C1000/3x00 General discussions / Sharp And Clamshell Releases, How Often?

« on: June 12, 2006, 08:03:38 am »

Planning to buy a sharp Zaurus SL-C3200 in the next one-two weeks (My 3-week nokia 770 doesn't do the job and will be sold), and after discovering it for about a month, I'd like to ask the senior users if it's a good time to buy it.

I don't know how often does Sharp puts into market new models, by the threads I think the 3200 came up on march, and the 3100 came approx. a year ago. I think there won't be many changes at least till end of summer, rignt?. Anything about releasing dates for future models, any roadmaps?, no one wants to buy something superceeded in two weeks by a more powerful model.

(I'm asuming the SL-C3200 to be the latest clamshell, nothing to do with 6000's).

Thank you all.

that's one very expensive alarm clock you are buying there. hopefully that's not the only thing you bought it for

Hi Meanie, I already read your guide (the +200 pg pdf one  ), it's been a pleasure, and as all of your readers, am lucky!. I don't have it yet, but after your guide and all the things I read, I won't get to July without one.

I'm thinking on it for a poweful PIM, a small portable eventual office (word processord, spreadsheet and e-mail), and project manager soft...

and of course, because I really love that clamshell design

(BTW, nice alarm clock, isn't it? hehe!)

yes you can use the Z as an alarm clock.

The Z wakes up from suspend even when closed.  Depending on the setting, you could turn the Z back off just by openning and closing the lid.

Thank you!, I think I have no excuse now to go&get one

Hi all!

I searched over to answer a -maybe for others- bit silly question, but as I didn't got a clear answer, here am I .

I'm about to buy a 3200 and I need to know if it can do such a simple thing:  If the unit stays completely closed, let's say, in suspend mode (does this exist for Zaurii, the same way it does for regular laptops?), does it wakes if there's an alarm on a schedule/calendar/PIM app?.

Something close to this is to use the zaurus like an alarm clock to wake up every morning, but having the unit closed (again... suspend/hibernated/whatever is called).

Thanks for having such an interesting and helpful community.
