Where are the NX Users

[Inginious]

I have not seen any NX user anywhere.
(sigh) it would be cool to know at least one.

I live in Los Angeles, Any angelinos here?

I mostly get people asking me what it is,
and to explain it i just tell them its a computer with a
camera, camcorder, music player (apperantly, not
many people know what MP3 is), and internet.

What kind of questions do you guys get asked?

[biologicalerror1963]

I'm an NX60 user. I recently lost my NR and replaced it with the NX. I live in Long Beach and work up in Hollywood. You are not alone :)

[OcellNuri]

I've got a Palm speech pretty much memorized. I can't take my NX70V out to take a pic without someone asking what it is. I've pretty much gotten to where I can anticipate the questions as well. It can be tedious... but anything to spread the word!


What's funny is in most of my videos I take, you can hear the people around me asking me things about the NX while I'm trying to record something. I was recording my friend's dog and you can hear him asking "Hey, does that thing have a flash on it? How much memory do you have?". It's funny.

I havn't seen any other NX users, but I have come across a few people who know what it is! That always makes me smile.

[L-3]

Another Nx60 user here. I live in Pasadena and work in downtown LA.

I'm getting more "wow! that's a very cool pda" nowadays rather than, the "what's that?" I used to get. Clie is definitely catching on in L.A.

I have been accused of being rich, LOL! :D

[T1000X]

I just became a NX user, and I love my Clie! I love having the big screen, and this upcoming weekend I plan on loading down my Clie with programs and eBooks. Unfortunately with my wacked work schedule, I don't have any time really during the week to do much with my Clie. I work a 12 to 9PM PST shift, Monday through Friday.

Anywho, I haven't seen any other NX users either. I have seen other Clie users where I work, with the popular models being the SJ and SL series. In fact, I'm known around work as being "Gadget Conscious," and everyone comes asking me for help. Everyone knows how often I upgrade, and they've grown use to the fact.

[infty]

I love my NX....in fact I liked it so much a couple of us piched in to help a good friend of mine buy one too....I have an NX70 and he has an NX60, we are always sharing info and programs...it's great to have a fellow NX close by.

That would be very cool!

I use mine to keep my sanity at the Univeristy of Oregon.

Whenever I take it out to do something, my co-workers or nearby students will ask me what it is and get the usual OOhhs and Ahhhs! ;)

[thinking]

Here in the Inland Empire with my brand new, fresh out the box Nx70V. Just got most of my NR70V (gave to the wife) stuff I wanted transfered and am calling it a night. Pretty nice upgrade. Of course I could have waited for "the next one" but not sure what it's going to be and this will work for the next year (?? before I upgrade. Any tips to an old NR user would be appreciated.

[tantousha]

While I:
a) Don't have an NX (plan to have TG soon enough)
b) Don't live in the LA area (I'm a Vancouverite)

I have owned now two seperate devices (Visor Neo and a Treo 90) and I can honestly say I've never seen anyone with either device. I've seen a lot of m1xxs and a couple m5xxs, a couple PPCs and an older Clie or 2....but I've never seen someone with a Visor, a Treo 90 (seen a 180) or a newer clie (Like an NR, NX, or TG50)...bugs me...but then I realize that I go to my local sony store and find out that they are again sold out of NXs and TGs...where are they all going??

[lightninja]

NX user down in good ol Irvine. :)

[Eclipse]

Anyone else from Honolulu?

[Paakman]

Nx user here and from vancouver but from state side.

By the way...... Boycott the French ( uh do they make anything worth purchasing anyhow?) wine!!!

Boycott their wine too! California wines are far superior to most french offerings! :D

[Tixx]

I'm the only one I know as well. Ran into a visor user, some palm 515 users a T-mobile pocket PC user. Not much else though.

[randy_m]

There are actually quite a few Clie's where I work (University of Minnesota), but nary an NX (mostly SJ's) except for mine. One guy does have a Zaurus, though... :)

[ncoday]

I had a professor of mine last term that had a clie, think it was a T Series. Other than that, seen a few Handspring users off and on on campus

[Token User]

Live in OC (honestly - its an unincorporated tract) about 15 min from Disneyland, work in Pasadena.

If you want to see other NX owners, come along to the LA Palm User Group meeting on Saturday (details at www.naxera.com/lapug). Sony will be along this week, showing off some new toys as well.

[sstrasser86]

yeah all the time people say that i am rich....I just chuckle and say yeah

LOL I've beeen accused of the same thing! LOL

You know what dissapointed me. I saw this guy with the NR70.
He was the first person I've seen with a Palm Powered PDA. I
told him: "Oh cool you have a clie, what do you have in it?" and
he was just ignoring me! so i showed him my NX70 and told him,
maybe we can share things." and he avoided the question.
That really sucks.

I Hope that the same thing won't happen if i meet any of you
guys.

