Don't Buy Asus A626 3.5-inch PDA Until You Read This

I've used a few Pda Phone in my life (just like most of you). I was at the point where I bought into the idea that a phone with pda qualities would satisfy my need for constant information management and communication. But I was wrong. Now I just wanted my phone to make and receive calls.The Asus A626 is a sleek, user friendly PDA device with a 3.5" TFT LCD 65k full-colors screen and WM6 standard. I don't use the PDA like I used to, but when I need it, it's work Very Good. The bluetooth connects perfectly too. Wi-Fi connections are a snap, and I can surf the internet in portrait or landscape at the touch of a button. The media player is pretty good.

Technical Details

* Dimensions: 2.8 x 0.6 x 4.6 inches

* 312 MHz Marvell XScale processor

* 3.5-inch TFT LCD touchscreen with 65k colors, 240 x 320-pixel resolution (QVGA)

* 3.5mm earphone jack

* 1200 mAh removable/rechargeable battery

* 128 MB Flash ROM and 64 MB SDRAM

* Integrated microphone and speakers

* Full duplex recording and playback

* Weight: 5.57 ounces

Pros:

1.The backlight is nice and bright at least indoors. I use it mainly as a book reader, for books NOT in protected format (like the Guttenberg Project books or stuff from Baen Books) The automatic shutoff was annoying, so I turned that off too! This will lower the battery time, but I don't mind that since I don't use it away from the recharger very often

2.I read in one of the other reviews that they were annoyed by the blue lights on the control buttons, I found a setting for turning those off, so thats one annoyance down.

3.The controls to change from portrait to landscape view are easy to use and make this a really nice little book reader

4.This has a nice feel to it, its small enough to fit in a pocket, but big enough that it isn't lost in my hand or hard to control. The telescoping stylus is wierd! but it works just fine (I had some trouble FINDING it, as it runs along the SHORT side of the device, not the long side like I thought)

5.There are a lot of free aps you can get that run on Window Mobile 6.0, which is what mine came loaded with.

Cons:

1.The recharger and the sync cord use the same port, so if your computer can't recharge it, you can't leave it connected. Also the sync cord is rediculously short, and I ended up using the one from my previous PDA (but it works, and it does recharge on my computer, so for me this was pretty minor)

2.The volume on playback from the speakers is very low, so if you want it for music, get earphones, you'll need em

3.It is slow with some applications, specifically, I downloaded a game to it, and I have to wait one minutes every time when I start the game. and I have to be patient when it loads a book sized file in the Microsoft Word.

So like I said at the top, this is a good little device, Asus A626 is great machine that beats the other two PDAs I've tried.
