I bought my PDA from ebay, for a discount price; I didn't want to pay a lot of money for a PDA and I wanted a really good one. The hx2490 comes with Windows mobile 5.0 which is the newer version of the windows CE operating system. The processor is slightly faster than it's predecessors and has wifi and bluetooth aswell. This means that you can quickly use any wireless station and hook into that network, or transfer documents to your phone or computer for example. It comes with a USB charger and a protective cover as well as many other cool gadgets like the docking station. I use my PDA every day and have had no problems with it, of course I have dropped it many times like I do many things and it still manages to work. I think I would replace it if I did damage it but I don't think I would pay the full price for one. Unfortunately the battery is very bad. My PDA is always not turning on due to having no battery power. This seems to be an issue with me since I leave it in the cradle so I don't understand why the battery seems to lose power quickly. Leaving the screen on 10% brightness makes it last longer too. The wireless is really easy to use, simple click to connect to networks either ad hoc or infrastructure. Make sure you turn it off if you want to maintain good battery power though.
