Advantages: Camera, Navigation options, styling Disadvantages: bit pricey, E2C button gets in the way on Tetris
...new PDA we chose the Fujitsu Siemens Pocket Loox 720. Principal competition to this is the HP iPaq range so why did we choose the Loox. The decision was based on features and styling.
Definitions
---------------
Firstly lets me define (I get commented on for doing techie reviews) so skip this if you already know what I'm talking about. A PDA is a Personal Digital Assistant. This is a small handheld device with a screen and some sort of navigation ... ...and Mobile 2005.
The Fujitsu Loox 720 runs Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition. 2005 would have been nicer (there are a few tweaks) 2003 first version is a definite NO.
Features:
------------
1.3 megapixel camera with flash - well you don't get this on your iPaqs. It's a pretty good camera and handy to have on your PDA. It supports video, photo and message photo - some of the clever things such as panoramic and burst are missing though.

Advantages: Long battery life, excelent screen, lots of ram Disadvantages: breakable stylus, expensive, no Windows Mobile 5, poor camera lens
I have had this device for over 2 years now and it is still one of, if not the best PDAs available. the VGA screen is incredibly sharp, has a bright backlight (adjustable) and good colour reproduction. the viewing angles are good, but not so good as the HP hx4700.
battery lasts 1-2 days of usage personally (bits of wifi, BT, video and games as well as general note taking etc) and about 5 hours of constant heavy use. the processor is fast enough, ... ...of the few PDAs to have 128MB RAM which means you can have many applications open without too much slowdown and memory issues. i personally love the jog-dial it has for 1 handed use,but rarely use the camera altho it's much better than my phones.
all round excelent PDA if you have no need for cell phone functions ...
