Saw Antikx's post over at his Tyrannozaurus website today about whether there's future for Zaurus??

Perfect timing of this post as in the past day or so I've found myself pondering whether to pickup another 3200 as I sold my other Z's last year....

Not even sure why I'm thinking about this, maybe it's the feeling that soon they'll be gone, at least new ones...

Anyway, am I nutz or is the Z still a useful option compared to newer options such as a Nokia N810 for example????......

;-)


What does this illustrious group think????

Been following this thread some lately. Congratulations to ArchiMark for his purchase of a C3200!! I've been inspired to purchase a 1000 off eBay just 5 minutes ago (could not afford a 3200 sad.gif ).

I'm a long time 6000 user, who has had frequent bouts of envy for the clamshell style zauruses (zaurii? whatever). I don't think I'll ever give up my 6000, cause of built in WIFI, and a slightly larger display. But that clamshell form, the availability of more ROMs, and better availability of batteries makes these C series Zaurii very attractive.

Look forward to learning my way around the C1000, and see you around the C1000/C3x00 forums.

EDIT: Yes, you are nuts! But it's not your fault. The Zaurus is just so irresistible!
