Has anyone managed to get serial comms working on a Smartphone 2003 device,
I'm thinking of getting an Orange SPV E200, but would like to know if serial
comms works first.

Thanks,

Steven
 
Hi,

I do not know of any serial hardware for a SmartPhone. Have you seen any?
There are no SD serial adapters, and I haven't seen any SmartPhones with CF
slots. None that I know of have internal serial ports.

The E200 has Bluetooth, which I think should appear as a virtual serial
port, at least that's how I use Bluetooth on PDAs.

I don't have Bluetooth on my Smartphone, so ... I'd think that my
CFSerialIO dll (see my homepage) or the Serial class from www.opennetcf.org
would work. However, without having hardware to try, I cannot be sure. Let
me know what you find.
