Not as good as hoped


Got it for its CF + SD expansion and Wi-Fi.

However reading/writing into CF or SD can be slow. Took me a minute per MB to to back up into CF, and halve of that into SD. I have hope to use this unit for watching my digital photograph... but it's too slow for that.

In addition, ActiveSync connection tends to to drop even if the unit is powered up and sitting in cradle.

Found myself doing a lot of resetting on this device.

Video playback is diappointingly slow. (I was trying to play back 320x240 WMV on media player)

Using now to keep my contacts and dictionary.

6.5

Verdict

Although the new XScale processor is a bit of a disappointment, this high-powered handheld is still worth the price.
