General Discussion / sl-6000 v sl-c860 Witch Would You Buy.

« on: March 23, 2004, 09:39:55 am »

The 6000 would be my choice.  I did see it at the Linux World IBM booth and fell in love with the screen.

I prefer the pad or tablet layout of the 5000D, 5500 & the 6000 over the clamshell designs.  For me, clamshell designs make sense when the key centers are .6\" or better.  Less than that, and I can not touch type anyway.

As for built-in obsolescence, my handhelds typically last 2 years, so I don\'t worry about it.

My preference here may not matter.  I am, for the first since Nov 2001, thinking of getting a PocketPC handheld.  Though I love the power and flexibility of my Zaurii, Sharp\'s lack of interest in their own product line scares me.  The recent shutdown of DevNet is further evidence of their indifference to their own product.

hey reset...

so how did you unsubscribe? I didn\'t notice that in the email, or do you go to the sharp site?

Click on the embedded link in the email.  The url that it refers to has an \"Unsubscribe from all future mailings\" type check box at the bottom.  Be sure to uncheck the newsletter offer.

They pull out the DevNet from under our feet without one word to us.  Then they feel free to use our supplied email addresses to SPAM us.

I removed my email from the list.  If anything significant happens, I\'m sure I will hear about it in here. ;-)
