LG KS360 Unlocked Phone with 2 MP Camera, Bluetooh Stereo and MP3, Video Player--International Version with No Warranty (Pink) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i ordered it, it came in how many ever days it said it would come, it came brand new as it said it would and im enjoying the phone very much.
its small, cheap, and very easy to use. there's no new technology to it like android or something, its all the basics on the menu but it's got a full QWERTY keyboard. texting is incredibly easier with this phone and much more enjoyable, its also probably one of the smallest full QWERTY keyboard phones there are,
i hope this helped!

HP iPAQ 4355 Pocket PC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned almost every iPaq made to date plus a few other brands and without a doubt, the 4355 is the best by far. Yes it is a bit bigger then most of the other iPaq's, but I do not have a problem with that as it fits so well into my hand and just "feels right" A 1560 mAh battery comes standard with the unit which is about 500 mAh more then most PDA's resulting in a good 3-4 days usage before recharging. I spent once over two hours on WiFi at a local Starbucks and the battery was still going stronge. The WiFi setup could not be simpler, just turn on the unit, select WiFi ON and it has a "snooper" built in and will find the Wifi, add all the correct addressing information and you just connect right away. Takes no more then 10 seconds to handle this. The BlueTooth works perfectly on my HP printer at up to about 30 ft and the other nice thing I found is that the Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard has a universal Bluetooth transmitter/receiver and and I could hook into this with ease for ActiveSync. Along with that, I purchased a 512 MB SD card, a beautiful leather case by the company Piel (www.ipaqcases.com) and with those options I am all set. I find I actually use the keyboard alot and its very neat as its got a "Timex Indaglo" color blue backlight for the keyboard which is very handy.
I use the unit for alot of large JPG pictures and they look stunning on the display and also maps created by MapPoint 2004 for Pocket Streets and its amazing ow fast this unit will open even a very large map (17 MB) The screen can be read outside in bright sunlite (well as bright as it gets here in Seattle) which I cannot say for many other PDA's. The programs just "snap open" (e no waiting and rare to see the hourglass symbol) This PDA does of course run the latest PPC software which is called Pocket PC 2003 Premium. Only bad thing, but this is the custom tese days with PDA's is no manual (partial one on the CD) So if you are new to Pocket PC's I would get something "Everything you have always wanted to go with your iPaq" by Frank McPherson. Also its neat as the battery charger unit with the built in USB 2.0 Interface (will run USB 1 also) has a second slot for an extra battery if you want. This kind of option it usually not available or if it is, sells for a rather high price. IF you do not think you will use the keyboard that is built in, there always is basically the same model without the keyboard and that is the iPaq 4155. But this unit does come with a smaller battery (1000 maH I beleive) and I really like the long life of the one that comes with the 4355. Usually I can also find a good number of things I don't like, but not in this model ! A clear winner in the PDA world !

Dell Mini-9 PDA Win XP 1GB Memory 16GB Solid State Drive w/Webcam, WiFi and Bluetooth Obsidian Black Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of many laptops in the house. (Currently five laptops and a sixth on life support for the kids.) Both my wife and I have a Dell mini 9. This computer fills the void of portability perfectly. As was mentioned by another reviewer, buy a cheap version and do aftermarket upgrades for the best deal. I upgraded to 2G of RAM and put in a 64GB solid state hard drive. Because of limitations (I believe placed by Windows not Dell the optimal configuration cannot be purchased directly from Dell - unless you buy the Linux version and install your own version of Windows -assuming you have an extra version lying around.)
Depending what you do with your laptop this is a wonderful laptop for the price. The limited SSD (solid state drive) size does present some problems if you are dealing with large files such as images and videos; however to be used for internet access, e-mail, and word processing this is just fine. I wish I had something this compact when I went to college. Keep in mind that too many programs will quickly eat up the space of the smaller hard drives.
The small size also comes with a small screen. This may be obvious, but apparently I have a lot of crap (ahem, useful tool bars) that I place on my word processor program and browser program. This does limit "useful" space on the screen.
I have found the battery life to be in line with most laptops. It handles being carried around in a bag every day well enough. Having owned many Dells, they can be finicky. I usually buy the support plan (Although, I didn't on my mini 9) I have gotten my money's worth on some computers and never used it on others.
This laptop has limitations and would not be my choice as an only/first laptop unless it was a real on the go application or for college use.

