53% off? I couldn't resist. Only $80. $87 with shipping. Supposed to come October 10 - October 14.

Anyone else have one? How did you guys like it? :cool:

I have 2 actually...! Fossil-branded and Abacus-branded - and I love em both! Just wish the battery life was a little longer.

Hey. There's a deal on Amazon for the Fossil Watch.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000ANN0ZY/qid=1128462248/sr=8-12/ref=sr_8__i12_xgl23/104-5686365-8947162?v=glance&s=electronics&n=172594

Only $30!!! The strap is Brown though, not black... only bummerz...

[mareuter]

I have to agree with PocketScience - it's a great device but the battery life is pretty awful. With less than 15 minutes of use a day I'm only getting 2 days without needing to charge it.

The screen on mine is slightly clockwise - anyone else have a screen that's a little out of whack?

[dragonsgames]

I can charge mine every night :)

[dragonsgames]

6 days and counting :)

[dragonsgames]

Got here early! Got it today. It is about the size of a normal watch (see the about ;))
It is charging now, it is always fun to have a new toy :p

[Luckygold6]

Awesome! How is it!?!?!

[dragonsgames]

It is cool. Great to show off, and it tells time good too :p

[dragonsgames]

Pros:
PDA on your wrist
Smaller than I expected
Ok screen
Can see it
Don't need to use the stylus
Write on the screen

Cons:
Heavy
So-so battery life
Backlight not as good as it should be
Palm OS 4
No wireless options

So it is a 7 out of 10 device :)

[dmitrygr]

i've had one since it came out

[dragonsgames]

Does the rocker on yours ever come undone? I hope I don't a have a defective unit or something. I can just push it up, and it will go back, but it is weird :( :confused:

[dmitrygr]

it works great. no problems at all

[dragonsgames]

Which model? :)

[dragonsgames]

And don't you hate the backlight? Wish they could have had a PDA backlight. :(

[dragonsgames]

The worst thing seems to be the stylus...
I just use my Clie stylus on it. And it scratches too easy (the Nano wasn't the first thing!!!)

[T-Man]

"Nano wasnt the first thing!!!" ??? You used a stylus on the Nano??? Anyway, I'm getting one too!!! $50 Buy It Now on ebay. Its not heavier than a TE, T3, etc, right!? Is there something I should look out for? What about syncing with Mac without MissingSync??? If it needs MS, then I dont know....(or do I? *cough* torrent * cough*) Anywayyyyy, how big is screen compared to LD? :)

[dragonsgames]

STOP YELLING!!! :p
Get there yet?

[Tam Hanna]

There was an offer at a mayor ESD some time ago. I was tempted, but now am glad that I saved up my $$$ and could buy the E2 out of boredom;). Anyways, anyone of you knows if the unit sold well? Developing for a dead platforum is, um well-not amusing!

Good Evening-

I recieved my Abacus Model AU5005 this evening. My first impression: neat.

I will post more when its initial charge (4-6 hours) is completed.

I paid $31.98 plus $15 shipping from a seller on TheBay.

[dragonsgames]

I am not going to get another Abacus.... :(
I am going to get another watch :D

[T-Man]

Neat, though you could probably charge it for about an hour and it will be fine, its a pretty small battery. ;) I'll have to see whaat model I have...

[dragonsgames]

If the strap is all leather, top and bottom, it is Version 3. If it is leather stitched onto rubber, that is version 2... :D

[T-Man]

WHAT!??!!?!?!? I have a version 2! :-|

EDIT: Nevermind, I think. My strap is leather enclosed by rubber... Anyway, I think v1 is metal. :)

[dragonsgames]

Version 1 has three options: Leather, Metal, and something else. Don't remember :o
Is the inside brown or black?

[T-Man]

Really? I would've liked if it was metal...

Black inside and out.

[dragonsgames]

Version 2, what I had... :(

[T-Man]

Oh....then when did v3 come out?!

[dragonsgames]

I don't know... :(

[glassman]

Well, I got mine today and it's charging. I had to wait for it to warm up a little before charging. It's frickin' cold here (14 deg. F.).

I probably won't get a chance to play with it until Tuesday night though. It's a little bigger than I expected. It is made well (at least in appearance) and packaged very well. Quite professional packaging If I do say. I did notice a price on the box bottom of $199 (LOL). All in all, I happy with the $30 purchase.

[dragonsgames]

Well, cold for us in Houston is 40 deg. F. :D
