Is there such a thing as a wifi card/adaptor for the P910?

nope, still haven't seen any duo cards with wifi though there are a couple of wifi cards in full memory stick size that have been around for a while

There are WiFi SD Cards available, useful if you have a phone with an SD Slot. Damn Duo's!
Checkout my XDA 2 Sale, and yes, it has an SD Slot

I'm not sure if they would. Think how expensive they'd be too, especially if Sony made them!
To be honest i don't think the Pxx0 series would support them either. It would probably have to be incorporated into UIQ 3, as there is no signs of WiFi options/configurations in the current symbian OS.
It wouldn't be the best place to have a WiFi card sticking out of the P900 either. Memory card slots are much better placed on top of a phone TBH.
I'm sure future SE phones will have WiFi capabilities, do not fret!

I'm not sure built in support is an issue when it comes to adding accessories. sandisk provide the drivers for my JAM for example, hey! I just got the HP stereo blueooth headphones for my IPAQ 4700 and the drivers for that are provided by widcomm! so anything is possible
I agree that the memory stick sticking out the side wouldn't be quite as usable and I'ce read a few comments on why 3rd party wifi cards stick out of devices and apparantly its something to do with the faraday cage effect or something (but don't ask me what that is as I have bothered researching it!)

Hmm. I see your point. But i'm not entirely sure if drivers can just be installed on the Pxx0. I mean, have you seen any downloadable drivers for other peripherals? There may be some, for a bluetooth keyboard for example, but bluetooth is already integrated into the phone.
I'm not so sure if creating drivers for a Network interface would be quite so easy. They would have to add on a large chunk to the operating system to give it network capabilities, and to configure IP Addresses, and such like. Also, you wouldn't be able to use your memory card while you were using the WiFi Duo card, which most of your applications are probably installed on anyway. It just wouldn't make sense to create one..
Correct me if i'm wrong

well yeah, I don't know how easy it would be and maybe the fact that there isn't one goes to prove the difficulty of all this on the p series
in regards to not being able to use the memory, well sandisk do have SD wifi cards with up to 256mb on board so that wouldn't be out of the question IF they could do the duo wifi thing in the first place!
better to have it built in anyway

Hmm, i thought of that as i was writing the post, but then i thought, large memory sticks are already expensive enough, without the addition of Wifi in the card. They'd probably end up being quite long/thick too. For the price it would cost to buy one of the things, you might as well buy a cheap PDA with an SD Slot, and buy an SD WiFi Card with 256MB of memory in it too!
One thing is for sure, SD would last longer than a duo card would. More devices use SD than Duo these days.
I agree with one thing though, internal would be a hell of a lot better. Bring on future SE phones!
