Hi,
I'm new to this board and i hope i'll enjoy surfing around here with you people.

Now to my topic.
I can get a NEC MobilePro 200 handheld computer off of somebody..

but i want anybody who had experience with this device to give me some advice.

How is this device in an overall performance of a windows ce 1 device?

Does the screen is completely black & white? or it can display grey colors too? (i hate windows ce 1.0 with only black & white)

Can i connect to the internet using this device to check and send email? what about some web sites? can it display web-pages that has images? (i mean in monochrome)

can i find software titles for windows ce that will work on this device ?? how about games?

how do you describe this device ? excellent? great? good? ok? or bad?

i can get this device for $30. it sounds cheap.. but..is this device worth this amount of money? or more? or less?

i'll really appreciate it if some people here could answer to all these questions. i'm new to the HPC world and i hope i'm going to like it as many have told me i will.

thanks in advance to anybody who will reply. and also to these who dont

hope to see some answers soon

thanks in advance

Dave

I guess if you are interested in only keeping phone numbers and addresses in it that would be okay, but it is severely limited.

I had one long long ago...it uses a couple AA batteries, so you won't have to worry about buying rechargeable LION type. But it only has 2 meg of memory and if I remember correctly 4 shade gray scale display. No SD or CF slot, but did have a pcmcia type slot, but don't remember if it was type I or type II.

I know it runs WinCE version 1.0....so I think you can see what I am getting at. Great in it's day, and that day is long over.
