The widescreen for browsing, email, and Wordprocessing appeal to me, especially if it has WiFi. The lack of a CF slot or a fancy camera is not important. The cost is not a concern. I would like the UX to have a slightly bigger screen and school is still out yet on how it performs, speed wise. Besides, the NX is now boring to look at ! __________________ Cheers!

It would be for me too, if it had hires+. But that will be fixed in the TC2, march 2004 :-) Including OS6 of course

My upgrade cycle is about 2 years no matter what else comes out. I will not get caught in the constant upgrade mentality; you end up spending way too much money. Plus, I really don't see the need to 'upgrade' to the UX; 1. No portrait orientation, absolutely necessary in tablet mode. 2. Keyboard; still too small for touch typing. I can surf the web wirelessly on my NX70V, surf and post on the forums while typing on the XT keyboard. The UX really doesn't offer me any capabilities that I don't have with my NX/WL100/XT keyboard, while giving up portrait mode and the (limited) CF slot.

It even included a smart card slot which would work like a credit card over WAP services in Germany. Of course Sharp copied the design and so all you guys think they were the first but you're very wrong. Bottom line is I like the fact that I can have a keyboard and touchscreen without it being a brick. Only thing is the price which I would never pay, even if I had the money and the fact that it is version one. As someone already said, it's never worth buying version one. One more thing though, as my phone is Bluetooth with GPRS I don't have the need for Wi-FI so I'd really actually get the UX40 which I hope will sell at a good price in europe although considering the fact that I doubt many people over here would go for the WI-FI anyway they might just actually push the price up on this one... __________________ To Be The Man You Got To Beat The Man.
