Outstanding PDA!

This is a really great PDA. Because of its size, this is really the first PDA I can carry in my breast pocket and not feel like a geek. PROS: Samsung's 266MHz processor makes it one of the fastest PDAs on the market, faster than most 400MHz X-Scale. models. Most discussion forums on the Internet rave about the speed of this PDA, putting it in first or second place among PDAs. The screen is great: very bright, excellent contrast, rich colors. SEE MINUTES - The SD slot is SDIO, so you can add many devices besides memory cards, such as: B. a WLAN adapter, etc. - Integrated Bluetooth. Perfect if you have a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone, or you can buy a Bluetooth USB dongle for your PC and cheaply connect to the internet around the house. A part of the ROM is available for backups (up to 14 MB), so you can save your data even if the battery dies. MINUTES: - The screen has a problem: if you don't look in the middle (top or bottom), the screen turns a little yellow. The severity varies from one to one, and it does not bother someone at all, but someone cannot bear it. I personally don't see that as a problem at all. - No cradle, no blanket. At this price I can understand that the cradle wasn't included (just a sync cable) but it should at least come with a basic slipcase. Or, better yet, the screen should have a cover like the old HP Jornada 560 series that was so lacking. or you can buy a Bluetooth USB dongle for the PC and cheaply connect to the Internet throughout the house.
