Hi All
Is it worth up grading to a WIZ I have a GP2X F200B at the moment
While I don't have one, I have considered it. The Wiz is great for someone who has a gp32 or neither a gp32 or a gp2x, but I don't think it's a compelling upgrade for an existing gp2x owner. It's not much faster, or at least at this point, nobody has found a glaring firmware bug causing slowdown. The screen is smaller, but higher quality, but to be honest, unless you play outside a great deal or want to use it to read book or watch a lot of movies, the oled screen doesn't make up for the size. The software is nearly identical at this point with the advantage being things would be slightly faster on the Wiz. Battery is a mixed blessing because the wiz has the built in battery that can charge via usb and the charge lasts longer, but it's a battery that might not be around in 5 years. OTOH, I can still get batteries for my ipaq so a custom battery might not mean you can't get it 10 years later.
I've never used it, so I can't comment on quality of dpad, but if you prefer a dpad, that is an advantage for the wiz.
Overall, at this point, there is no compelling reason for me to upgrade, but maybe you weigh the advantages of the wiz to make the wiz worth it. But I thought you might appreciate the feedback of someone in the same position.
