Hey peoples,

I'm just wondering if any of you have one of these products and or know somebody who does, and what they are like, they look very neat, and I'm considering ordering one, but I want to know about them from a personal point of view...

I think in this case it may be because you're looking at such a niche product...probably not many of these around. I know I WANT one...but then HAVING one is another matter entirely.

Hope you get some posts

I really like it. I was thinking to buy one ... But ****, that thing is expensive.

For PPC, its by far the best thing ... XP doesnt even compare with Windows Mobile.

Good luck with it!

seems pretty but that keyboard is useless. u cannot really use it like a keyboard which i mean u cannot press the buttons in the middle when u hold the device from its edges...
but on the other hand it features a lot of things and its good that it uses xp instead of windows mobile. this way u don't need to worry about the conversion..

Well... its not really a laptop, and if you change over the battery to a Ni-mH it will fix that problem!
