Is It Worth Buying An Sl-6000w?
« on: September 08, 2005, 02:01:20 pm »
I have an opportunity to purchase an SL-6000W (I have an L already) but I can't decide whether its worth it for bluetooth. Does anyone with a 'W' model have any comments?

Thanks

PS: Its brand new

hard to judge without a price.  If you have a bluetooth phone with edge or especially evdo connectivity, then you can surf the web from anywhere you have celluar service.
I'm now an iphone user and use my zaurii as serial terminals, perl and shell scripting and when I need 640x480 screens

I would recommend that anyone who buys a pda for bragging rights is in need of serious help...

well, if you already hae an "l" it should be easy enough to use a bt usb dongle or cf (though 8 haven't got my hands on a working dongle yet) which would certaily be chepaer and easier than buying a w.... and would work with your other stuff too presumably.
