"Perfect On the Road for 8-hour-deposition Warrior!" on by hlaureles
Pros: Battery life; usable thumb keypad; Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
Cons: No number lock. Wish IR was on the top, though it works. High-priced, though not compared to the laptop it replaced for me!
Summary: I love it! As a lawyer tired of lugging my 23-pound laptop and all my other heavy stuff to depositions at various sites, I wanted a pocket PC that would replace my laptop. No more searching for plug-ins; the battery life on this thing is so good that I can type notes during an 8-hour deposition without worrying. I bought an extended life extra battery, and have never even used it, the original battery is so good! The screen is big enough to enjoy NY Times webpage articles and more. It works well with the PalmOne universal wireless keyboard through IR, but the thumb keypad is perfect for internet wandering and entering contacts. I can fit both the PC and keyboard in this tiny little clutch-purse, and you'd never know it holds all my work! The Pocket PC Word converts to WP on my work computer, and not once have I missed my laptop. I can do my billing in Excel, or record it like dictation. Love the design. Get a car charger, and you're good to go!
