Where did you order your C3000 from?

I currently have a SL-5500 and want to upgrade to either a C860 or the C3000, im looking toward pricejapan.com to order it but im curious as to where you got ours/how was the service etc.

Oh and im from melbourne

I got a friend of mine to buy it for me and send it over. It took 3 days to arrive using priority fedex.

Originally I wanted to get the D-Link one as well, but HT did not have it in stock (nor did anyone else) and I was in a hurry to play with it so I went for the Netgear one instead.

Anyway, I've been using it non stop trying to install all the stuff that works on it. I am so happy I got Firefox working on it now!

Hey, nice to know I am not alone

Maybe if there is a few of us we can pool resources and order some nifty stuff together like the Zaurus mug from trisoft.

I can't justify to buy the mug and pay more in postage and handling than the mug is worth

I already have the stuffed Penguin from everythinglinux.com.au otherwise I might have bought the mug and the penguin ...

Guys, if you want a nifty mini a USB adaptor, the iRiver one is much better than the GoldX one. It gives you just what you want, the mini usb a and its small. This is how it looks like: http://users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/PMC-USB-adapter.jpg (http://users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/PMC-USB-adapter.jpg)
Look for a USB host cable for the iRiver PMP-120 series Digital Media Player.
This site offers it:

btw, if you are considering ordering one, or are able to find one somewhere else, buy me one too and I'll pay you back
