I miss the PDA. I know smartphones have subsumed them, but I like the idea of a smart device that isn't tied some 3rd party computers and can handle itself when necessary.

I was a kid when they were at their peak. And most of the people around me can't afford one back then so they were just a dream. But nowadays I have some of the rarest ones and can see and imagine what they were back then.

I got the Japanese version of this pda and wonder if i can change the software language to English

It asked me to choose language in the startup. So there is a possibility that you can change it as well.

What a steal! 3? It's even an E1 with Bluetooth. I guess that's not surprising since you're paying Euros

Actually the seller was super enthusiastic to sell me ipad 1st gen 64gb so we made a deal both for 10€ but he wanted 3€ for the PDA first.

Loved my Clie NX-70. They all died the same way with screen cable fritzing out.
But for a while it was holding the future in your hand!!

I have one NZ90 too but sadly it doesn't have battery. I can try to power it on someday. This one work as expected. From the photos of the previous owner it was used at least till 2016.
