I purchased my Viewsonic V35 pda because i was looking for a fairly powerful pda to run games, internet applications and act as a media player, also i didnt have a large budget so the v35 was perfect.
In the box was the pda, the manual, a cradle to connect to your pc, and a usb cable to connect to your pc, also a small pouch to protect the pda from damage. When i saw there was no ac adapter i was fairly worried, but soon realised that the pda would charge from the usb cable, but not the cradle which i found odd.
My first few months of use with the V35 were vey satisfactory, applications installed easily and ran very well, although because of the 32mb of memory which cannot be upgraded, i had to use an sd card to store my applications, which further ate away ate my budget.
After about 2 months of use of th v35 a small grey area apeared on the lcd screen, which would not dissapear, it was slightly irratating but not too bad, however over the next few days the area grew until it covered a good quarter of the screen. I tried to get help from viewsonic to fix this but they no longer manufacture them so they refused. I also found out while searching the internet for a solution that many other people have had this problem with the v35, so it is not just me.

In conclusion i would advise against the Viewsonic V35, it may seem very good value for money, but you will be forced to pay for a new pda very soon when the screen corrupts. It is not worth it.
