WTT: Axim X50v + Accessories for CE.net HPC

Hey folks, long time no see.

I ventured into PPC land for a while but now I've got a strong urge to head'er back into the world of HPCs.

Here's what I have to offer:
Dell Axim X50v, in good condition (9/10, it's been in a case since day one).
Standard battery
Official Dell extended battery
Black leather Sena case (for extended batteries), as well as the original Dell case
256MB PQI MMC
Dell Executive Keyboard (bluetooth)
2 (I think, I don't recall where the second is) extra screen protectors on top of the one on the screen now. Cleartouch Crystal, all of them.

Also included are the cradle and standard accessories, I'm sure I've hidden a thing or two somewhere. I'll put up pictures in a bit, I'm not home with everything ATM.


What I'm looking for:
NEC MobilePro 900C or Psion Netbook Pro, or other ce.net handheld with a keyboard (are there any?). I'm looking either to make a fair trade or come out with a bit of coin as I'm a broke student with no additional funds.


I'm in Edmonton, Alberta and willing to ship. PM or email me at dan DOT hunke AT gmail DOT com. Cheers!

Hi corporate,
Good luck regarding your trade. And come back here if you do end up with an HPC again!

I think you'll find your trade to be a little lopsided, and not in your favor. NEC Mobilepro 900s still sell on ebay for $800 and up, as do Netbooks. Most likely, (barring devine intervention), your going to have to come up with a little green to even things out, especially when Dell is offering a maxed out X51v with a second battery for $466.00 right now. Good luck to you though.

i disagree partially, a nec 900 can easily be had for 500$ on ebay. 900c's too. i think the 800$ ones were mostly shill bidding. simply impossible. also you can get a 900 for 540$ or so at usedhandhelds with 30 day warranty!

then you just have to get the upgrade to cenet

what i agree with is that this trade is lopsided and not in corporate's favour

there's the smartbook and its variants, also the sigmarion III.

do a comparison between all these and decide theyre all so different.

naybe the easiest for you would be to get a nec900 if you were happy with the 790. then if you find you do need cenet, upgrade (its software, not a physical rom chip so its easy).

There is also as allways the "black sheeped" Wibook

Yarrr, good point

I think it all comes down to who offers what, if anything - how's about I leave it open to any high-end HPC and see what happens

hum, you don't mind size, expandibility options, battery life, the amount of tweaking needed, nothing?

Make life hard for me, will you?

Size isn't too much of an issue - I carried around a 790 so obviously I haven't much of a problem with that

Expandability - I need wifi + a memory slot, so a CF slot + something else would do 'er fine.

Battery life - enough that I can go a day without replacing the battery. Would have to surpass my Thinkpad (T30) in battery life to a significant margin, but that really just means 3+ hours.


Tweaking.. don't all HPCs require an inordinate amount of tweaking? That's half the fun of it

Alrighty then, check you email

You're all going to hate me, but it's been traded off for a Zaurus C-760

Thanks for looking/offering!

aww.. why a zaurus?

Because of linux of course!

OZ rocks!

I hate you!

Heh just kidding. Perhaps we'll see a "WTT Zaurus for HPC" post soon!

Right on the button, that is!


And takwu, we'll see. I figure going the path of the Zaurus gives me more options for what I can do with it... who knows, perhaps I'll actually be able to replace my laptop now?
