Review: I do not really agree with Davey's review. After using iPaqs for many years , this Asus feels much better. It came with W Mobile 6.0 (not 5.0 as the official review states). The battery life is great , much longer than all HPs I've ever used. The screen is much brighter. The last HP I had used to lock quite often when not used for few days, and needed a lot of resets. Not this Asus, it works like a dream. I haven't used yet the GPS much, so I do not comment on that yet. The MP3 music sounds very well, but for some reason I liked HP just a tad more.
Pros: Great battery life, bright screen , good ergonomy, good looks
Cons: Possibly slightly better MP3 bass on HPs(? - this may be subjective)
Score: 9/10
