Product Reviews
Maybe a decent phone would be better - I bought the iPAQ to replace my deceased Palm Tungsten E which I liked, but the new Tungstens have had reports of unreliability.

A useful piece of kit!...
Poor Screen - This product is let down by a very poor screen.

This makes using handwriting recognition software very difficult. It is also worth noting that the current Amazon price is not competitive with the price being quoted by HP....
