FS-I have 8 Windows CE 1.0 and 2.0 devices made by LG

I came across these devices a few days ago, and discovered that they were used as test devices by Microsoft.
Some of them have the CE 1.0 OS and others have Mercury Beta OS, which is CE 2.0 Handheld PC 2.0 (Mercury; November 1997)
All the devices seam to work, I am using one myself.

Let me know if you are interested in any of them. I can e-mail photos.

Mercury beta?

Can you provide evidence of the beta state of the devices?

Also which model numbers are they?

LG Phenom GP40M
LG Phenom I PTRM5
LG Phenom I PTRM5F

Thanks

I can take some photos, can I post them here?

Here are the photos of LG unit 1

Here is LG unit 2

It's beta alright

Edit: Don't forget to add to your user profile where in the known universe you happen to be. It's useful, epsecially when baying'

Vision2020: are you sure the second one is LG? this looks like a NEC mobilepro 200/400/450...
if it indeed has LG printed on it, i'd like to buy that one. (in any case i'd like it, as it has the ce 2.0 beta )
also i'd like one unit that looks like the first (GP40M) on your pics (true LG looks). i'd like one that says "manufactured in july 1996"!
any other kind of units? just these two?
also, any suggestion on price? or should i suggest one?

I will thanks

I am not sure that the second one is an LG. The first one is for sure because it says so. I may have one more type I will know latter today. I was going to put these on eBay, but I will let you guys have first pick. I know these are very rare but I will let you start out with an offer.

They're both beta devices cmonex

What do you want for them Vision2020?

ok, thanks for the details in advance, my email address if it helps: contactchan (at) freemail.hu

just to be honest, i don't think you'll get too much for these on ebay, not too many hpc collectors are out there, i am, and maybe C:Amie, but know of no one else, so.. the best idea was to offer these here, as here are the most people interested in hpc's

if these weren't beta units, they'd be worth around 10$ each, for example recently i got a hitachi ce 1.0 hpc (same as the lg on the pictures, just not a special beta) for 9.99$ + shipping. i saw another to go for 14$ but that was a BIN price

as these are special i'm willing to pay a little more. please let me know what price range you have in mind if any.

what about others? C:Amie?

Depends what the seller wants for them, I'm certainly not going to be extorted for them, they do come up from time to time, I've seen betas from 1, 2, and 2.10 (HPC Pro beta's were 2.10) before

wow what betas did you see? i didn't really check for them on ebay.. can you mention some examples? ok i know of one, the HP Apache 680LX one is on its way to me
