| Anyone seen the lots of MP 800s up for auction on eBay? I just bid on a lot of 10 and won them. No batteries or power supplies, but supposedly functional otherwise. We'll see when they get here. Anyway, after I get them and check them out, I plan to get rid of about half of them and hope to get enough to get my money back...
So my general question is this: Anyone have any 800/880 parts lying around they could like to get rid of? How about an 880 motherboard... 
Wasn't really sure if this should go in the FS or WTB area as I kind figured there might be a little discussion about how I paid way too much for such outdated pieces of junk...
Except for my Intermec 6651, I've never used a full VGA size CE device...does anyone still use an 800 out there?

| Well if and when you get one or two in working condition, I'd be GLAD to take one off your hands. |

| well.. where are you getting batteries from?
that's the only problem i see here, otherwise the 190$ was really nice for them.
ah and i always knew you were autogenerated_bid  i saw your NEC MP700 auction but as the hpc was non functional ... i didn't bid on it... still wanting a M700 though!! as for the 800, i don't know. i may want one (with battery! ) but i'm more interested in a 700  |

| I'm still happy using my 890. The full screen svga is unbeatable at times. |

Hmph I thought you would pick the Intermec over it any day. I mean WVGA (800x480 ) isn't that far off from SVGA (800x600 ). But the Intermec is much smaller, plus it's TFT! I swear by my G138 because of the same reasons. |

Some days the old eyes don't work so well looking at the smaller 6651 screen |

Whoa, so I guess Nexio or Sig3 is out of the question for you huh! Even worse try a 3.7 inch VGA PPC with true VGA hack  How about the new Libretto... 1280x768 at 7.2 inches lololol |

I was the one who won Rich's non-functional MP700. It turned out to be a bad motherboard. A quick motherboard swap with an old 700 that had a wonky (technical term ) screen and now it works just fine. I also swapped some case part's (Rich's original 700 bottom case was cracked ) and dropped in my old 32-meg RAM upgrade. It now looks and works great. (The same day I worked on that one, I took apart all my 700s and re-did the screens (bought two screens off eBay from a fellow in Florida to replace bad ones ). They tend to work their way loose over the years and I had to rebuild a few screw holes. I now have 6 working 700s (3 32-meg units, 3 8-meg units ).

| Thing I like about the 700 is that it runs on batteries that are easy to swap out and won't run down if you leave the unit sitting around for a couple of months or so....

| Got the MP800s in...they are really nice, at least the first 4 I've checked. No case damage, all covers and doors intact, screens without scratches...look almost new. Think I'll post a few for sale in the proper spot of this site and see what happens... |

There are a dozen for sale on eBay right now, plus several lots for sale..8 units, 5 units, 5 units, and 5 units...
