nx70 upgrade to nx80 -- any regrets?

[lino-man]

Seeing how the price of the 80 has dropped below $300 with the rebates, I am finding it quite difficult not to purchase it and sell off my nx70v. But I can't help but know that Sony will be releasing something new during Febuary to replace the nx80. Funny, but I got my nx70 two weeks before it was discontinued. :rolleyes:
Nevertheless, the nx 80 has the 1.3 mp camera, and that is the big draw for me. Since I have not actually had any hands-on with the 80, is it really all its cracked up to be (in my mind anyway)?
I just need to hear from some actual users to help sway me one way or the other. Of course, I would appreciate the opinions of those nx70v users who havent seen any reason to make the change yet, and why you havent.

[Dripps]

I haven't made the change yet but getting very very tempted. One reason is that I enjoy the extra storage the CF gives me and with built-in WiFi becoming quite popular (i.e. TH55 specs) I'm afraid I will loose that slot in the next generation NX. I don't use the camera much with my NX70V because quality stinks...use it for novelty factor only. Perhaps if quality was better...and light? I don't use keyboard...love the grafitti as I've gotten used to it. I don't really want to change to graffiti2. I am finding need for more RAM as I've accummulated lots of programs and even using JackFlash and ZLauncher to move everything possible to memory stick....I have 4megs left....not enough to use different backgrounds on my tabs for ZLauncher for instance.

NX70V was my first handheld. I went top-of-the-line when I got it because I'm always looking for something better. I've been very happy with it . Now I'm torn because I'm afraid of loosing that CF slot....very handy for carrying movies and lots of MP3's!

Now just waiting for some leak of what is planned for the new Clies.... when do I make my move?

[ssulux]

i do feel the same way about cf and my nx80 for multimedia purpose (mp3 and video clip), thus - no matter what - i will keep it until there's another nx series.

in the meantime, i feel that i could make my daily life easier with the th55. its form factor & built in connection also the weight ... ummh ... just simply could not be compared with the nx80.
so i will take it too.

be happy, take all you need to be more productive.

[Dripps]

Now you've got a GREAT attitude ssulux. One of each. Yes, that's the answer! Some people collect shoes, some collect nick-nacks or cars, I will collect clies. Now everyone will know what to get me for birthdays, christmas.... This is going to work.

[GodOwnsAnNX80]

Really, the only difference is in the camera and RAM, right? So how much do you use the camera and how long ago did you run out of RAM?

If I didn't happen to get an NX80 on a great deal I would have been very happy to get an NX70 instead.

[Dripps]

You're right GodWonsAnNX80. Sometimes there is just an itch. Better not to scratch. I haven't run out of RAM, don't ever need the camera (my digital camera can't be beat)....and I'm very confortable. All is well in my PDA world.

[lino-man]

All good points, guys. I think the thing I have to admit to myself is that I most likely won't shell out the $500-700 the new pda will cost, but will wait till it drops to a more reasonable $300. May as well get the 80 and then Ebay it next year when I upgrade at that time.
I do use the camera from time to time, but the pic quality is bad, so I would use it MUCH more often if it were better quality. As for the RAM, I started using Power-run long ago since there was no way I could live with the paltry amount provided by the NX70v.

[OcellNuri]

The only thing I don't like about the 80 versus the 70 is that the 80 has a lower frame rate while recording video. You also need a VERY steady hand to get clear pictures. I can keep it still though, and get some great looking pictures. Everything else, the 80 wins over the 70. It is a perfect upgrade.

[stronggeek]

No regrets at all here and at these new low prices you just can't lose.

You'll notice a few big changes, but many subtle refinements.

[meir87]

I upgraded recently and have no regrets. I got a better camera and what I really upgraded for was RAM/ROM space. I have double the space available on the NX70 and I'm not counting that I didn't have to waste any space on netfront/cliemail.

