The image of the audioplayer is of the OS4 version. Screen image is most likely to be simulated.

Depends. If he isn't taking/asking for money then it is a joke. If he is asking/taking money then it is a scam. That is the difference between the two.

Why does he say that the compact flash is compatible "FOR ADDING GPS, WiFi, or BLUETOOTH, or a 1GB MICRODRIVE". Fresh out of the box it is not, and some people are still not using the hacks because their scared it may ruin their warranty. GPS still can'tbe used in the CF, bluetooth cant be used in the CF (there is a card availiable though). At least he didn't lie about the MicroDrive(that's after modifications though, not fresh out the box).

I don't think he is really trying to scam anyone. Those are just pics took from the Sony website. I don't know if that's there anymore, but I remember complaints in the past of Sony showing the NX with the screenshot from the NR.

Well, I take that back. I didn't notice the line about CF GPS and Bluetooth. That's a complete lie.

Is it unusual that it is shipping from Boston MASS, but the bidder has to pay in pounds?

Well, he sure has good ratings of 99.2 % at 1062 positive. I think perhaps the errors were genuine mistakes.... but they also can be considered misrepresentations of the products... some newbie may place bids because they think the functions stated on the auctions are true and real. Wow.... his NZ90(mistaken TG50) auction states the NZ has 64MB Ram....

look at past feedbacks and the prodcuts. if they are other NZ's or Nx's then you can be pretty sure its a good product cause they are selling many of them.

anitanium
11-10-2003, 04:28 AM

you can't change equilizer i don't think

and i don't think you can use any other MP3 software

I still don't get why sony wont let us change this stupid mp3 player

I mean fair do's you mostly arent looking at the screen, but that equilizer graphic would make the clie look sooooo cool!

and lets face it, most of us have to admit that we like to get our clies out;)

Lets annoy sony like we did with the CF drivers for the wi-fi slot, mebbe it will work this time :D

mp3's are for playing
as long as they play, its all good
if you want a dedicated MP3 player, go get an ipod or something lol

The screen shown on the NX on that ebay page is a screenshot from an NR series Clie photoshopped onto an NX. Sony does this all the time, so I don't think it's really his fault.

As for the CF/BT thing, that's just BS.

He never says it will work, you can place cards in the CF slot all you want he might as well added a CF radio.

Yupp, sony stimulates screenshots of the clie digitally. Check the Netfront Screen Shot on the NX70V. It shows the NX70v at the sonystyle website. Lets face it, with out NX70v, we can't even view the sonystyle website properly.
