Just orderd NEC 900C

All of these 900C's are from AstraZeneca (including from Used Handhelds). I sold my best units at the beginning, and I'm sure they're doing the same. Sellers may vary in the amount of time being spent testing and/or cleaning, however.

I ordered one off ebay for $119.00. I hope this was not a mistake, but I could not really afford the usedhandhelds.com deal. I wish I could! I've read nothing but good about them, and I would have liked the CD with software, as well as the network card.

If mine is in good shape (which the seller says it is) it is easier for me to buy the bits and pieces as I can afford them. Oh well! I can't wait for mine to arrive!!

AstraZeneca must have ordered a ton of them. like you said, most of the ones on ebay are from AstraZeneca. Did you get your units directly from them?

I got a new leather case just before Christmas at $4.99 at an out-of-business sale. It's actually a case for a book organizer but it fits well with MP900C. I later realized that was a great deal. When I returned to the store, it was really out of business. Otherwise, I could get tens of them.

Arg I just found out it was supposed to be delivered today but due to bad weather the UPS truck got stuck; they are going to try and deliver it again tomorrow. but then again gives me something to look forwards to knowing that tomorrow I will have it.

lucky you. I wont get mine till next week.... I cant wait

Yeah cant wait to see what I can get this handheld to do.

im looking forward to being able to run gapi and cool games. I had a mobilepro 780 before, and i would always look at it and sigh.... It was a good machine for a long time, but I am looking forward to having a newer device

Don't get your expectation up to high or you might be disappointed with your 900c!

My 780 is a great H/PC and has run flawlessly for years.....my 900c, now that's a different story!
It could be that I set my expections for the 900c a bit to high?

Tell us what you think once you get a chance to play with it?

Well it came in the UPS this afternoon and opening up the package I found a 100% working NEC 900C pro and runs like a dream. This device is everything I was hoping for. it even runs some of my old favorit games.

ok ran into my first problem with the NEC. was able to plug in a mouse and it runs just great with the mouse I then tried to plug in my USB stick but the stick would not show up? do I have to install any drivers before USB sticks will work on the NEC?

The 900c doesn't work with all USB pen drives unfortunately. I use the 1 GB PNY Attache and it works fine.

do you have a list of brands that do work?

Sorry, I don't have such a list. I ran into this problem too after I got my 900c. After surfing around the web a bit, the PNY attache drive was one USB drive that I found recommended by a couple people, so I got it. There are other drives though that do work with it though. For a USB pen drive to work with the 900c, if I'm not mistaken, the USB drive can't encrypt the data and it has to use the FAT32 file system (not NTFS).

Also what virsion of hand held winamp do I need to download for the 900c