[ricleo]

No regrets from my NX70 to my NX80 :) the most significant improvement would be the 15.3MB of ROM available from JAckflash other than the 1.3MP camera :)

[meir87]

Ricleo, didn't you downgrade to an NX73?

[ricleo]

yup, i'm saying there were no regrets when i upgraded to the nx80 from the 70 :) I only downgraded to the NX73 for the nice black colour(only a temporary handheld at a great price), waiting for the TH55 :) Not much regrets downgrading to the NX73 either since i don't surf via wifi and won't miss the extra heap memory.

[markat7088]

Just cracked my NX70 - do I upgrade to NX80 or wait for th55?
If the th55 had the 1.3 mp camera, it would be a no-brainer. Maybe I'll wait for that version...

[archangel]

I upgraded from a NX60 to the NX80 and its a much bigger upgrade than I imagined. Obviously the camera which I am using more than I thought I would. Using Jackflash I have a lot more memory. I have all my programs running from RAM and ROM and still have 7MB free. Netfront is worlds better on the NX80 with the extra heap memory. Runs faster with no page to large errors. Having the CF support built in is nice as well. No more buggy third party and hacked CF drivers that freeze the unit like my NX60

The biggest thing that surprised me is the look and feel of the unit. The NX80 is just a much better made and designed unit compared to the NX70. The lighted keyboard, the buttons, the color, and the construction are much better. The NX60 looks cheap compared to the NX80.

Well, my course has been: Vx -> N760C -> NX70 -> NX80. Each has been a substantial leap from the previous model. But I got the 80 only because I lost my 70! I would have gladly kept my 70 and waited for the OS6 models.

Two important differences with the 80: more RAM available for user (although I have already moved a bunch to flash in the 80); and a much better screen ..... much brighter and more vibrant colors. Like you I have little use for the camera, but occasionally record lectures and play MP3s. The unit is bigger and heavier ....... not by much, but a little. There are improvements in little things such as the CF slot ........ but, again I haven't started using CF cards, YET.

If you still like your 70 and have at least marginal RAM left on the unit, fore-go the complicated launcher setup requiring more RAM and wait for the next gen NXs. They'll have everything the TH has and I'm guessing a lot more ............. and you will have saved $200-300 in the process. The release of the new THs should actually give you the reason NOT to go out and but one of the current NXs ...... save those for the newbies just getting in to the PDA world.

[lino-man]

So for the only thing I dont like about my new nx80 is where the power button is located. Thats one thing the 70 had right. But I do like the light they added for the camera!

[Dripps]

I find the power button hard to use when in the cradle. But on my NX70 the power button surface is warn-off and this looks bad. I know this won't happen to the new design on the NX80 since it's switch. I also found that the NX80 turned on once from pressure of my case against on of the buttons on the bottom of screen because when in the case I never bother to flip it over. I used to accidentally turn on the NX70 with camera button the side, now it's the hard buttons on the bottom of screen! All in all I think design of NX80 is better.

[lino-man]

Ok, let me add something else. What is the deal with that stylus? Could it be any worse? Just too freaky for me. Time to do some digging and see what others have opted to replace it with.

On a + note, let me say that I am so glad I heard along the way to keep my Covertec leather case off my nx70. Its a nice fit on the nx80!:D

[archangel]

The stylus and Graffitti 2 bugged me at first, but I've actually adjusted to both pretty quickly. I agree though the tiny stylus is a negative for the NX80V. Sony really should have come up with something better. I have a separate stylus pen though and use that most of the time.

[Dripps]

I was getting used to Graffiti 2 also, finally figured it out, but didn't like all those strokes necessary to make some letters. Now I've switched my NX80 back to Graffiti 1 and it's much faster, one stroke for each letter. The only thing I liked with Graffiti 2 is the capital letters made over center line. I heard there is cap hack that can accomplish this. Anyone have a link?

[trooper19231]

How did you get Graffiti 1 for the NX80?

I just purchased a NX80 as a replacement for my again-broken NZ90, and that Graffiti 2 thing is surprising. Two strokes for "T" and "K"?

