is there enough space to put an extra batter in that empty space? doubling the battery life would be really great.

mmmmm...... extra internal CF or double battery cap!?! Such a difficult decision.

I would like to upgrade, but clamshell and usb host just aren't quite enough of an excuse. Extra battery or adding internal CF might cut it tho

But, you're upgrading from a 5500, right?

You get:
VGA screen
Faster processor
Bigger keyboard
At least double the 5500's battery life
Clamshell
and USB host.

More than a worthy upgrade. Especially since the C1000 is cheap compared to other Z's. When I bought my 860 almost 6 months ago, I got a great deal on it - ~$570 Canadian. Now I'm getting the C1000 for ~$490 Canadian (and a C3000 for ~$700 Canadian - ouch!).

Having a Super-1000 (SL-S1000? How about SL-C1000 Type R ) would really be nice, though I'd definitely go for the internal CF slot. If I need *that* much batter power, I can use my external power pack and get ~20 hrs out of it.

I'll admit tho that the C-xx0 series just didn't have what it takes to make me upgrade but the 3000(too much money) and the 1000(actually affordable for me) are VERY tempting. It's just a shame that I'm broke.

It's called "my buddy lives in Japan right now and his girlfriend is going to mule it back when she visits" She left a few days ago, and she's getting back the evening of the 3rd. She's also going to be bringing a C3000 and an CE-RH2 remote.

The store my friend would buy it from lists it at 43050Y, which is about $485 Can. The best part is I can still warranty them even after he leaves Japan, because he has friends there we can send them to

I'm going to case-swap the 3000 and the 1000, so my 3000 will be in sexy black instead of Ipod white.

Antikx · « **Reply #22 on:** March 31, 2005, 09:52:05 pm »

cool. i'm glad you are getting them for such a good price.
I will probably get a c1000 in summer from conics (currently about $700CAN), unless I find an ebay deal.
I hope someone can make a CF or battery connector that goes in that empty space in the C1000.
Just out of curiosity... where in Canada are you? I'm in Winnipeg.

Not half as glad as I am, I'm sure The Z has utterly spoiled me - I may never be able to buy a North American PDA again Fortunately, the 3000 is as close to my ideal as things are likely to get for a while. If Sharp pulls something with more ram or built in wi-fi out of their hats this summer I'll be tempted to upgrade again, but that's about it.

Given the difficulty of that particular modification, I doubt it. Between sourcing the parts required and the surface mount soldering of the chip and socket, Super-1000s will be very few and far between.

Sunny Edmonton, Alberta. Most of my family is from Virden, though.

Don't worry Marc, I'm not going to do that myself I'm no good at such things, but a friend of mine should be able to do that easily. He's been reparing Zauriis with broken charging circuts, burned processors and corrupted NAND Flash chips

BTW, we're about to perform a 128 Mb RAM upgrade to his C860 As soon as we find the memory chips we need (seems to be very tricky), he's going to do the hardware part and me - the software (kernel patching, etc.)

Hey, hi there Antikx. I live in the 'peg too. Amazing how near & far the Z brings us all together!

kahm, FYI:
(In Chinese, but the pics just tell the whole story)
This guy has swapped the cases of C1k and C3k, PLUS replaced C3k's MD with a 2GB CF.

Damn. And here I was hoping to be the first to actually bother

Nice pics - definitely helpful for doing the swap. I wonder how well that 2gb CF worked out - I haven't seen anyone attempt that before, either.

I've still got ~23hrs to wait till I get my hands on mine!

bluedevils · « **Reply #28 on:** April 02, 2005, 08:51:41 pm »

BTW would anyone know why there seem to be marks on the silver column the hinge is connected to? Is this from the modification or something else?

I can't tell. Blowing up the pics make it look like he's got scotch tape on there for some reason. Ask me again in ~21hrs or so.
