swap out 3G
Has anyone tried swapping out the mini-pcie card in the DR800? I'd be interested in replacing the 3G card with a wifi/bluetooth card. I realize this would also need software support-- kernel modules, etc.
For that matter, has anyone opened the case? How difficult is it to get at the internals? Thanks! |

As i can see, reading all few forums, there was no attempts.
However, I believe, the future is with stopping of IREX dealing with Verizon only. DR800sg's module supports much wider spectrum of operators and protocols. It will be stupid marketing in front of every major electronic company working under its own digital reader. Hope, they will think about it and unhook DR800SG from exclusive Verizon support. And, think, DR has SIM-card slot, but Verizon does NOT need SIM-card(!!!), since it's 3G already. So, what's for SIM-card slot presented here?! May be, for future developments...

howewer, question is right.
But I think, that chance for internals to show up is equal to proportion of people who talk by the mobile phones (planty internal schemes and photos) to people who are read digital readers (in our case, DR800SG)...Do your guess!) |