So far the NX80 is pretty nice. I will enjoy using the camera to actually take pictures before the battery dies.

Excellent! My first attempt just failed, but I will continue until I get it. G2 is frustrating.

[Dripps]

You need to install it using the Memory Stick. Put the files on your MS, then copy from MS to the RAM.

[NX70BOY]

I have an NX70. I am very happy with it, it's just....the 80 is sooo beautiful....:( Is it worth it? I got my NX for a killer deal at $350 which was good at the time. The thing that appeals to me about th 80 is the camera (major thing, as I take tons of pix with my nx70 as it is.) and the backlit keyboard is a very nice thing to have. (i dont know what the heck sony was thinking when they made the 70, unless it was just to make the next modle look even better) I don't know if RAM is a big issue to me, cuz with my 256mb ms, I do fine. Also I have a CF card too. Oh, that's brings me too the CF issue, are the CF reading abilities good? I have the EruWare driver (now AthenaAmerica) and it works, but its rather bad with the bugginess. So I guess overall, is it worth it in the end?

[NX70BOY]

oh, and I don't want a TH55! :P

[Dripps]

You're a week late NX70BOY! Why didn't you soul search before the $50 rebate was gone? I paid $289 for my NX80 and now that I've had almost a week with my new toy I'm enjoying it more and more. I don't use the lame camera much but if you do like to use the camera on the NX70...then you will certainly notice the improvement. The light makes a big difference taking pictures in lower light also.
You will enjoy the CF ease. I loaded Pelaca's drivers for the camera, audio and movie players and now all is perfect. You don't have to mount/unmount the CF card...it just works when it's there.
If you use JackFlash you'll notice loads of difference with the extra memory. There is lots of Flash memory to use and I keep putting my most used programs in Flash and I still have about 10 megs left...with over 11 left in Ram. No more trying to clean up apps and moving things off or to memory stick to free up that precious RAM. Netfront is already loaded in Flash!
Stylus stinks in NX80. Feels kindda lame. I use separate pen/stylus at my desk so it's not too much an issue.
Hard buttons make so much more sense on same surface as screen, especially for me since I never use the keyboard.
I just saw the NX70 at Circuit City for $350 and NX80 for I believe $399?! You can certainly find it for less. What was I thinking when I got so excited by the new NX70 that I ordered it for $500??!! (heck maybe more...I blanked it out)

[lino-man]

Nx70boy-

I decided to get the 80 and ebay my nx70 and I am glad that I did. I really like the fact that the camera is so much better that now its actually useful. The extra ram is great as well. But what it comes down to is price. I got in on the rebate, so for about a $100 difference I was able to upgrade to the nx80. Its worth it in the end.

I don't own jackflash, but if I get the 80 I will definately purchase it. There's plenty of junk I have that I would love to be in flash.

I did not know about the stylus being different from the NX70. Is it possible to use the 70 stylus? or will it not fit? :(

That will be just wonderful. I've been using Okey (http://www.freewarepalm.com/utilities/okey.shtml) as a substitue. It lets you click on imaginary buttons, like on the clock and battery icons to go to memo pad address book, etc.

Well, it would be great to find it for a difference of $100 between seling my 70 and buying the 80.

That would be a great deal.



Also, the retractable CF slot is very appealing. But I don't know about the MS slot and the power switch being on the side. I guess you

get used to it huh? And the stylus on the top? That'll take a long time for me to get used to, having had both the NR70 and NX70

which have it on the bottom. I'd just have to get used to that too.

But the more I look at it, the more I want it. I read an article about the

NX80 (http://www.bargainpda.com/default.asp?newsID=1551) on BargainPDA.com. The unit just looks so sleek. Also, this picture (http://www.bargainpda.com/assets/1695.jpg) of

a sunflower, is absolutely stunning! All I can say is wow!


