I Finally Went Ahead...

[Srono]

Good luck to you  
May be im in the same mood next month, i will order 3100 as soon as i can sell my Z6000L.
Currently, i check email so often to see if there is anyone wants to buy it. May be it is a similar mood

Don't anyone order from ChaseandCompany.net.  It took me 3 weeks exactly from the date I ordered and paid in full through PayPal before I received my Zaurus C1000!  And that was in the relatively slow month of November 2005.

Also, they open my support emails but don't respond to them. (I use MSGTAG software to detect when someone opens my emails - comes from having had a daughter in college who rarely answered my emails and I wanted to be sure she had READ mine.    )

Happy New Year everyone! :-)

I was hoping my 3100 would arrive today, alas, nothing... :-(

It was shipped on Thursday the 29th of December from Germany via DHL/Deutsche Post Parcel Express...

In your experience, how long would the parcel take to arrive?

I ordered mine in November from Chase & Co and had it in hand in 4 days. I was really pleased with my service.

Guys, I need your help!

The 3100 will be here on Monday, and I just realized I don't have any screen protectors for it!  

On my 5500 I don't use one and the screen is scratch free, strange as it may sound. I don't use HWR though.

Since the 3100 cost me 5x the money, I feel inclined to use a screen protector.

What are your reccomendations?

I have heard good things about NuShield (I like the idea of a non-adhesive SP, but do they stay in place?) and pdascreenprotectors.com.

I went ahead and ordered a pack of NuShield protectors - somehow I like the idea of a non adhesive SP.

A friend of mine uses a Brando SP on his cellphone/pda and it really is great... ;-)

Another question:

I am now downloading the Cacko 1.23 rom for C3100.

From what I understand, there is an overclock utility included, allowing speeds of up to 624 MHz. Is this correct? Are there any problems with the implementation?

[silencer51]

It's here! It's here! :-)

After 2 weeks its finally here! And its great...

I flashed it immediatelly with Cacko's ROM 1.23.

I'll try pdaXrom later.

Also, I bought a brando screen protector that I simply cannot apply correctly with no bubbles... I have used credit cards, rulers etc. but I simply cannot do it.

I think I'll go with a Nushield non adhesive SP.

Anyone know if they have protectors for the 3100? I ordered a 3-pack from them but they sent me the ones for the 5500...

[Cresho]

man...ill tell you something.  I used three different brando screens just to get one of them on correctly.

What you are expiriencing is that you actually did not remove both covers from the screen protector. front and sticky side.  it was tough and i had to use my nails.



remove all lint first as much as possible.
also (not recommended)  i placed warm tiny drops of water on the zaurus screen and placed the sticky part (not sticky cuz its silicon based adhesive which never sticks like sticker but sticks goodn enough) on the the flat surface.  Water grabed the screen.  as i worked my way with circles from center to out, i soaked the excess water drops with a towel.  no drops and no problems.

just make sure the silicon based stick is on the screen and not up.  Or it will never stick.

yeah, attaching the screen protector was a nightmare. i couldnt attach it without heaps of air bubbles or tiny particles stuck in it no matter how many times i tried  
luckily, my mother's magic touch got it attached for me. i dont know how she did it, but she got it attached without air bubbles
i guess i am just hopeless with certain things

[silencer51]

In the process of trying to attach the goddamned brando protectors I managed to destroy them both - thankfully my screen is still unmarked. I must have tried 100 times... I can't do it.

Has anyone bought protectors from NuShield for the 3100? When I ordered a pack they sent me protectors for the 5500... I think that on their site, when I select Zaurus C3100 as the model I wanna buy, it selects a generic pack that also fits the 5500 only...

I used the nushield screen protectors.  And you are right, they send you a generic one that 'mostly' fits.  It's just a little big and a bit of a struggle to squeeze in without some trimming, but there is no issue with bubbles since it doesn't really stick per say vs hover on top.  Once on though works good, helps a LOT on glare also.

[Cresho]

the brando screens are super.  I can't even see the darn screenprotector.  how is yours compared to brando?

Hmm... I ordered protectors for the 3100 specifically (I'm sure about that) and they sent me protectors that only fit the 5500 - they are too small in width for the 3100's screen. I think they do a great job protecting the screen but I'm reluctant to order from them again since it seems their protectors are smaller than they should be...

[bluedevils]

You guys just reminded me to buy some g2 screen protectors for my 3100.  I use them on my 6000 and I'm pretty satisfied with them.  They're not adhesive.  No bubble problems.  I had been using the generic fellowes protectors..
