Title: Wi-Fi is weak receiving Date: December 26, 2007
Prosgreat device, easy to use, easy to set-up, etc.
Consthe Wi-Fi capability is WEAK. One almost has to stand directly over a router to pick up a wireless signal unless you happen to be in an airport, Starbucks or similar net-wired facility. The internal card/antenna needs to be strengthened for better signal reception.

Title: Great for a normal user, not for the administrator Date: December 18, 2007
ProsGreat product. I never used a PDA before and it was easy to pick it up right out of the box. Software worked correctly with the CDs that came with the unit. Very good for the 1st time user.
ConsAfter reading the reviews I really liked the idea of getting Windows Mobile 6.0 however it comes with windows Mobile 6.0 Classic. Classic is missing some items and It does not come with terminal services (Microsoft's RDP) for example. I really wanted this PDA to access servers at work and get into items like Active Directory Users and Computer and Group Policy Console.

Review:If I really wanted a great tool to keep up with my daily emails and mp3\movies then this would be great. I just need something a little more "meaty".

Title: Windows Mobile 6 Date: December 15, 2007
ProsIt was very easy to set up the basics for this device.
ConsThe keyboard covers up too much of the screen when in use. There is a reference to an upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.0 on the box but no other clue about how to get it.

Review:The users guide should be directed more to a novice PDA user.

Title: My Pal Date: December 3, 2007
ProsMy Pal A626 is very conveniently sized with an easy to see bright screen. The PDA itself is easy to use.
ConsDownloading the software to your computer and tranferring information to and from your computer to the PDA and vise versa is extremely difficult. I have had my PDA for three months now and I have yet to have mastered this. The software was fiinally downloaded, but I can't get the A626 to work with my computer. II love the easy to see screen, but getting the computer to work with it is impossible!

Title: First PDA Date: November 6, 2007
ProsLightweight, durable, easy to use
ConsSound could be a little louder. A lot of times you have to remove the SD card and reinsert it before it will recognize. Active Sync was a little aggravating to get going.

Review:This is a great unit. It works well on all the included apps. The Active Sync is great once you get it configured. I was actually looking for a new mp3 player and for about 75.00 more than a good mp3 player, look what all you get. This was a great value. I highly recommend it.

Title: Surprise improvement over my Axim x50v Date: October 9, 2007
ProsBattery life.
Video quality.
Wireless Network Connection.
Greater system information on the desktop screen.
Surprisingly fast processor.
Extra telescoping stylus provided
ConsConnection to PC (activesync) is querky.
SD Card sometimes needs to be reinserted to recognize.

Review:The A626 has turned out to be a great replacement for my dying Axim x50v. The battery life is amazing, even with wireless running. Wireless connection is a 100% better than the x50v. I've noticed no problems with video and processor speed when playing movies off SD cards using TCPMP.

Title: Best PDA ever Date: October 7, 2007
ProsLots of memory, bright super clear screen, light weight. Battery lasts all day.
ConsThis unit needs Adobe Flash player in order to install software on PC. For some reason, after hours of trying and three calls to Adobe tech support, I still cannot get Adobe flash downloaded onto my home PC. I was able to install on my work PC because Adobe Flash was already on board. The catch is I use GroupWise e-mail on the office PC and Outlook (required for Ativesync) are incompatible so syncing up contacts and calendar is a no-go.

Review:Even after all my problems installing the software and syncing issues... I would buy this unit all over again.

Title: Really like it Date: September 24, 2007
ProsThis is my 1st PDA and probably the best I could have purchased. Extremely easy to use, battery life seems great. Screen easy to read and you can personalize it easy. I can take it outside to the pool with the wi-fi with no problem. Easy to set up the sync.
ConsAccessories hard to find. Also I can sync everything except media(?), may be something on my end however as everything else sync's just fine.

Review:ASUS tech support could use a little help, e-mailing back and forth is not very effecient, would prefer to call and speak with someone until my problem is resolved. (synching media)

Title: Easier than Palm, friendlier, too Date: September 23, 2007
ProsPretty good WiFi range, good, clear screen, nice colors, easy to use. I haven't used the audio yet, but I get my e-mail with no problem, I can organize my task and to-do lists, I can surf the web when I'm bored, and I rather enjoy all the nifty extras. BubbleBreaker is fun, but I'm looking for more games and programs, just to see what else I can do with this. Screen is nice and bright and easy-to-read. Nice backgrounds to choose from, too. Mine came with Mobile 6.0, a pleasant surprise.
ConsMy ThinkOutside keyboard is a bit tricky to use with this, but it could be the batteries. Am currently looking for a nifty case, and will probably need another memory card soon. Not many cons I can think of as of now.

Review:Nice, sleek, light, great battery life, good range. Bluetooth stuff is good, too. Not too tricky to operate, either. I like it! Nice little device!
