Spectec SDW-825 miniSD WiFi Card (802.11b/g) - works! [Posted on 2008-08-07]
I added this card to a Motorola Q9c so that I could have wireless G access rather than pay $30 additional for a monthly data plan through Verizon.
I am amazed that Spectec was able to fit a full wireless B/G card on such a small chip and it even has a LED to show when connected. Amazing!

Pros: Tiny card, full wirelss G connectivity, what's not to like for $70?

Cons: Card shipped with driver install CD for Windows Mobile 5, which failed on this model because it would not install on Windows Mobile 6 (unsigned driver). I went to the Spectec site, and after some difficulty, found and downloaded the .cab file for Windows Mobile 6 which did install.

Other thoughts: Running Explorer on the Moto Q is somewhat painful, as the screen is tiny as well as tiny QWERTY keys, so navigation is often slow and not too intuitive. I would use the Moto Q internet connection only as a last resort if I couldn't get to a desktop or laptop.

Now, if there was a 802.11N version available...