Compaq iPAQ H3975 Color Pocket PC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had the Palm III, Palm V, Palm VII, and a BlackBerry so I consider myself a long-time PDA user. I've had the 3975 for about 2 months; here are my observations.
- Screen is the best I've seen, in all types of lighting.
- Battery life is good, but you can not swap out the battery, it is rechargable.
- The ac adapter used for charging comes with a small "adapter" that is needed to charge the device when the cradle is not used, e.g. when traveling. On a recent trip, I brought the charger then realized I did not bring the "adapter". I had to go to an electronics store to buy one...at least it was cheap.
- It is heavier and bulkier than Palm's, not something you can carry in your shirt pocket.
- Includes Bluetooth funcitonality. I was able to download my entire phone list database to my cell phone (also Bluetooth enabled) in about 2 minutes (200-ish numbers). I've also used it with my PC after I got a Bluetooth USB AdapterPairing the iPaq with other devices is a bit klugey but once you've figured it out, it's good.
- Comes with infrared also. It DOES NOT work with a PALM (atleast I have not gotten it to). I have used it with my PC however.
- It interfaces smoothly with MS Outlook (synched via USB port). I use it to download emails and read/respond in meetings or on planes etc. The emails are dumped back into Outlook and sent off at next "autosynch" when attached to PC.
- If it had BlackBerry "always on" capability, it would be much more useful with email.
- It uses MS Pocket PC 2002 OS. I have not had any issues with it, one soft re-boot when internet explorer locked up (iPaq still worked fine, but could not launch explorer).
- HOWEVER, do not expect this OS to function like PC-based Windows. It does have similar look, but does function differently. You have to get used to cycling through windows that are open to get at what you want...not bad, but not like PC-based windows...I still like it better than PALM OS.
- There are several different methods for inputting info; Palm-like character recognition, handwriting recognizer that recognizes long-hand, and a small keyboard-like pad.
- Software is decent and a lot is available in places like Avant-go, apps that are usually free for trial, then [a small fee].
- MS Word is good, Excel is difficult to use unless you want to see a handful of cells at a time; I downloaded a program from Avant-go for viewing ppt slided, great unless there's a lot of text, almost impossible to read. MS Outlook is great, email, calendar come across perfectly. MS Reader is good, screen has enough resolution to make reading easy on the eyes.
- It comes with SD card for adding memory, programs, etc. An expansion kit for Compact Flash is available, should have been included on a device at this price range.
- There are expansion packs that slide on to the device for adding GPS, modem and ethernet hook-up etc. I have not tried them.
- Comes with several other features, voice recognizer (you can include audio in notes, docs..), and other things; see the descriptions on sites like Amazon.com, thier all fine and not worth going into.
Overall, it's my favorite PDA to date. If it had "always-on" email capability, it would get 5 stars from me.

HP Ipaq 210 Enterprise Handheld Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The review is applicable to the 211 as well, since the all the devices in the 200 series are exactly the same.
UPDATE: See 'major problem' below
This device has become absolutely ESSENTIAL for me. This is a laptop without the bulk, and although there are limitations in surfing the web via mobile, the portability can't be beat. I can whip this out while I'm shopping, which I certainly can't do with a laptop or a netbook.
With some very good 3rd party apps, I am able to keep my finances straight, make as many custom lists I want, make handwritten notes, make type written notes. I jot things on the fly, whereas before I'd do it on scraps of paper, and then lose them, I can also make typrewritten notes and organize tham any way I please.
I can also modify photos, type letters in Word, open up spreadsheets.
The native WM apps, with exception of Office, like Notes, Media Player, IE, Calendar/Contacts, File manager aren't very useful to me, everything I do is mostly with third party sw like ListPro, Phatnotes, Phatpad, ewallet, NF Browser,Rescoe Explorer, etc.
I'm a Palm owner from 1996, but after trying the Palm TX for 5 days, I decided I had enough of Palm, which was a good decision since they've abndoned their PDA line.
Now, I'm an affirmed WM user, which despite its bugs and lockups, BLOWS the Palm out of the water, IMO. And unlike the Apple iTouch, it offers a number of ways to enter data beside the virtual keyboard. Also, it offers more apps than the Apple.
I hope (REALLY HOPE)HP continues with the PDA line, and with improvements to the 200 series. The screen on the 200 series is to die for. I can read electronic docs without any trouble, and scale the fonts larger or smaller to increase the space utilization.
The unit is large, but so what, it makes the smartphones look like toys with their tiny screens. Oh, the battery life. Using mostly Word, and other text based apps with occasional views of photos, playing lo level games like bubble breaker, and moderate access to SD card, I got anywhere from 8-10 hours. Not bad, considering this thing has to power the VGA screen.
The power utilization is better than with the 110 unit which I had prior to my getting the 210.
My 210 is a:
-ebook reader
-video/mp3 player
-TV viewer
-photo viewer/editor
-web surfer
-weather forecaster
-finance organzer
-list keeper
-handwritten note taker
and organizer
-appointment reminder
-game center
-secure records keeper of websites, passwordsMinor quibbles:
1.Unlike the Ipaq 110, on this you need to put the stylus ALL THE WAY into the well. Otherwise it'll come flying out. With the 110, which I had also owned at one time, you could put the stylus in part of the way, and it would stay. I've gotten in the habit of doing this with my 210, because it's annoying to dig in to get the stylus out every time. I wish they'd designed the stylus and well like they did on the 110
2.The cable is a MESS. One part of it is the AC adapter with it's own cable. To that, you have to hook up the cable that actually connects to the bottom of the device for charging. The end result, the cables NEVER fail to get tangled up with each other and with other cables I may have on the power strip
3. Windows has its usual problems with lockups,etc. Nice to know things don't change.
4. As with Windows on the desktop, I'd LOVE to be able to UNinstall the junky apps like clearvue pdf reader, media player, IE, File manager, and free up some memory, but alas.
Major problem:
1. There's a process called gwes that seems to balloon in size everytime you surf the web, and eventually will cause an out of memory error. It's a pain, and then you have to reboot. There are definitely limitations in web surfing on this, and I use another browser, since IE is so bad. GWES controls the gui. The longer you have the browser open, and the longer you surf, gwes (along with my third party browser) gobbles up more and more memory.
Even after you shut the browser, gwes may not necessarily release the memory. Definitely frustrating, esp when you're waiting for a webpage to load, to get the out of memory error, and then you have to soft reset.
Nothing's perfect I guess.
Also, a generic problem with mobile web surfing, sites like Amazon don't load up like they would with all the bells and whistles on a regular browser. For example, you won't be able to access your Amazon account on the mobile browser.
However, this is a problem inherent in mobile browsing in general, and not a problem with the 210
UPDATE 6/21/10 Lack of memory. MAJOR drawback.
I alluded to this before, about certain processes being a memory hog. HP should have added a LOT more memory than they did, esp since it's a an Enterprise model. I have a WM phone which has more memory than this, but the screen is like a blackberry. Be warned, you will get lockups because of inadequate memory as you surf the web.
I have to put it down to 3 stars for this.