A couple more questions,


What is different with 5.2? (besides G2)
Can G2 be easily overridden? (I am highly addicted and used to G1
Is the different positioning of the back button a problem to those of you who upgraded from the previous model? (NX/NR 70/60)
lastly, Am I just getting mixed up, or does the 80 have BT?


PS
When I originally came to CS, my name was NR70BOY. Then I got Reggie to change it to NX70BOY for me. I still havent decided

whether I would go to NX80BOY..... :)

I upgraded from a NX-60 to a NBX-73v, I have no regrets in upgrading since I upgraded for a killer price. (Bought NX-73v for $230, sold NX-60 for $160) The back button on the new one is not that much different than the old NX. Personally, I liked the power button better on the NX60 because it was on the top of the Clie and it could be pressed while in the cradle. The power button on the new one is on the left side and you have to tilt the Clie out of the cradle to turn it on. This isnt very bothersome since i can just tap the buttons at the bottom of the screen during tablet mode to turn on the Clie. As for the BT, the NX-80 at least in the US, does not have BT.

Save money
Able to keep CF in
Netfront runs just fine for me. (v1.54mod)
Have just enough ram to run smoothly. (I keep all my apps in CF)
Just content with OS5 on NX. (looking forward to OS6)
Waiting for VGA or greater screen. (imo 480 wide is still not enought for landscape mode.)

Protesting sony for the bad servicing of late. (despite the fact that they are leading edge stuff...sigh)
I don't want mere incremental upgrades. Waiting for waterfall OS6 rollout. (OS4 > OS5 > OS6, Now that's true upgrading!)
Pelica made it happen I'm still living on his work!!
My next upgrade unit really have to sell itself over my already wonder NX70V machine.

I'm trying to upgrade, but no one is interested in my NX. :(

[lino-man]

NX70Boy - All I can say is "Ebay". I sold mine in no time flat and did pretty well too. Although there were several other 70s for sale at the same time, I bundled mine with a 256 stick and a hard case. It paid off- I think that people look for that pda with the extras. Several people from Canada asked if I would ship North, and I ended up selling to a guy from Montreal. Considering what our friends to the North say about how overpriced Sony products are up there, I think you have a good market there. Right now, there are only two nx70v's listed on Ebay.ca - and both are for parts.

[NX70BOY]

Mine's been on ebay for 3 days almsot. All I got was one guy asking me if i'll charge his credit card. :rolleyes: I keep telling him im only dealing with cash or money orders. He keeps email back. But other than him, not bidders. :( I'm hoping for some last-minute bidders to drop in tonight when it ends.

[NX70BOY]

My item didn't sell. :( I wasn't at home when the auction ended. But before the auction ended, somone asked me if I would put it a buy it now and they would have paid for it. I'm trying to contact them now. Hopefully they're interested...

[applejosh]

Well, with all this talk about the NX80 being discontinued and such, I broke down and ordred one from Newegg. It should be here next week some time. (And I just actually had hard reset and started anew with my NX70 after a few months on the dark side (iPAQ). ) I went with it over the TH55 because I already have a Wi-Fi card, I like the clamshell concept (even though I don't use the keyboard), I actually do have CF cards, and I don't like the position of the jog dial on the TH55.

Anyway, what version of JackFlash works with the NX80? (I have 3.0b6 which I know isn't the latest, but I'm still waiting to get an email from Brayder telling me the latest version I'm entitled to.) Anything different with the flash on the NX80 compared to the NX70 (other than there being boatloads more)? I'm looking forward to getting most of my productivity apps off the MS (still leaving the games there).

Thanks,
Josh

Edit: I just downloaded 3.0b11. Still don't know if that's the latest, but does that version work with the NX80. I'm thinking it does; I just don't want to munge my NX80 right out of the box.

[Dripps]

Yes Josh, that version 3.0b11 of JackFlash is what I'm using with my NX80V. You'll be amazed with the amount of FLASH Ram you can now use. I'm running into a few bugs with it....but for the most part it's great.

