Anyone Used Conics.net?

[microsoft/linux]

I was pointed to conics.net by someone on this forum? is it a fairly reputable site? Why are the prices so much lower, than say streamlinecpus, or dynamism? Not to offend anyone who works for them(if anyone does) but their site doesn't look overly professional, so I was just curious.

Search these forums for conics and you'll find tons of feedback from people who purchased from them.

I just received an order for some accessories from them for my C1K. No problems, paid with paypal, fast service and I hadn't even bought the C1K from them.

FWIW,

I just purchased the Picsel Browser for Zaurus from them.  Paid last Saturday, and it showed up the next Friday.  Nice and quick!  Especially going from Japan to New York.

Them and price japan are asian companies exporting directly to you in the US.  Streamlinecpus and Dynamism are american companies that import the Z and provide english conversion, US power adapters, and other stuff.  All provide a 12 month warranty and all have good feedback in the forums.  If you are looking for very good customer support, then the american companies are the way to go.  If you are looking for the cheapest, then go with the japanese companies.

so, do price japan and conics translate to english? Other thoughts?

I don't know about pricejapan (I kind of doubt it), but I believe conics may do a rudimentry conversion (localization switch) at your request.

just received my C1K from them today (only 4 days, got the item before the tracking number!   )

after a extensive look-through of the OS, i only found the dreaded boxes in one place (a something in netfront... i forget what)

they do a nice conversion, and provide you with a US power adaptor (use the one OUTSIDE of the box... it has the correct voltage)

i'm very pleased with them, so far

ok, anyone have a reason to choose them over streamlinecpus?

Just got my C1K from conics. Very quick service and i forgot to ask for an english conversion but it was done anyway. The power cord I got seems to be from a PSP. I remember some discussion about their compatability on these forums before. It certainly seems to work fine.

The C1K is amasing although since i don't have a CF wifi card yet it is hard to do all that much with it. I can't get usb networking to work with either the OpenZaurus or pdaXrom roms and can't flash back to the Sharp rom without a 256 meg card (atm i only have a 128meg card) so it's worth getting all your accessories at the same time!

I'd recommend conics to anyone looking for a cheap entry to the world of Zaurii. If you can afford to buy from the US importers the extra service and warrenty may reduce the worry factor but im happy to spend the saved money on accessories.

Do any of the sellers sell new(by that I mean unused) C7/8 series?

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=84353\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

these models are discontinued  

[microsoft/linux]

I thought the 5500 was discontinued as well? Are the C7/8 series better liked, therefore there aren't as many new ones laying around? How about refurbs?

I too ordered from Conics.  Absolutely excellent service, I was itching to get it but after they shipped it took about a week total.  Very professional handling of my product in order to translate it to English which they did perfectly fine, and they gave me the USB host cable and 2 power plugs all for much less than dynamism.   What more can you ask for honestly?  Dynamism charges a huge margin that conics doesn't seem to, and it's because of what was said, to order from Conics, you have to convert the $$ to yen yourself and buy directly from the jap company pretty much.  This involves fees and such that bring the price much closer (but not quite) to dynamism.  I'd prefer to buy from Dynamism if I had money to burn but I already paid nearly $900 total.. I'll save money where I can on such a big purchase ;-)

Hello all,

ok, so this isn't the first time people say the site's a bit messy and looks crappy  

after taking a kind of poll on our order form for the past month or so, we have been working on a new shopping cart site (99% of people wanted it), so that might look and behave more to your liking ?  

thanks for the kind words everyone, and I better get some sleep now so I can ship out some more zaurus later in the morning!

g'nite (4AM in Japan now   )

regards,
-Brett
