Kick-butt 130s, I wanted one so bad when they came out. I think the only
thing a 130 could do that a Seahorse can't is IR printing. The cell
phone module is useless, but the wireless modem has a range of almost a
1/4 mile. The funky IR module is kinda cool. You need the AC
adaptor/charger to use it, it uses a nonstandard batt. pack. If it
doesn't have some really high collectable value, I might trade my spare
2100 for 2.
Cool find,
Travis