By the way, I think its hot when you see a girl with a PDA

are there any girls with the NX in L.A.?
(I'm and just curious, don't think I'm trying to pick up):D

[bbinelli]

I live in Toronto. I work in a relatively small office. About 10 employees...3 of us have an NX70V. :)

I too have been accused of being rich. If they only knew (see my signature).

How about helping me get an NX70v, now that the price dropped to $500? :D

[Inginious]

Interesting story:

I store my Resume, and anything that a job application might ask,
on my NX, including some questions. As I was filling out an applcation, I poped out my NX . As i was copying things from my NX the interviewer came to me and started asking me
what it was, so i took this opportunity to show him and tell him
what it was. It was really cool, He seemed to like me, the interview went very well, However I did not get a call back :(
LOL

Oh well, do you guys have any interesting stories

(By the way, I'm still out of a job, can a fellow cliesource bro. help me out, I'm a recent grad with a BSEET, its tough out there and im desperate)

[NETO]

Boston in the House!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[revbilly]

Haven't seen anyone else with one. Nobody even notices until I open it up and swivel the scrieen around to do my shopping or write a note. Then they go nuts.

What kind is it? Bet that cost a fortune etc.

I was a Visor Prism user until I could swing this NX70V. My wife couldn't understand the fascination with the color screen until she received my Visor Prism. Now she's hooked on color, too. Of course, she didn't see the need for the Palm until I gave her my old Visor Platinum. Now she wouldn't live without one.

Any other Texans around?

[imadrin]

In my class of about 60 people (we will graduate from HIGH SCHOOL in 2006) has been through/ is currently using the following pdas:

2 Palm III
2 Palm IIIxes
6 Visor Deluxes
8 m100s
4 m105s
2 Visor Neos
3 m130s
1 Visor Platinum
1 Clie PEG-T415
1 Palm Zire
and the self-proclaimed flagship of the bunch ***my*** NX-70V!

never seen another nx though. i have friends who've seen other people with them, but i've never seen anyone with a palm quite that amazing

[revbilly]

Don't mess with the French. They're just like slinkies, not much use, but they bring a smile to your face when they tumble down the stairs.

[jido]

Well, I guess I'm the first user from Mexico to post here (I'm in Monterrey). I've got my NX70V last november (upgrading from a m505). One more guy from work has the same NX, but I have never seen anybody else around with one of these.

It is not that common to see people walking around with PDA's around here in Mexico anyway - even when I rarely go out without mine. At work (I work at a tech company) at least half of the people have a PDA. Let's see... I've seen there a Zire, a Palm IIIC, a Tungsten, a Jornada, a couple of Ipaq's and a Palm Vx.

BTW, I'm also a nut for uncommon equipment. :) My first PDA was a Clear-case Palm IIIe which was issued as a special edition or something (it even came in a cool looking semi-transparent box) and I also have a Sony cybershot camera (currently a 717, and used to have a 505v, they are those 'L' shaped cameras). Never seen anyone with any of those things anywhere...

[rhart00]

Currently an NX user from North Carolina. Moving to Newport Beach in a couple weeks

[boxman69]

I to have nx70 I am very new to this but I like it so much I gave my girl friend one to. So I do know of one person. from Brooklyn

[Lexx]

I live in New Jersey, and I have not seen anyone out here with one. It feels very lonely sometimes. :(  However, I work in New York, and winthin my office we have lots of PDA users. I have the NX70VU/H, I now of only one other person with the NX70. My boss has the NZ90, and two others have the NR70V. I know of several other Palm and Handspring users.

[Badandy]

Wow Lexx, quite a few where you are. Not bad.

NX70V user:
no one in Golden, Colorado but me??? i could sure use the company of some good'oll NX users with a tall glass of beer from the great Coors factory next door.

[michael1960]

Any NX/NR users in "Old Europe"? ;)

[tantousha]

*nonchalantly walks up to michael1960 and whispers in his ear* Carefull...they're not to fond of the European types...they might start boycotting their Clies if they find out you have one...I'm surprised they didn't ban me when they found out I was Canadian *looks right and left, casually walks away and slips back into crowd*

:D

[Spitfire]

Michael1960,
Another European based in Dublin Ireland . Seen lots of advertising for the NX70 in Dublin and the shops are always sold out so someone is buying them but haven't seen another user on the street. Anyway prices are too expensive in Ireland €800 each .

[aChistu]

an NX in NH here

(thats New Hampshire...)

[michael1960]

Spitfire, 800 Euro for an NX70? Woow... that's expensive. They are selling it for under 600 Euro in Germany now. And that already includes our 16% VAT!!!

