Unregistered Guest Posts: n/a	yeah, i can tell from the picture the flash is not as bright... seriously, smaller does not necessarily mean it is weaker... without specs, you can only guess (but since the unit is cheaper, it is a good guess!) greg

AndyJapan Registered User Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: Tokyo, Japan Posts: 213	I do not want to offend NZ-users, but I personally think that the NZ90 is too big and too heavy. I had a NR70 and switched to the NX60 and was already annoyed by the CF slot on the backside. For me, a PDA has to replace my filofax, MP3 player, etc. which means that I want to carry it around. The NR/NX series still fits in the pocket of my jacket or shirt, but the NZ would have to be carried around in the purse. Not really handy.

From the spec. page, usable memory is only 16MB. I wonder that another 11MB where it is..

They have a 32MB chip in there cause is cheaper than a custom sized 20MB chip. They are using POS5.0 cause they either like somthing in it or dont like something in POS5.2 __________________ I got a clié - yay!
