Newbie Q: Casio BE-300 CASSIOPEIA Pocket Manager...

[2002F1Fan]

The Casio BE-300 CASSIOPEIA Pocket Manager comes with windows CE 3.0. Is it possible to upgrade to Pocket PC 2002 OS??? What is the newest version of CE, and is it as good as Pocket PC 2002 if it is not available??? Can you give me a good website that explains what i can do with the newest version?


I am a newbie and really need something cheap like the Casio BE-300 and basically was just wondering what the OS was... ( I want to be able to play MP3's and watch videos for entertainment purposes, other than business).

Thanks so much.

No, the Be-300 cannot be upgraded to PPC. If you want something inexpensive, check out the Toshiba e310. You can find some real deals. Or even go with one of the PPC 2000 devices that are extremely cheap now that all the current models are PPC2002. (For example, the Casio E-125 maybe). I think even those would be better deals than going with the one of a kind Be-300; you wouldn't be able to run any of the hundreds of wonderful apps that there are out there for PPC.

Just my opinion, but PPC is wonderful. :!:

Can u list some of the Pocket PC's that come w/ PPC2002???
I have no idea where to look. lol Also, what is the cheapest I can go?? If i can get a good PPC with a good OS and can do almost everything the PPC2002 OS can do, which should I get? I'm talking cheap... so be reasonable if you can Please.

Thanks,

As for the Casio E-125, I think Amazon has it for 249.00--free shipping too.

As for the current PPC 2002 devices with the 206 arm cpu, their prices are all falling right now and will continue to do so, as the X-scale devices are coming out fast and furious. You should keep your eye on this site, and others too such as Pocket PC Passion, for info and news about deals, software, etc.

Good luck with your quest.