I haven't seen any NR70/NX70 on the streets or in the cafes over here yet. Of course except my own Clie, which I see quite frequently... ;)

It is great to be able to capture pictures, movies and sounds unnoticed... but it is difficult to go unnoticed when you are having an NX70 in your hand and you are the only one who owns such a cutie... :cool:

[Eddy]

I often see many people here in Hong Kong using their NX and sees many travellers using their NXs inside the aircraft as well, not such a big surprise being caugh using one here, close to like having a mobile phone.:D
But I do agree that a stranger comes by once in a while questioning you just what you have in your hand there? Especially when I'm using my NX in places other than that of HK.

[Spitfire]

Michael1960,
Yes incredible. I bought my NX70 in the US whilest travelling as it was only $599 (2 months ago) . I had been watching the prices in Ireland and the UK but decided that it was better value to purchase in the US .
Am very happy with my purchase . The 'Wow!!!' factor from friends and workmates is incredible .

[michael1960]

Eddy, yes, I am quite sure that the NX70 is a much more common view in High tech places like HK or S'pore. I remember seeing people with all kind of "foldable" devices in Singapore. I was also surprised to see so many of them sitting on a bench and talking to themselves, until I noticed the headsets... ;)

Spitfire, it's really unfair what we have to pay for the latest gadgets here in Europe. End of April I will be in Japan and have a close look at what's new. The prizes are really tempting there, especially with the given exchange rates. What a pity that my Japanese is too bad, so I cannot use a Japanese PalmOS. :(

[CopyCat]

Im in San Francisco,

Most common question to me is "How much was it?"

[michael1960]

I wish it were true... right now it is snowing! ;)

[clie_wannabe]

im clie user here in japan... and in our division (about 10 employees), we have...

2 Palm Vx english
1 Toshiba Genio
1 Palm m500
2 Compaq iPag
1 Clie TG
1 Clie <---- me

and the best PDA... of course the NX!!!

[Wolfsmoke]

North Shore of Massachusetts here, north of Boston, and I haven't seen another NX around here at all. I upped from a T415, which my partner had as well and still uses. Right now in our company, there are 3 handhelds: a Palm m100 *snort, snicker* her T415, and my NX70V. You can bet which gets more attention!

[NXTacy]

Ohio here with an NX70V. I went to buy a dishwashing machine at a local store and whipped it out to take a picture of the model I wanted so I could research it and one of the workers said, "hey that looks just like mine". He had an NX70V as well and we beamed each other some programs :).

Most common questions are where did you get it, how much was it and where can I get a cheaper one.

[Yvette]

I have a - PEGNX70V, It's the best.

[Rick 098]

Wheaton? I have the NX-60

[Millig]

Have had my NX70 for a week and liked it so much I bought it a leather case and some screen protectors. Got it in the UK and it cost me the equivalent of $600. Yes they are expensive over here but got to say they are worth every penny. Have not seen anyone with one. I also have a Sony digital camera, the F707, and you don't see many of those around either.

[dmale7]

Philadelphia! I only know one other guy with an NX70. I work with him and his is gunmetal (i'm still a little jealous), My boy Kilo10.

Hannover eh? Hamburg eh? man...the memories...in 2000 I went to Germany for Expo 2000....LOVED IT!!!! I miss it SOO much!!!. We flew into Berlin, spent a couple days touring it (nowhere near enough time) then we took a train to Hildesheim (sic?) where we stayed while we attended the Expo every day for like 5 days...after that we took a train up to Hamburg for a few days of sight-seeing before coming back to Canada. Of all the countries I've been to (US, England, France, Italy, etc.) I think Germany was my favorite...still is :D can't wait to return (hopefully with my TG50 in hand)

Post-whore! LOL :D Oh wait, mine just went up by one too!

I have a NX60 btw, in NorCal (Silicon Valley). Seems pretty popular around here, I've seen one other person with a NX70, and the stores (Fry's) usually have more stocks of the SJ series than the NX (take it for what it means)...

St. Petersburg Florida, land of decrepit old people who still use slide-rules and parchment. Thankfully, I go to a prep school filled with palm and laptop toting students. Not many places i know of where the students are petitioning the student council to have a wLAN installed.

Yea, but the only ones who use their PDA's in such a geekish&nbsp;fashion are the Zaurus users as well as my self. :( Not much fun for me since we can not exchange stuff, and I can't program on my Clie in perl, or run Apache, yada yada yada. :( But as cheap as the Zaurus's are getting lately, I may spring for one so I can share in the fun. :)

[profvisor]

I'm in Southern NJ (outside of Philly). I've seen one other NX on the campus where I work. I've seen a few other people with Clie's. Some folks at the University act like they have never seen a PDA (which is a little surprising to me on a college campus)

[KongK]

I'm in Singapore. Most of the colleagues in my dept are using one or another PalmOS based devices. I've recently helped "convince" another colleague to buy a NX :) so the current PDAs count in my dept (of 20 ppl) are :-

1 PSION
1 iPaq
1 Tungsten
1 Palm V
1 Palm M505
2 Palm Vx
2 Clie N7xx
2 Clie NR
2 Clie NX

I'm also known to change my PALMs quite frequently (compared to others in my dept) so I've also become the unofficial "support guy" for PALM based problems. :p

Outside of my company, I've not seen another using NX though alot of M515s and CLIE SJ/Ts.

