View Full Version : I switched to Clie!

Well, I made the leap from PalmV to NX60!

Only found three applications that didn't work properly with OS5:

RPN (free update fixed)
Quicksheet 5.6 ( ~$15 upgrade to 6.0)
Shadow Plan 2.5 (free update to 2.7)

I was using Xmaster and Afterburner, which I knew wouldn't
work; which I no longer need.

Over all, I'm quite happy with my NX60. However :), there are
a few apps I wish I could remove, either because I don't use
them, or because I think they're dumb:

Clie RMC
Flash Player
Movie Player
Photo Editor

I'd probably be happier if AudioPlayer would play VBR-encoded
MP3s; but my Winpod plays them just fine. Also have a
Bellagio case on order.

You're probably wondering why I didn't go with the NX70:
My opinion of the built-in digital camera is that is a dumb option,
a gimmick, not worth the extra $100.

My $0.02!

the Clie RMC comes in handy at hotels when the in house remote doesnt work and you are too lazy to call front desk :-)

The flash player is cool for some free games and appz and the movie player will come in handy soon when larger memory are released---

Photo Editor has to go :-)


good luck with you new NX :-)

I disagree on the camera part, although it's no equal to my Sony Digital, it does come in handy sometimes. I had felt the same way when I orginally got my NR70, and later regretted it. Of course it's a matter of personal preference. Besides at Best Buy it worked out to be only a $50.00 difference for my NX70.

In anycase, I wish you lots of fun with it! :)

I thought I was in the dark ages before I
switched from a Palm V to an NX-60.

I agree with you about the camera specs....

Good luck....
There's a lot to explore...

:cool:

It's been fun! I particularly like the large display area, and I prefer the
virtual Graffiti area over the Tungsten slide solution...
