    5 Stars Cassiopeia EM500 Pocket PC - Absolutely Brilliant. 26/02/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Screen Quality, Software, Synchronisation, Battery Life

    Disadvantages Disadvantages 16mb of memory

    I was lokoing at Pocket PC's and as a beta tester for a lot of companies, I managed to get a range of different Pocket PCs to try out. After a few weeks "playing" I decided on the EM500. I can only describe it as first class. With a full 65,000 colours, the display is wonderful. Try playing a few games on it and then try another machine - there is no comparison. The sound quality is good and it comes with Windows Media Player pre-installed. This lets you play all windows format files, not forgetting MP3s. Video is first class, sound is good - and the multimedia side of it is hard to fault. Of ... more

    5 Stars The PDA of a new generation 15/10/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good Indoor Screen, Modern Design.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Only 16Mb Memory Inbuilt.

    Being only 14, it was a hard choice to find a PDA which was good value, could be used in a classroom, and also for gaming. I looked at the Compaq range, which was the most expensive. It was the fastest, but has no built in expansion (which would fill up my already cramped blazer!) So that wasn't an option. I also looked at the HP Jornada, but this again was a problem becasue its lack of software which support the SH3 processor. The last one I looked at was the Casio EM-500. This looked the most modern. It had a good range of software, was at a price which was very competitive, and had a very ... more

    How and from where I buy it: I want to buy PDA so I can manage my data collected in surveys and by other companies and to pass some time by playing games and listing music.

    3 Stars EM-500 Brilliant for the right user 13/04/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellend Screen, quite good processing speed

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Loss of memory if dont charge in time

    Being a multifunctional mini PC, its hard not to find a use for it (when home pc is in family use). Probably better suited for business user as I am a student but I admit I used it a lot still. Latest models and brands are more value for money in this present day (it is getting a little outdated). Watch out for the batery running low or all data will be lost!! Consider buying a memory card as 16mb is not much. Overall I was very impressed when this was bought new. I couldn't imaging the qualityof mp3 playback or movie playback. Also quite a lot of applications and games online to jazz it up ... more
