6000 - Tosa / Trisoft Stupff?

« on: January 26, 2006, 06:24:54 am »

I am about to order som things from TriSift in Germany, however it isnt specified if the Original replacement stylus works with the sl6000, would be nice to know before ordering ...
Also, it seems that getting a USB OTG converter is a bit tricjy here in Sweden, so I guess that I'll have to order that as well from TriSoft ... Is there a possibility to exchange the OTG with an ordinary USB A port? Would be nice, indeed.
Also if someone have found an audio remote that works with the sl6000 I would indeed be glad to hear from you!

Anyways, have a nice one!

General Discussion / Not Sure Which To Buy?

« on: January 24, 2006, 02:58:20 am »

I am currently on the look out for a Z, any of the 6000 or C3X00, and first of I didnt liked the clamshell design, so I thought that the 6000 would be good enugh, and if I were to mod in bluetooth, I would be having myself a nice little geek tool.
But then, when I realised how hard it would be to find a 6k for a decent price, and when I read up on the c3100 and the fact that the HDD is exchangable for a CF (and the fact that 4gb flash is cheaper than 4gb CF HDD - at least here in Sweden) I thought that hey, music goes on the HDD (which can be upgraded for 8gb or more further down the road) and sensitive data (school work, that kind of stuff) goes on a 1gb SD card, I thought that heck, battery time might be less but the keyboard is more indeed, and the weight difference is not that large between c1000 and c3x00 either...

Anyways, to make a long (obviously) story short, Im leaning towards a c3100 these days...

For Sale / Wanted / Wanted: Sl6000x, C1000 Or C3100

« on: January 22, 2006, 02:45:48 pm »

So, since I am a Linux user for several years back, and want an handheld I see no reason to get one that does not run my favorite OS from scratch. I am very interested in buying an sl6000x, c1000 or an c3100, anything of interest.
I live in Sweden, so UPS would be the nicest way to ship things, I think. PayPal is offcourse no problem.
Just drop me a mail or PM, and we'll sort thing out!

Also, I wonder if WIFI trough USB has full support for kismet and other "odd" apps out there? USB dongles are both cheaper and more available, and in case I buy an 6000 or c1000 I'll probably end up using the CF for storage.

Any experiences out there?

EDiT: Also, if you live in Japan and would not mind picking a second hand sl6000x or c3100 up for me, or a new c3100, PM/mail me!

(name and addres of seller omitted, but is present in original reply)

... and I must admit, eBay or no, that it seems clean enough? (with out discussing the price, wich is way low)
Has anyone contacted the other sellers with the very much look alike auctions?
Has anyone used Western Union for cash transfer? How do they know, if I want my money back, that the package I was sent was fake? (They dont, obviously...)

Also, I have noticed that the sellers history is indeed very far from tech oriented, one sold mostly wax (LPs) and another sold secondhand clothes, that does make it look fishy, right?