[UZI4U182]

Tell me, what is this NX70 some of you speak of? Is it anything lke the NX70v? ;)

[aussie_nx70v]

its looks like from this post that there are alot of NX's in Europe, U.S./Canada....etc....but not from the largest island in the world.

Australia....

Well, until now that is

[michael1960]

To tantousha, great to hear you like Germany, although your message is embarrassing me a bit because you came all the way from Canada to visit the EXPO and I never made it, although it's just 200 km from Hamburg. ;)

Hey, given the speed with which SONY invents new products, if you want to visit Germany hopefully with my TG50 in hand it probably means you have to come here very soon. Otherwise you might visit Germany with your Clie NZ2003 with built in GPS, TV and hairdryer. :)

To KongK, that's really a nice place you are living! I've been to S'pore several times and love that place. Probably the best food in the world and one of the fastest changing places I've ever seen. One of my favourite locations is the FUNAN IT Mall, but it is a dangerous place, especially for my bank account. I should make it a habit to go there without any money and plastic cards. It is just too tempting... :)

Well my Dad promised me that if I raise enough money to pay for my tuition in the fall than he and I would take off for a week in Germany...so it probably will be with my TG50...if you see anyone with a TG50 and a canadian flag lapel pin roaming the streets this summer, than it's probably me...:D

That's how I ended up with all my Palmpilots :). Another such dangerous place in is SimLim Square... :p

[Ubik]

Hello,I'm in Essex in the UK anyone else near here got a clie?

[michael1960]

KongK, SimLim lost a bit of it's attraction recently. I remember that you could buy Windows Office 2000 for about 10 US$ there a few years ago. Of course I would never buy those CDs, but they looked pretty original. ;)

But well, SimLim is still a great place for all kind of computer and video hardware and I usually finish my visits there with a walk through the "Bazaar" in Bugis Street.

Speaking of "Bugis", they have a SonyStyle shop there but I couldn't find any Clies. :(

[Inginious]

Any Clie users in East Los Angeles?

[pollyg]

Had to jump in, I am an older female person in San Diego, CA. The closest person I know with a Clie is the guy I sold my NR70 to after I bought my NX70.

How many of you babies had a Newton. My first hand held was a Casio, with a keyboard much like the Clie, which was one reason I bought the Clie, I loved that keyboard. After the Casio:

Sharp model of Newton
Newton
Palm Pilot
Palm V
Palm IIIc
Clie NR70
And now NX70

Loved them all in their time and am sure will love the next latest and greatest. Though I will skip the NZ.

[jcv1]

Another Buckeye here (that's Ohio for the International crowd....) Same type of reactions from folks... "you must be rich", "how much was that.....Oooooo", "it does WHAT?", "can I?", etc. First thing the guys say about the built in camera is "You sly dog, you...." But, I use it mostly for work in insurance claims - Mapopolis, damage photos, recorded statements, expense reports, etc. This thing just is too cool...

[nigeljedi]

NX70V user here from Southwest Missouri. Actually, I'm a converted Palm m505/Handspring Visor user who was then converted to Pocket PC and then back to the Palm OS via the NX70V.
I love it. I had the Compaq iPaq 3955 and I really enjoyed it, but the company my mom works for bought all their employees Clie NX70's. She brought it with her to dinner one night, and I was sold! I went the next day and traded my Compaq for the Clie.
My wife thinks I'm insane for always exchanging tech stuff, but I'm always on the lookout for the best PDA!

[dimensiondvdrob]

I am here in Westwood, CA. I also have never seen anyone with a CLIE, besides me. I recently got a NZ90 from having the NX70 just before. I probably have had every palm since the Pilot Professional. I also did not know that the LAPUG meetings were in Westwood also! I might have to check out the meeting next month! Would sure be nice to run into another CLIE user, besides my girlfriend (I bought her a CLIE...hehe)

[dimensiondvdrob]

Ooooh, I forgot to mention that I was buying a lamp for my home office and while there, I took my NZ out and took photos of other lamps I liked to show around and get opinions. The sales person started following me around and finally asked me what it was and does it do this and that...i think i may have talked him into getting one! it's so handy to have a camera with you everywhere!

What I fail to understand, is why (a lot of) you people don't use the Location field in your profile to identify where you're from. I sometimes enjoy the obscure, mysterious, and sometimes vagary text that gets put there, but think many of us would appreciate more of us using the field for what it was intended....

(Oh, that includes those of you who just leave it blank too.)
