For a first-time PDA user it's ideal


I have beed using one of these now for 3 weeks and apart drom some decidedly dodgey Destinator 3 mapping instructions it's very good. A word to Acer though: please get the latest maps from Destinator -- these are a bit old (2003). Also Destinator don't include toll road or congestion charge warnings, so if you need these don't buy this package -- get a TomTom system instead as you can integrate them into the PoI (Points of Interest), which you can't on Destinator (very poor decision).

The Acer N35 as a PDA is excellent value for money. For someone looking for a PDA for the first time it's easy to use and with a couple of add-ons downloaded and installed it's a good tool. Shame that Bluetooth is not integrated though, as it restricts conncection to infrared or via a sync cable.
You will need to get a better case though the one supplied is very basic.
All in all not a bad entry package but could be improved upon --- Acer bluetooth please on future GPS combo PDA's

Verdict

This well-priced Windows Mobile-based handheld/GPS combo could prove attractive, if you're prepared to overlook a moderate specification and some issues with the bundled navigation software.
