I'm not promoting this...just wanted you all to see something you rarely see on eBay. The Japanese counterpart to the Mobilepro 700..

Wow, nice! Reminds me of the Sharp 4100 with the ROM 2.11 upgrade – definitely worth having. Imagine what you could run on it (and still be powered by AA batteries)…

Yeah it is nice. I said "same as the MP700" but actually the 700 only had CE 2.0. I believe this is the MC/R330 which has double the ram and of course the newer OS...

Could a MP700 ROM be put in this to turn it to English?

Thanks

While possible, I believe you would have keyboard problems as the key layout of this MG model is not identical to that found on the MP700 model.

So while you will have English language on the Japanese version with a ROM swap, you will most likely get some unrecognized character input with the different keyboard.

A nice find nonetheless!

I've always wondered that myself, if I could swap ROMs and keyboards out...just never had one to try with. But I'm not sure I would want to downgrade to CE2 from HPC Pro...