[applejosh]

Bugs such as what? Just a few incompatible apps, or some kind of corruption of files and stuff? The 15+MB of ROM (in addition to the 15+MB of RAM) pushed me into deciding to get that, so hopefully, the problems aren't that bad.

Thanks,
Josh

[Dripps]

No corruption of files and stuff... Perhaps I'm just alone but have found that first my BackupMan didn't always work....certain programs caused it to have error. (I've had same problems with BackupMan in RAM or Flash) If I moved the last file I moved into Flash with JackFlash back into RAM, then BackupMan worked. My NX80V was new....so I was always adding stuff and moving things to Flash to get it arranged the way I want. Anyway, I thought this was BackupMan problem but now I believe it's JackFlash. Sometimes running programs moved with JackFlash worked fine, but when I closed them there was some error and Soft Reset was necessary. No biggie. Moved them back to RAM or to card with ZLauncher, all is fine. Move them back to Flash....move other stuff to Flash or out of Flash (point is more changes) then all is ok there too! Original program which had errors is now fine too. It's strange - but I do think Brayder is aware of bug and they are working on it. It's not enough of a problem that I don't use it constantly....mostly persistance works fine.

[applejosh]

That's weird. Has anyone else experienced this? Even on other handhelds? I never saw this with my NX70 (of course, I'm using 3.0b6 on it at the moment). I wonder if it's an NX80 problem conflict or just something in newer versions of JackFlash.

[Dripps]

I never had any problem with my NX70

[Sonico]

Not regret at all, except for the camera, which I thougt was a better one, but not. I presume Sony change the chip for this model and the new CCD really stinks, the resolution is bad and has to many noise (blur imagens), that's the only thing I miss from my old NX70. :rolleyes:

Oh, THANK you, Sonico!!! I totally love my NX70 but have been soooo tempted by these low prices on the NX80...largely because I use the camera a lot and thought it would be kewl to have an even better one. Between that being not true and loosing the Graffiti 1 which I'm quite used to...not to mention the stylus...I think I would have been one very unhappy camper with the NX80. Just sign me...

No Longer Tempted :)

[lino-man]

Not to burst your bubble, but I think that the camera is quite a bit better, plus the light they added sure helps clear a picture up. Its the video that didnt see any improvement, imo. Also, I'm like the rest of you - I can't live with G2. So I just copied the G1 files onto the nx80 and now I'm happy again. Also, I bought a nice Targus stylus that fits very well into my Covertec case, so I dont have to use that midget stylus that comes with the nx80. But the thing thats really cool is having the PIM buttons just below the LCD for quick access! Double the memory is nice too.

I cant blame anyone for hanging on to the their nx70, but I have no regrets on selling mine. :)

I'm in agreement with lino-man. I think the camera is a huge improvement with the NX80...the flash and sunlight filter are great features. And graffiti2 made me want to grind my stylus into small pieces....so I installed graffiti1 and have been at one with my stylus since.:D Added memory, awesome screen, more ROM, the 4 hard buttons under the screen, lighted keyboard, new voice recorder button. All subtle little improvements that add up to the fact that I'm glad I upgraded!

[applejosh]

Well, my NX80 arrived today. I think I might even have about everything transferred now.

First, things I dislike about the NX80 (compared to the NX70)

the stylus (this thing is a joke)
jack flash appears to have some issues on this device
the CF slot

Now, things that rock

Memory - holy cow. (w/ JackFlash)
camera - looks better than the NX70's pics to me
NetFront in ROM
Wi-Fi drivers in ROM
Clie Files in ROM (only used for .zip support)

Once I take the thing out of the cradle, I'll get a better feel for it. I can see that the memory stick location might be a problem based on where I normally hold the Clie.

Overall, I'm initially pleased with the device. I love the extra memory, and it's just as quick (maybe even quicker) on accessing the memory stick. I can't wait to really start toying with the device later tonight.

Cheers!
Josh
