Advantages: Small, light and amazing value.

Disadvantages: No Bluetooth

I ordered on of these a few days ago for under £150 (inc. VAT) as it was an open box product. It arrived the next day with no documents missing (in fact the pack of documentation hadn't been opened) and the PDA was unused along with everything in the box that was supposed to be there.

I was surprised at how small and light it was and the unit didn't get hot even while charging. I'm a university student and I use it mainly to keep track of my lectures and contacts. My campus has many wireless hotspots so it's very easy to get emails and access the net using the built in wifi. Obviously battery life varies with usage but on average I charge it once every few days.

The built in storage and memory is fairly small and things start to slow down if you run too many programs. The lack of storage isn't an issue however as I've ordered a 2 GB SD card which will allow me to use the device as a good sized mp3 player. The 320x240 display is very clear and easy to read.

It lost one star as it doesn't have Bluetooth which would have been useful for transferring files from my phone, although it does have an IR port so it's still possible.

Summary: Great for first time PDA buyers, personal users and small business users.
