steve30 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I just thought I would mention that I bought a MessagePad 120 recently. I havn't recieved it yet. It will probably come next week as it is coming from Spain. It is boxed and in mint condition. Only issue is that it is the german model, but that is fine. I'll post more when I get it. I expect it will be very useful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hrududu Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Sounds cool. I've never seen a 120 before. I've got a 100, 2000. and 2100. Definitely cool. Any reason you picked the 120? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve30 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 No perticular reason. The fact that is was a good price and came boxed and in mint condition were good. A 2000/2100 would have been good but they tend to be rather expensive and I don't really need it to be very fast. I would just like to be able to make notes and do writing and whatnot on it. Looking forward to getting it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hrududu Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Ahh, sounds good. I found the handwriting recognition was 100x better on the 2000 than on the MP100, but since you can run OS 2.0 you should be good to go. They make great little tools. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve30 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I got my 120 last week I am getting there with finding my way around it now. It has been quite useful, but the handwriting recognition is a bit rubbish. I'm guessing that is because, being a german model, it compares my words to german ones and not english ones. I am quite happy with just writing on it though and not using the recognition for most things so it isn't really a problem. I will post a few pictures of it when i get chance.

~Coxy Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Which OS is on your 120? Newton OS 1.x is generally regarded as terrible. I sent a Newton 120 2.0 firmware to a member in the US ages ago, unfortunately if didn't survive the trip and wouldn't work in his MP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve30 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 This one has 2.0. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
