General Discussion / Palm Ux-50 To Zaurus = Happy?
« on: April 27, 2006, 09:26:12 pm »
Thanks for the replies and advice gents. To keep this going I will answer some of your questions....
Snappy....
The UX-50 will go portrait in tablet mode with the addition of a $10 application
I doubt I will need wifi and gps at the same time as I use gps when driving, so shouldn't really be surfing at that time...... Anyway would probably keep my UX-50 for use as in-car navigation system. It's resale value is not good.
iCruise......
My UX-50 is dying - the internal wifi is shot, the battery life is incredibly low, the speakers are dodgy (my fault I loosened something whilst opening up the UX-50 to try and fix the wifi)- I could buy a wifi memory stick and an extended battery but that would be AUD 300 or so to patch up what I have, and I can buy a C1000 for about AUD 600
bluedevils.....
I don't care about outlook sync, I just use my PDA not my desktop for PIM. I would like to be able to get my current palm data into the new PDA somehow though, once that is accomplished I am happy.
bam......
Yes the same bigruss from c4p. I have had palm for 6 years now, before that psion 5mx and revo. Feeling a little like a change, as well of course as being unimpressed with palms releases for the past few years.
all
Would buy from pricejapan so would need to flash it instantly as I am not a japanese speaker in the slightest. Hopefully this would be simple enough, or at least explained somewhere in simple steps :-D
Zaurii don't appear to lose much value though so if I buy one and we don't get on I can probably sell on ebay for not a huge loss
cheers,
Russ
