Deals and Great Z Buys / Pricejapan Price Mistake?

« on: March 28, 2006, 08:13:14 am »

Pricejapan.com seems to have a price error bya factor of 10. C1000 is showing up as $36 shipped while the C3200 is $62. I wonder if anyone placed an order, I nearly did but backed out due to the obvious price mistake-refund hassle of an international transaction.
This was at 8AM EST.

Any update on this? It's been quite some time and we need something now that Watapon has stopped development.

Thanks, that's a good site.  The rotation utility is available, but the fonts package for the rotated image is a dead link.  Any other places it might be?

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Wellenreiter Available

« on: January 17, 2006, 06:40:07 pm »

Is it possible to get Wellenreiter to work at all with the SL-5600? When I try to install it doesn't even recognize the ipk. I am using the (what I assume) latest build Downloaded from the Wellenreiter homepage and am running Watapon.

5x00 Hardware / Non Oem Travel Chargers/hotsysnc Cables

Rich from RSherwood.com replaced the cable and the new one works perfectly. This person is a seriously good businessperson. If anyone else is planning to buy a ssimilar cable I'd recommend him strongly. Shipping for the original and replacement was superfast.

Hi SueZ
Did you buy the USB Hotsync Cables from this supplier? I recently bought their ultralight kit but find that the USB cable does not sync though it appears to charge. Were you able to sync using this?
Thanks

Link to the d'load page.
But it is for the 5500/5000 only. Specifically warned against installing in 5600.
Is there a similar package for the 5600?

Deals and Great Z Buys / Sl-6000l On Amazon For $300 Right Now!

« on: December 25, 2004, 10:26:21 am »

Just received an e-mail from Amazon saying that they've refunded the $305.99 to my card after processing the A to Z guarantee . I forgot how many times I had to call up before I could get them to process this before their stipulated time. Anyway, for my pains they gave me $ 15 + 20 + 20 = $55 worth of promotional certificates ( on 3 different occasions).
One thing I found interesting was that whenever I called Amazon during the daytime, I always got CSRs who were not very helpful and in fact one of them was outright rude; but whenever I called at night (I am located in the Midwest BTW, EST), I was able to speak to CSRs who were polite and genuinely tried to solve the problem and even offered me the above mentioned promotional certificates. The fact that these CSRs were Indian, as I am too, did not have anything to do with this, I hope    
Here's to hoping that the rest of you who were duped too get refunded ASAP.
Happy Holidays.
Peace be on Earth.

Accessories / Battey Extender Advice

« on: December 22, 2004, 07:37:36 pm »

Hi
I found this on e-bay (battery extender) and was wondering if it would be OK for my 5600. The item description just says Sharp Zaurus. Also, will this work with the Rayovac 15minute rechargeable batteries? Anyone have any experience with this seller?
Thanks

$280 now in Amazon. Being sold by amaz_s25@yahoo.com. Just launched. Ships from TX, United States.  C'mon guys. Bring out your credit cards and dust off your checkbooks. Won't last long (judging from our previous experiences).  
It gets more "Amazon" by the day.  
At least I am amazed..........
