Laur,

Must Haves:

2 x 4 meg flash memory cards, one for apps and data and another for backup,
battery tray, a couple of batteries that can be re-celled and a carry case
of some sort. I use the Columbia What-A-Butte,
http://www.cerfbag.com/columbia/product_detail.asp?id=104 . The main
compartment holds a 2100 and my checkbook style wallet with no problem and
the zippered front compartment holds 2 batteries and 6 Flash Cards.
Personally I would skip the serial connection with cables altogether because
of the numerous issues and just use IrDA. Go to www.40hz.org and download
the .pkg's for using infra-red.

Nice to haves:

Wireless Net card, 8 meg or larger Flash cards, a keyboard, BT in
conjunction with a BT GPRS enabled cell phone with the appropriate drivers
and someone to write custom packages!

Regards,

Paul Curtis

IS THAT item already gone? i didnt see it just now. i did however see a
research team in nc selling a lot of 2 for 200 no reserve and a lot of 3 for
100 with a reserve. and i saw this crazy one for $850 bin it is supposedly
still in the box sealed....sum crazy seller in canada sumthin navigator. im
thinkin only a neewbie that has no idea what he is buying is bidding on it
and on top of that there is a reserve too, but in his defence if you use the
bin there is free shipping and a bunch of s/w u can get for free from unna
or any number of sites online, aint he a nice one. ;-)

You might me getting a bit ahead of yourself...

I certainly do agree that there is something fishy, and I wouldn't
recommend anyone sending money.

Still, I think chilling until we really know what's what is a better
idea.

If they really were a scam. I think they would have puts lots more on
at once.

Did you email the stwhite_at_rti.org address that appears in the ebay add?

Hoping your wrong,
marty
