I'm conducting a bit of a "survey" before I put this NR70V up for sale in the classifieds because it has some undesirable features. I got this in a trade with someone, and didn't really ask about the quality of the unit since it was a trade (pretty naive of me to think that everybody posting to ClieSource takes good care of their Clies; learned my lesson!), so I was very disappointed to see it all scratched up and really worn out.
Don't get me wrong, the unit itself performs fine, it's just that there are some major gashes on the frame around the screen, on the graffiti area itself (this person definitely did not use a screen protector; the area is "cloudy" because of so many scratches in the letter portion of the virtual graffiti area), and on the back of the unit. I thought about transplanting the NR70V guts into my NR70's case, but didn't think it'd be possible.
In addition, the former owner screwed around with JackFlash and the ROM and somehow managed to delete the original launcher in the ROM. He put Launcher X and another one (can't remember exactly which one though) into the ROM, and they're accessible, but if you were to need a hard reset, or accidentally let the Clie die from lack of battery charge, you would have to go into preferences and assign the calc button to one of the launchers after getting your Clie back up and running since the original launcher is no longer in ROM.
A long time ago I tried to fix this by trying to copy my NR70 ROM into the NR70V, but it didn't work. I didn't put much further effort into trying to restore the ROM because I was annoyed about the unit's other disappointing "features".
The camera works fine, the unit works fine if you can overlook the physical scratches to the screen and body, and if you keep it charged all the time, it would work just as any NR70V would.
Anyway, I'm thinking about selling it a price between $175 to $250. Granted, it may seem high, but it is still in decent working condition. I just am sending out this message to see if people thought that this would be a fair price for an NR70V in the above described condition. I can post pictures later on if anyone is interested.
Any input would be very much appreciated.
