bywombat2 Jun 6, 2003

17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls

Pros Great feature set, good construction, well-supported

Cons Physically large compared with many PDAs

Recommended it? No

This thing is an ergonomic disaster. It will do the things a reader should, and does them well. However, a very big however, it is very difficult to hold without inadvertently touching the screen at some point. When that happens, it goes bonkers. If one sits on one's deck at... Read full review »
