So you look at this list, and say so what. Let me tell you this, this PDA has all you need for everyday use. you can make voice recordings of your thoughts, or like me, keep notes during meetings (good when you fall alseep). My place doesn't have wireless LAN so this is the best PDA for me cause of its cheep price ( i got it for a little under 200 pounds). The calender function is actually usefull to keep track of meetings. the other Office programs ahve limited uses but i;ve managed to keep track of my finaces using pocket excel and write a few notes to myself with Pocket word. There is no keyboard but the handwriting recognition works quite fine for me, espcially since my hand writing is quite neat. I also upload my music on the machine and use a Memory card to store it (cause the machine only has 64 usable megabytes) but with my 512 megabyte card i can store quite some music.

LOL, I've had one of these for the past six months and in reading your review I've discovered it can do a whole load of things i didn't realise previously. I'll have to learn to use it properly and do my own review that you can comment on. Happy reviewing.x
