Excellent PDA

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 21:43:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnl173 - This PDA is by far the best value for the money. I've been using mine for quite a while. Really enjoy the bright colorful screen. The response time is quick. The only problem I've had is that mine did not come with a Window's certificate of...

cool gadget, OK operation

Wed, 4 Apr 2007 01:49:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author volan1 - The thing that attracted me to the Mio 168 is the fact that is a fully-functional PDA with a built-in GPS receiver, making it completely mobile. Prior to using the Mio 168 I used a Dell Axim X3i PDA and I had a GPS attachment that had to be wired-in and...

Fri, 12 Jan 2007 13:48:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mhebert - Expensive, but great buy! As a tech-driven person, the typical cell phone, mp3 player, digital camera, and scads of notes lining my purse were becoming a real drag. No Longer! I tried another pda-style phone, but was disappointed with the spreadsheet...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mhmedic - I've gone through my third E2 in 5 months! The first developed screen problems in three weeks and was replaced by the retailer (beyond the normal time period). The second was missing part of the factory software and was replaced the next day. The...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author hmoulton - I don't do well with regular calendars, so this works well for me. As long as I enter in my appointments, I can see what is next to do. I just bought mine last night, and I really like it so far. One problem I noticed was that three of my appointments...

Worst Electronic Device of the 21st Century

Tue, 9 Jan 2007 21:33:25 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author fvcostanzo - I was very satisfied for the first 5 months. Then it completely stopped working - for no apparent reason. Nice that it rolled snake eyes so shortly after the warranty expired! Was playing chess one minute, put it down for an hour, and it never came...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hyperm3 - Preface: I am a gadget guy and a cell phone hound. I typically get a new phone every 4-6 months. I've also pretty much been on every type of network. Currently I work at a T-Mobile store and pulled this phone out of inventory to use as my demo line...

Palm

Mon, 8 Jan 2007 13:25:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kellys3ps - I am definitely not what flylady would call a BO (born organized). Far from it. I was forever missing appointments and tearing apart my desk for yellow stickies before I got my palm. Now things are different! I have all of my contact information in...

Why Palm/Treo is a Dying Idea

Sun, 7 Jan 2007 18:14:50 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author univers - When was the last time you considered a Palm/Treo? As cell phones converge, the personal information manager (as a stand-alone device) is dying as well. The concept of a personal information manager, indeed the whole bases for the Palm operating system...

Fri, 5 Jan 2007 14:45:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author suziamo - UPDATE 1/17: 1) If you want a PIM with a camera I'd go with a Treo or other. After the cost of adding things like "cut and paste" which the Dash doesn't have and the ability to take notes, and a full featured Calendar, you're pretty much up there at...

Will NEVER buy another Palm product

Fri, 5 Jan 2007 11:24:39 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gypsyj - I had two Handspring Visors which I destroyed by dropping them. Sigh. I had to replace them with something and since the Handspring used the Palm OS and worked really well I didn't think I wanted to change operating systems. I checked with the few...

Don't Buy the Hype!

Thu, 4 Jan 2007 22:15:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jacoballenwood - I bought this phone and have been very disappointed. The buttons are very small (that was expected), but if you have difficulty with small buttons don't buy this phone. Also, the battery life is terrible. You have to charge it daily, multiple times if...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author garrettb - Think of the Cingular Blackjack smartphone as a suite of 3 products: the device itself, Cingular's 3G network, and the Smartphone OS.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ntense6 - In 16 months I have had 4 Axim's. They all have had the same problem, they won't power up at varying times. I follow the directions for resets and hard starts (erase all info) and they still don't power up. The down time effects my productivity...
