I
had
a US model until one too many drops on the floor finally cracked the
screen:
(
Replaced with a UK model and I find the screen less responsive and
less
clear.
I
did
a bit of digging around to see if it was possible to get a replacement
screen
for the US model before I purchased the new one and it seems there are a
number
of variations on the pronto screen, some much clearer than others.
It's a
matter of luck really which one you end up with.
Re:
Pronto Pro - Having been used to the clarity of an iPaq screen, I was veryd
isappointed when I saw the pro's screen. Not a patch on the iPaq.
Granted, it is only a remote and not a PDA, so you don't need the
same
clarity perhaps, but still.....
I've
got PDAWin and an IR blaster for the iPaq and pronto ccf files look so good
on
that, that I'm trying to source a cheap 2nd hand iPaq to use as a remote
instead
of the pronto!
Cheaper than a Pro at any rate, and more versatile to boot
:-)

Just dug out my Pronto after a while in
hibernation
and I now remember how awful the contrast of the mono screen is. Are any of
the other models any better ? (I know the colour one is). It's not
even
much better with the backlight on.
One of the SWMBO complaints last time was the 'but I
can't see it without my specs' - it seems such a shame in this day of high
contrast displays that they opted for these and I think the new versions
are
just the same. Someone should have done a super contrast screen upgrade or
introduced a 'later years' friendly version.

BTW do we have an acronym for those who are naturally
frightened or rejective of anything technical ?
TWHAT - Those who hate anything technical perhaps
?
