I purchased this PDA because at the time i did not have a laptop and i wanted something for browsing whilst not at a PC.
My first impressions of this product were that it is really user friendly. within minutes i had registered it to myself and was browsing the internet wirelessly (via my own wireless router).
Look and feel: i think this is a quite good looking product, it fits nicely in your hand and the pen that comes with it is surprisingly sturdy and doesnt get sticky if you have it in your hand for a while.
Memory: the base memory ont he PDA is of an ok size, enough to store documents and photos; but i would reccomend upgrading the memory on it, which is really easy to do and quite cheap.
Ease of use: i think its quite intuitive. navigation is smooth and stable and the screen on mine has survived a couple of droppings and a child playing with it.
overall, quite good for a PDA. i have also heard that it can second as a sat-nav. the only major drawback is a low battery life.
