Kohjinsha Upgrade Time

Well, I made the "mistake" of visiting Conics.net today and discovered that they are now carrying the Kohjinsha SH811W. The SH811W is 800MHz version of the SH series in pearl white and with an English keyboard layout. I had toyed with the idea of upgrading from the SA to the SH, but the previous 600MHz models didn't offer enough of a speed boost to make it worthwhile for me. But 800MHz, an English keyboard, and easing restrictions on laptops with integrated webcams where I work made this just too tempting to pass up.

So I placed the order and knowing Conics.net's crazy-fast shipping I should have it early next week. Once I've had some time to really test it out, I should be able to post an SA vs. SH head-to-head comparison. I've seen plenty of SH reviews, but few that compare it hands-on with the SA models.

And that also means that, assuming I'm happy with the new model, my old SA1F (complete with upgraded keyboard) will go up on the auction block. If you've been wishing to get an Kohjinsha SA model that you can actually type on, keep an eye on this space.
