I've had two wireless computers, a Cateye and a VDO and none of those lasted more then 3 years, plus the battery in the sending unit last about 6 months. So I went back to wired to get back some reliability. If you want the wireless the 1609 STS is wireless and sells for about $48.

Also see this for more details on the 1609: http://www.sigmasport.com/us/produkt..._wired/bc1609/
I have the BC 1009, and I like it. The more I ride, though, the more I think it might be nice to have cadence. Sigmas are nice computers, and offer a lot of functionality for the price.
