Your WristPDA has a dead battery? Why don’t you get one of McLien’s battery-mods (you can reach him @ Nexave.de and @ 1Src)? Prices are reasonable and my Abacus runs for a whole week on a single charge!
About this”watch”: I’d buy one if they make drivers for the mobile OSes I use most: WebOS and BB-OS…
Hi owl,
thank you so much for talking back.
The issue I have is that I don’t have the balls to do the soldering myself…
All the best

Hi owl,
may I ask how much the upgrade was?

It was (afair) around 40 Euros – including the batteries (he fitted 2 in the watch) and a bigger backplate made out of carbon fiber and epoxy. I have pictures of it somewhere; I’ll post a link as soon as I find them…

Hi owl,
maybe I will get in touch with him after Christmas…
All the best
