I dont run a pram battery in my 475, I just use the double flip of the power switch method which bypasses that issue.

Is that CPU socketed ? If it is I wonder if the CPU can be upgraded.

There are a few pictures taken using it on Google, you would assume correctly about poor quality. It will probably never be used being that my phone takes better pictures. Its just a interesting part for a collection if you will.

Speaking about palm III, i picked up a palm III with dock and a palmpix camera attachment at goodwill for $2.99 USD. The palm works, i just need to get a USB to serial adapter to load up software to use the camera, but i expect it also works as well.
