCD, when you already have a big LCD???

I am sure it would work though.

The only extra software that you need is:

1. IrLink from www.ISComplete.org - without this you can't get the visor to talk to the phone
2. wap browser client from www.mobileid.com
3. possibly avantgo client from www.avantgo.com (avantgo allows offline web browsing, similar to email collection - It also allows online browsing)
You might also want to get GSMtool which lets you synchronise address books, and compose SMS messages on the Visor.
I actually use this rather than any email client, as with vodafone I can SMS to an email address, or receive email (subject only) as an SMS.

If you go with Vodaphone, read their helpfiles on the website, as they describe how to set up to use their own ISP and do ISDN dialling to make a digital connection. Connects in 2 seconds, as the modem doesn't need to train etc.

Also you can steal the config info from their 7110 setup guide to configure the mobileID WAP browser to point to the vodafone WAP homepage. Let me know if you want more info on this.

I have all this set up, but don't really use it much - nice to know I could, though.

Regards

Hi,
you can find all the info you need on the ISComplete site.
Here is a mailinglist with archive: http://www.egroups.com/list/palm-nokia/

I have a Visor and use it with Nokia 8210, it works great. Read the instructions for configuration at ISComplete carefully (You will need just one file from the IREnhancement package)!

AvantGo is a really great program, if you want to surf the web, the best is Proxiweb [free!]. I use PaPiMail as an emailclient, but there are several other good programs.
Don't forget Yahoo Messenger!

I use this configuration every day, it's really cool!
If you have any questions, send me an email!

Cool, thanks for that! I'll have a look.. I'm going into town today to buy a phone, so basically, i'll see whats available, I'm edging towards a Nokia 7110 or Siemens C35i which both seem to be quite good phones..

have you had a similar problem, or do you have any suggestions.
