Asus A626 3.5" PDA Love it August 24, 2008
Preformed much better than expected. I was able to find lots of free software. Skip the windows media player and install TCPMP instead, plays well and did'nt have to convert most of video I already had.Only complaint is battery life. That would be more tolerable if I could pick up additional batteries and had a way to charge them. Might even buy one for my daughter now the price is $30.00 cheaper. Amazon overnight shipping was really overnight, I had it in less than 24 hours.
 A Very Nice PDA August 24, 2008
I've owned a few PDA's in my life (like most of you). I was at the point where I bought into the idea that a phone with pda qualities would satisfy my need for constant information management and communication. I was wrong. I realized I just wanted my phone to make and receive calls. Enter the Asus 626. This is a sleek, user friendly device with a killer screen and WM6 standard. I don't use the PDA like I used to, but when I need it, it's there. The bluetooth connects perfectly. Wi-Fi connections are a snap, and I can surf the net in portrait or landscape at the touch of a button. The media player is pretty good, too.
Maybe in a year or two (or when the bugs are worked out on the I-Phone), I will try the smartphone that does everything again. For now, I'm happy with my Asus.
I'm pleased! August 17, 2008
It does everything I expected, often better than expected. It came with Mobile 6 preinstalled, but that's a mixed blessing. The only annoyance, and it's a slight annoyance, was needing Outlook 2007 for complete synch'ing. I still prefer Office 2003 to Office 2007 - and WinXP to Win Vista.
I have not been pleased with HP PDAs, as they don't last long. I'm hoping to have better luck with Asus.
Delivered updated to WM 6.0 August 12, 2008
This product is fine quality, but it came already updated to WM 6.0. I needed a device running WM 5.0 so the automatic upgrade did not serve my purposes. If this matters to you you should check it out.
Looks good, feels good August 12, 2008
I don't know a lot about PDAs, pocket pcs, iphones, whatever.
But I do know that this one is pretty good at what it does... it works. It starts up immediately, shuts off immediately, recognizes your handwriting impressively well. It runs programs quickly and effortlessy. I've read a lot of other good reviews on it as well, but I don't know enough to compare it to other handhelds.
My only minus is the picture/video quality. Compared to iphones and itouches, it's definitely below the bar.
Buy this if you want something good for work or school.
Buy an iphone/itouch if you want entertainment.
