If you have a new iPAQ 5100, 5500 or a 3800/3900/5400 that is running Pocket PC 2003, you won't be able to use your Bluetooth Wireless Pack With CF Slot from HP/Compaq. Some of those models have bluetooth integrated so that is no big deal but it doesn't seem the sleeve works at all, so you'll give up the CF slot and the extra battery life the sleeve gave you. They don't seem to sell the sleeve anymore, and I think we all know why. :wink: :lol:
So if you are using one of the older devices with Pocket PC 2002 and this sleeve, you might think again before upgrading to Pocket PC 2003.
Update: Small Town Man has posted a link in the discussion thread to a workaround. It involves a registry hack, so be careful, but this might allow you to use 2003 with your BT Expansion Pack. :way to go:
