Monster PDA
by egnite on October 27, 2005
Pros: Can pretty much do everything with this device
Cons: Terrible battery life and slow speed for a multimedia device
Summary: Other than having to buy an optional wireless-lan flash card, this all-in-one device can do almost everything you can think of except you can't do multimedia functions for too ...
Summary: Other than having to buy an optional wireless-lan flash card, this all-in-one device can do almost everything you can think of except you can't do multimedia functions for too long because it drains the battery as if it was supplying electricity to an airconditioner. You can take only 3 or 4 flash photos before the PDA has to be shut down or recharged. Video functions are fair and I use the 2005 GPS Street Atlas with bluetooth but processing speed for pictures and video is slow. One multimedia function that has great quality is the sound recording. Both the voice-only and the video sound recording is at just the right sensitivity and is playback sound is very clear. This is truly a 'swiss army knife' of PDA's and can be molded to do almost anything you want, but don't expect carry it around with you on long trips with its huge dimensions and bad battery life.

Even makes me a ham sandwich!
Pros: This thing does everything! The quality of the built-in camera rivaled the quality (at the same resolution) of my Sony DSC. The huge screen is easy to read, and the built-in keyboard makes creating Word documents less of a chore. You can even multi-task a
Cons: The camera sucks battery power, so it would not be a good replacement to a digital camera (unless you want to carry 4 or 5 spare batteries...) It's huge and heavy. Heavy is of no concern to me as long as it clips to my belt, but when the screen is flipped

Too pricey, too many flaws
Pros: Great overall features - a true powerhouse PDA. Great for someone who wants everything in one.
Cons: Price is one - overall, it's pretty expensive. Wireless internet with this thing is a joke as well. The need to add on so many programs just to get this thing to work right has become downright ridiculous. Internet reception, even close to a broadcaster,

Great wow factor
Pros: Verry cool, All your friends will want to go out and get one. People will see it and wow. when you tell them the price they will cringe. although i only paid 200$ for mine. if you dont realuy use the camcorder or the camera feature you will love it.
Cons: Bad battery life. the camcorder feature it is sloow to start up. the communication port only uses sony's 802.11b wireless card. NO Compact flash , yuo are stuck with using memory stick, which sucks because its twice the price CF.

Flaws discovered after months of real use...
Pros: This is a great all in one tool that has already been supercoded by another Clie. Definately a tool for someone who does not want to carry around a laptop, yet wants everything.
Cons: There are some serious issues with battery performance and the camera. Firstly after only a few months the infoLithium battery is performing very badly. It does not support a charge for long, it drains very quickly. According to the battery status, the

If you can get a deal, GET THIS PDA!
Pros: Brilliant, large screen Almost every feature imaginable (and a few you haven't) slots for both CF and Memory Stick
Cons: Bulky Expensive (though I got one from Best Buy for $420 NIB) Battery drains quickly in camera-mode
-
The BEST of everything rolled into one!
Pros: Excellent clamshell design that protects the screen display and prevent buttons from being accidentally pressed. Screen resolution is excellent: 16-bit (64K colors). Built-in QWERTY keyboard. This PDA has provided different options for data input: built-i
Cons: Battery life is a bummer. They should consider adapting a better technology in powering this device.

AY CARUMBA !!
Pros: This is an amazing piece of equipment, I love it but the only problem is the camera, it takes it own damn time to start while the ladies make-up fades :)
Cons:
-
Excellent Pocket PC!
Pros: Keyboard Entry and large high resolutioin screen. Camera with flash is great!
Cons: Not much Palm 5.0 software written to take advantage of the full screen. Video is only so so.
