I am looking for a card that can fit in a NX60-u so I can sign up with a service and make phone calls or use it to browse the internet away from the office. I am not aware of any service that has a card to fit in the expansion slot of the NX60.

A 802.11 LAN card will not work away from the office. I would appreciate some ideas or places to look for such a card.

Thanks

No such card exists, but belive me, I'd love to have GPRS card. However, if you have a bluetooth cell phone and a bluetooth memory stick, you can browse the internet if your service provider is capable of such a connection.

There are cables that can connect the Clie to some cellular phones too, if that is any help.

I really should remember to say that too. Considering my cell phone doesn't have bluetooth.

I am kinda unclear about using BT phone (with BT MS) on my NX-60.

If I used a T68i with above equip, would I need to participate in (with ATT Wireless) mMode service? Or can you just use the T68i as a modem to access an existing dial up account (AOL, Juno, ATTWorldNet, etc). The mMode service seems pretty pricy.

Check out this thread (I think mMode = GPRS):

If you're with AT&T, they blocked this capability unfortunately. I don't know about Cingular. Also, check out:
