I finally made the switch!  I don't have it yet, as I ordered from www.expansys.us (http://www.expansys.us/) and I should receive it in a couple of weeks.  I know I had been saying that I would hold off, but I saw someone on campus with it (University of Illinois at Chicago).  Once I saw that she had it, I had to stop her and ask to see it.  She let me hold it and use it to see how it works.  I gave her my NX80 to look at, and the first thing she said was that it was heavy! :)  Once I was using it and holding it I was sold.  Over the last 3 weeks, I found that I really needed to be connected to get email's and connect to my computers at work and school, hence buying the TH55 UK version with Bluetooth built-in.  I would have went with the UX50, but I was just really sold on the TH55.  I also like the TH55 design better than the laptop design of the UX50.  I may keep both of my NX's (NX80 and NX60), but I'm not sure.  I also have the WL110, Bluetooth Memory Stick, and a SanDisk 512 MB CF card that MAY go with both NX's once I get my TH55...but we'll see once I get it.  I just had to write and let everyone know I made the switch.  Thanks to everyone on Cliesource that wrote about the TH55 and provided input...this site truly is the number one site for Clie owners!

Note: The only caveat to this...expansys.com, the US site, is located IN ILLINOIS!  I had to pay 6.5% tax extra for it! :mad:

Coolride; Check out www.newegg.com, the TH55 there is only $346 with free shipping and no tax. I don't know if they sell the UK version or not though.

Thanks for the info. I checked it and it's now listed as $366.00 and out of stock. Seems to me that these suckers are going fast...also it's a US version. Today I wrote in the TH forum that prices on www.expansys.us also rose as well, going from $430.45 to $521.45. The demand for TH55's seem pretty high, but that's just my observation.

Thanks for the info as well. I was thinking about that and I might do that...if possible, I might not sell any of them! :)
