Title: Where to buy?
Post by: rd on October 27, 2003, 08:51:38 am: I\'m after a pair of SL-5500s, a pair of serial cables and a pair of WiFi CF cards for a university project. (My own Z is the prototype, but I won\'t let them take it apart which they need to do for the next stage )

Are they still available anywhere over here? Tried expansys and they say they won\'t be getting the recon ones they list on their site as for sale :

I\'d really like to get a C760 myself from http://www.shirtpocket.co.uk (http://www.shirtpocket.co.uk) and relatively speaking their prices are quite reasonable, but still higher than my funds allow

Post by: rd on October 27, 2003, 04:18:34 pm: Thanks for the tigerdirect link guys, I have sent them an email to see if they will ship to the UK.. assuming they have any. Supplies on eBay seem limited too (

I\'m looking at the C750 for myself (prefer black to white heh) and I\'m just being held back by concerns about how well my existing apps will run (qpe-gaim, opera, qplot), and if there are decent ROMs for it. FWIW shirtpocket seem pretty competent - I sent them an email about some hardware issues and rom stuff and their reply was fast and what I was after.

Bought an 860 recently from shirtpocket and no problems - took about a week to arrive, may be a bit less.
