The thing is that with the dumb Sony decisions we will always need special drivers for all the great CF options... and sony made sure not to make the CF a standard CF interface... __________________ [ o o ] Gil Screenwriter 4 Hire

If sony did not want CF drivers at all it would have removed the capability from the low level OS consequently making it unable to do this at all. They knew it would happen, just a matter of how soon.

The CF Slot doesnt consume lots of power when using CF cards.

BTW - isnt it better to have a little bulge in the device than the whole device being that thick (PPC anyone?) __________________ I got a clié - yay!

As a BB employee in the Wireless section maybe I can help. The Retail Weekly does sometimes show new products coming out but it's used mainly to inform salespeople about existing products and how to sell them.

The NZ was announced in the Merch section when it said the NZ-90 couldn't be put on display until a new holder came for it. The size was too large.

If I got switched over to say Home Theatre I could look at the Retail Weekly and in a few pages get the gist of the products enough to get the buzz words and get me started. That's what it's usually for.

If they integrate wifi or bluetooth on the next one, you won't necessarily need two ms slots.

dphar Registered User Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: Carnation, WA, USA Posts: 123	PANIC!!!!!!!! I guess that I waited long enough! I just dropped my ever faithful T615 and cracked the screen. I can't go another month without a PDA, I would FREAK! And now I'm having problems with my lan connection on my laptop and getting here to do more research. Haven't I read here that BestBuy had a 30 day policy on returns? Well the folks I spoke with said 15 days and if it is not defective there is a 15% restoking fee! Jeez that's $75 on a $499 NX70! Please advise with any help! __________________ Those who dance are considered insane by those who cannot hear the music. - George Carlin

Whoever you spoke to was wrong, its 30 days, no restocking fee.

Their website mentions 15 days and restocking for computers, printers, peripherals, etc but not specifically PDA's. But I spoke with a sales person and a manager and both were emphatic re 15 and restocking. __________________ Those who dance are considered insane by those who cannot hear the music. - George Carlin

patryn121 Member Join Date: Apr 2003 Posts: 45	aChistu is correct but there has been a change in the Service Plan BB Offers. Now if you bring a PDA back in for exchange, outside the original 30 days, you use up the Service Plan and you need to buy a new one. Serena the Best Buy Chick
