Best Palm OS PDA out there10/04/03

Pros:

LOTS of features

Cons:

No video capabilities with built-in camera

After being made aware of all the features this PDA has when compared to it's price, this is by far and away the best buy out there right now. The camera is great for taking impromptu pictures, but a portrait camera it is not. It did come in very handy, however, when I took my daughter to Disneyland....lasted ALL day. Be sure to give the camera a few seconds to adjust to the light level...Great for indoor shots too.

The built-in MP3 player and hi-resolution color display is fantastic. It does very well on battery life, although I wouldn't recommend using the external speaker for too long, as I've found this is the biggest battery drainer.

My only suggestion for improvement is they could somehow put a "reset" pin built into the stylus or something, as I have on a few occasions had the unit lock up on me and I was not able to reset the unit because I couldn't find anything small enough to fit through the little hole.

If you're looking for your first PDA, this is a fantastic place to start. Very user friendly, good styling, intuitive interface and an overall terrific value.
