If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay on eBay? And who is he? Is he
selling any more?

I've been searching eBay for the cards and the best I found closed at $209 I
think. That's a relatively good deal, except to get it to work with my
QCP-860 I have to buy a new cable costing $70 or $80. Did you check whether
the cable coming with the DOTG card fits your phone?

You might want to think about the QCP-860. I love it. It fits comfortably in
my pants pocket, has a very logical button layout and size, and I really
like the minibrowser wireless web features. It is really a quantum leap over
the QCP-820.

I surely will. It's too bad I won't have a fellow Bell Atlantic Newtonite to
work with.

Best of luck,

Doug
