C750 worth buying over C760 (or 860) considering price diff?
« on: March 12, 2004, 12:11:06 pm »
I have been planning to buy a C7xx series, but is it worth buying the C750 (since its less priced and I am going to be having a baby coming my way so have to be careful of expenses and justify that)
or should I invest more and buy a 760 or 860 considering the increased memory and battery life I get...

whats the general take out there...

what if I consider a used one for both models ?
(guess all the new stuff from now on would be for the baby)

I think you should go for a C760. It has the same hardware as the C860 and will save you money.
If you buy a C750 now, I can imagine you\'d buy a bigger battery later and spend the money when the baby is there - which could mean trouble in the family ;-))
And I also think that memory is an important factor if you still want to be able to use your sd-slot (mine is now occupied by a 512MB card which is difficult to umnount because most apps are installed there)...

Maybe I just don\'t travel enough, but I am happy with my C750 battery.

Bottom line: if you are not using 802.11b then the battery is fine for daily usage. Remember any tech purchase is a drepreciating investment, but nothing dpereciates worse than money spent on rechargable batteries.

The only other significant difference between the 750 and 760 (the extra NAND flash) is easily overcome with an extremely cheap SD card

Regarding 760 vs. 860 absolutely save a few bucks by buying a 760, but I think you may have trouble finding a 760 for sale.
