Where to find Zaurus SL-6000/SL-5600?

[Cyberdoc1971]

As a disatisfied Treo 650 user and the recent change with Palm to use Windows mobile, I have been considering to use a Sharp Zaurus. I would like a SL-6000 or a SL-5600 for the form factor, but I have not been able to find much outside E-Bay (I don't have a credit card). I am even considering in trading my near-mint Treo 650 GSM (Cingular) and accessories for a Sharp Zaurus. Anyone out there have some ideas or suggestions for me.

It's actually the SL-5600 or SL-6000 I'm interested in for the faster processor and better memory.

The best for puchase I've seen is $800 for the SL-6000L and $500 for the SL-5600. I'm wondering if anyone out there would be interested in a trade for my near-mint Treo 650 with accessories.

Sorry dude, I don't know anything about the Zaurus

I am actually looking at the SL-1000 or SL-3100, but the best prices I can find is $450 for the SL-1000 and $730 for the SL-3100, and not too sure which one to get. One thing I am sure about is I do have my Treo 650 GSM and all accessories up for sale (Currently in the 1SRC Classifieds), and I do not have any plans to use Palm or Mobile Windows anytime soon.

The main difference is that the C1000 hasn't the 4GB microdrive the C3100 has.

I'm really not sure if the SL-3100 is worth the extra money, also the 4gb hdd would suck up the power as well.

Has anyone had any experience with purchasing with Conics? From what I have seen they do the English conversion for the Zaurus for free, and they seem to have best prices and selection of anyone out there. Also, I need to get this Treo 650 bundle sold; is there anyone who is interested? I will even consider a trade, please forward any intrest or questions to: cyberdoc1971@yahoo.com

To get this Treo 650 GSM Bundle sold, I'm even going to thow in my registered copies of Acid Image, Areoplayer, and Kinoma Media Album in since I'm getting out of Palm OS for good.

Wow, good package --- Too bad I love my Verizon Treo ... Have you ever used a Zaraus? Before jumping ship you may want to look up as much data as you can, I have used a SL-6000 .... It's a great little machine, however it is far from perfect, it is definately a cross between windows mobile and palm os ... Fortunately for me, Palm OS is still my favorite.

Actually, I have used a zaurus, and I'm currently running linux on my PC as well. i just like the flexability in the OS.

Scott Melrose,

In October you wrote that you were thinking about getting a Zaurus c3100. I thought you got one of these 9 months ago?
