Pros Fast Processor, Beautiful Big Screen, Built-In Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, Windows Mobile 2003

Cons Hefty Price of $649, Wi-Fi Consumes Power

Recommended it? Yes

I'm a 23 year old engineering student whose main interest is cars and PDA's, and this is the mother of all PDA's.

Pros Full featured, works well at first.

Cons Doesn't work after it matures.

Recommended it? No

I was sent a refurbished model, which was unable to go wireless upon arrival, so I was sent another refurbished model. This worked well for about a year...just until the... Read full review »

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 »
