Best HPC?

I'll keep my eyes open for one then.

So are the first two Sigs close to the Jornada in size?

RandomInsano! i got the sig II today from customs

what did you want to know about it?

i'll do a comparison between it and the J72x...

yes! very close!

pics for comparison .. sig2 vs sig3, j728 vs sig2, nec's vs sig2

Nice pictures. Maybe you should make a new thread just to celebrate your Sig II's arrival

cmonex.. congratulations on the new arrival

Is the Sig II better than the J728? And is the Sig III that much better than a J728?

Not bad! Seriously, though, I gotta slow down. I got so many already (including the MP800 I just got from Rich), when am I gonna find time to play with another one?

Is the sig 2 better than the j720/728 ? no. I do like the foma (sony) which almost all hpc in japan have to connect cell phones to the hpc and all the extra software that Japanese computers get that makes them worth the price.

I had a Japanese J720 which sold to get the Sig 3.

You can still get them for 50.00 just have to look. You lucky to get it for that price.

I got them when they first came out new sig 1,2, and 3. i had the sig 1 for 3 months (sold it to get phenom 120) sig 2 ( gave to friend as a loan..he still have it)sig 3 lost it.

There are so many Japanese only HPC models too bad they are not marketed outside Japan.

The JVC model I will try and get soon after I promise to get the MP900c
and fixing the batteries on the SB G138.

S/F,
CEYA!

hey ceya, could you tell me what the software in the flash rom is? i recognize a few of them but not all...

no it isnt better than the j728... but it is so cool. i will use it a lot.

do you have any idea where to get a foma-usb host converter for it?

50$, lol, don't tell me i couldve saved a little money! (but i didnt really want to have you get one for me... so when i saw it on ebay i BIN'ed it. oh btw did you get my email???)

Oh ho ho! Sweeeet. I want a SigII so bad... I think the big question is how easy is it to turn CE to english. I don't know if CE Pro 2000 (right OS for the SigII?) is easy to convert to something a little more english friendly.

I've researched the heck of of the Sigmarions... The only drawback I see with them is a lack of PCMCIA slot. At least they make a lot of CF doodads.

How does the construction feel? Is the screen component made out of aluminum or just plastic? How's the battery life (hard to check, I know)? Are you willing to sell it?

yes it is a sweet device.. the screen is nice, i'll see what it is like with video and stuff (as some think theres no ghostign, some think there's a lot)

i think it can be converted 50%, maybe more, i'll let you all know soon.

lack of pcmcia, well 1) flashrom helps a little 2) sandisk wifi with memory helps too (if we can find mips drivers)

construction: it looks OK, time will tell, mine is really in a like new condition! it is plastic. battery life, i'll test that soon too, one thing is for sure, it survived weeks in suspend while traveling to me. battery was at 60% when i got it.

no, i cannot sell it, sorry

Nice looking unit, looks like the screen is got one up on the jornada at least. Tempting, very tempting. Thanks for the pics cmonex.

Talking of comparasions:

Clevo M37EW (XP Pro atm - 15.4in), MP780, J718, iPAQ 3870 (EWWW!)
It is safe to say, for portiblity, you are better off with a HPC, as long as you don't do any 3D work! Othewise you WILL need a laptop!
Note my display pic for MSN on the bottom! It has to be seen to be believed!

mmm yes the screen is indeed better at video. i mean less ghosting and whatever. but there's some

also the cpu handled one of the sample betaplayer videos better (didn't try the others):

this is without audio and both in GDI. (grr tcpmp doesn't support the mediaq in sig2 i believe)

...lol i realize now that this was done with betaplayer 0.50

if you can read German they have a good review.

no i can't remember. most paper work is in storage, I will look to see if I have it.

Oh I posted FOMA by Sony but it is NTT DoCoMo by Foma phone was Sony.
