NOW SOLD! Thank you all for your interest.

I am considering offering an import service to the UK for those that don't want to do the conversion process or take the risk of ordering from Japan.

This will be very similar to what Shirtpocket are offering, but at a MUCH reduced rate.

Email me if you are interested. (marc@countinghouse.co.uk)

Cheers

Hi,

Just got a couple of these from PriceJapan and want to sell one of them.

Brand New Zaurus SL-C860
UK Power Supply
Brand New Ambicom Wifi Card

This has been converted to English with the latest Cacko ROM to ensure it was working properly.

The box got a bit sqished in the journey from Japan, but everything else is perfect.

I'd like Â£360 for the Zarus and PSU.
Or Â£400 with the wifi card.

Prices include special delivery. I accept cash, cheque or bank transfer. PayPal is okay, but you would have to cover the fees.

This would cost you around Â£600 with the wifi card from shirtpocket and if you do the math and consider import taxes it is actually less than getting it from PJ (and they don't supply a UK PSU or convert it for you.)

Send me an email ( marc@countinghouse.co.uk ) or PM to discuss.

Happy to meet up with the buyer if they can get close to Nottingham.

Note: The 12 month PJ warranty automatically transfers to the buyer.

Cheers
Marc

Very tempted and I go to Nottingham fairly regularly, any photos?

Hi,

What would you like pictures of? It just looks like a new Zaurus!

Email me your email address and I'll send you anything you want.

Cheers

Just curious what the keyboard looked like as I thought it had to be altered to make it UK friendly?

A picture of the keyboard is here:

It is parctically a full uk keyboard, only a couple of japense keys. Software in the cacko rom (or a program you can install for anything else) allows you to map those japenese keys to something useful.

Cheers
Marc

Hmm, that link doesn't like direct access.

Go to ths page:

http://www.shirtpocket.co.uk/docs/zaurus.SL-C750.SL-C760.php

And click the picture of the keyboard, bottom right in the block of 6.

The machines shown are the 750 with the black surrong. It is all silver on the 860.

Cool put me down as a tentative maybe.

I am up in Nottingham next Friday (1st Oct), so I'll definitely decide by then, but if you find someone else in the meantime who'll enthusiastically snap it up, then sell to them, as I already have a Z5500, so for me it's a "do I really really really need one?" decision

omro · « **Reply #7 on:** September 22, 2004, 06:23:02 am »

It does look seriously fab though!

uczmeg · « **Reply #8 on:** September 22, 2004, 06:23:36 am »

No problem.

I suspect it might get sold before then though, you could sell it and get more on eBay straight away. I'm tempted to, but I thought I'd give back here first as I'm sure I'll be asking for a lot of help!

Do you need it? Do we ever need any of these toys?

Sell your 5500 on here/eBay to help fund it. You know it makes sense and once you've seen a VGA screen....

Cheers

After recently walking into a shop and buying an Apple 12" Powerbook, simply because it looked cool , I now have a "must sleep on it before buying it" policy when it comes to gadgets . Will definitely give it serious thought!

uczmeg · « **Reply #10 on:** September 22, 2004, 06:30:39 am »

I understand and even try to do that myself.

Got me nowhere!

*sigh* oh well, at least I'm one of these boring people that spends money on gadgets and not other things! Though my flat is a bit of a gadget's graveyard! Ought to gather them all together and have a proper burial.

I'm assuming you kept one?
Did you have a Zaurus before?

uczmeg · « **Reply #12 on:** September 22, 2004, 06:40:42 am »

I try and clear out as I upgrade, saves losing too much money! But I still have way too many things...

Yes I am keeping an 860. It looks great (they only arrived yesterday). I wanted VGA web browsing and gave up waiting on the Pocket PC world for decent VGA support.

I had no Zaurus before. But once I started reading about the 860 I knew I had to have one!

omro · « **Reply #13 on:** September 22, 2004, 06:43:36 am »

My gadget buying urges are all a twitch, but the brain is saying give it more thought. So I'll definitely give it more thought and contact you tomorrow. If someone is more definite before then, sell to them, I won't mind - plenty more gadgets out there to buy!

uczmeg · « **Reply #14 on:** September 22, 2004, 06:46:06 am »

Okay Omro.

It stays available on here until you decide tomorrow (or someone buys it before you decide). At that point I'll close it here and take it to eBay and make some money...

Cheers
Marc
