What type of WAP do you have? make sure it supports 802.b, I have one at home and work fine. I did not have to perform any config when brought the SX66, Also make sure you do not have an ACL(Access Control List) configured on your WAP(Wireless Access Point).

Hi Guys,
I bought SX66 couple of days back and I am having hell of a problem connecting to Internet via Wi-Fi. I tried soft reset and hard reset to make sure there are no hidden seetings I messed up. Still it does not work.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thank you.

There is no insurance for this phone for loss or theft nor is there any extended warranty.
Are there any third party solutions?

please... just go an install ms voice command it doesn't take much space and is a great software much better than any voice patter reccording system like other phones.. no need to train it at all. its great.
Now, you have a PPC in your hands, if you are smart enough you would get the software that fulfill your needs and install what you need. I have voice command, GPS with TOMTOM, and many other feautures installed in my sx-66 working just fine. This is not a phone for people with little knowledge of PDA technology thats for sure.

It's nice, but the battery didn't last the first day and it doesn't have voice activated dialing or ringer ID. A camera would be nice but is not a necessity. I called Siemens to ask about a possible software update to add some features. They said that the device was made with "corporate users" in mind and after a survey those features were deemed more of a liability than an asset. As a result ringer id and voice activated dialing could be added by an update, but Siemens will never put it out.

Desperately need info. I love my sx56 and dont own the sx66 yet. I really need to upgrade but I need information about the phone issues. I just don't feel comfortable enough to downgrade to just a phone or have two devices again, but the sx56 phone portion bites. I have bad reception. I can't connect to live areas quickly so I always have to redial. This always chews up extra minutes when I didn't even get a connection or a "click" noise. Is this problem solved with the new faster device? I really want answers before I upgrade and if I choose a camera model (which I don't really need), will I actually not receive the benifit of having wi-fi? Sick of buying sx56's need new phone does anyone have answers if the new faster sx66 2003 se has a better phone performance then older models? I plan on buying the sx66 next month yet nobody I know has answers. HELP

You can purchase this SAME exact phone with the camera and also video it is called the I-MATE PD2K. It is much more expensive, but if you are looking for those features, this is the phone for you.

The phone may not have a camera, but it does have a WiFi LAN adapter. The Verizon Audiovox version has the camera but no WiFi LAN. I prefer having WiFi over a camera. I had a camera phone, but the camera did not benefit me personally. As for voice dialing, pickup Microsoft Voice Command. It works great for dialing and also accepts other application commands. For example, you can ask about the battery life.

For those of you who are interested...
Voice dialing is available through the ATA/Cingular network... (Even though it does cost an extra $4/month).
I do agree that with phone types as big and 'clunky' as these to hold up to your ear, it would be nice to have that capability ON the unit itself... you can probably buy the software, but it would probably take up alot of space (unless you could 'train' the software to your voice on your PC, then migrate the profile parameters for your vocal inflections onto your PDA to recognize your speech patterns. Only thing is, I wouldn't want any hacker to get ahold of those speech patterns ;-). Just thinking out loud.

Why can't these "smart phones" include voice dialing? Dialing is cumbersome enough on these devices anyway, why not make it easier with voice dialing?

A lot of PDAs don't come with camera because some high-powered users work in document sensitive workplaces. For instance, you'll never see a Blackberry that has a camera.

Why is everyone so damn worried about a camera on this device? Buy it for what it is. Most camera phones are lacking at best.
Has anyone heard about these being pulled for software issues?

Nice phone and PDA, but slow.
Disappointed to find that it does NOT support EDGE networks.
Keyboard is nice but is annoying when typing alpha and numeric.
Battery life is short, I can't find an extended life battery (yet)
If you can't wait to get the phone then don't. If you can wait, wait for a version that support EDGE.
