Yes they are reliable and work quite nicely. I have the Ambicom
compact flash card (purple antenna) and a CF adapter.

That's not a standard.

I would look over at www.40hz.org for a list of cards that Eckhart has
working...
As far as how it works, I can't comment too much for windows. On the
Mac I can send files back and forth as well as installing packages
(Also need IC/VC). I can also send vcard to the phone from the newton
and vice-versa.
I am unaware of any "syncing" setup that works via bluetooth currently.
Also Sony/Ericsson phones have had an issue with GPRS internet access,
that has been a problem for Newton. In other words, I have setup both
the t68i and a t610 to get internet access from the the GPRS
connection, but in both cases these connections were frequently
dropped (especially in Mail V) do to an "echo packets" issue.
From the mac you can disable the echo packets and the phones then work
great for access... Too bad I can't do the same from newton, as this
would be a killer portable setup. Bluetooth is very easy on the
batteries also, unlike WIFI.
