Summary

I've never owned a PDA before, but wanted one for a long time. It seems the older I get the more I'm expected to remember and keep track of, yet the shorter my memory gets. Ugh. What is one to do? Why talk the hubby into buying a PDA, of course...

Strength

Great included software, excellent battery life, good starter PDA

Weakness

No replaceable battery, poor choice of included cover

Bottom Line

Highly recommended as a first PDA or a replacement for an older/outdated unit. Priceless convenience and usability.

Summary

I have owned many many pocket devices over the years, some were better than others, this one falls somewhere in between. The NEC Mobilepro, with it's large keyboard that was lovely to type on, entering information was a breeze. It's not all that great...

Strength

Small and light, somewhat powerful features.

Weakness

My speaker in the unit failed. Doesn't come with wireless internet.

Bottom Line

Think twice about purchasing this particular model since mine seemed like quality control was asleep at the wheel. The computer still works but speaker doesn't work anymore.
