AWESOME device!
By K. Pemberton
Mobile phone, Wi-fi PDA and a GPS all in one. Just fantastic. The form factor is good - a little wider than I was used to but after a week I didn't notice. Voice quality is excellent.Being able to hit the road, knowing I have access to email and can update documents and spreadsheets without having to cart along a laptop - perfect.Battery life is great, although Wi-fi does tend to sap it somewhat.Perhaps it's best to give you a "day in the life" of how well this little genius does everything:A while ago I had to go to a meeting in London, at an office I'd never been to before. First I called a taxi to the train station. While in the taxi, I checked on train departure times (guess I should have done that before I left, but anyway). Unfortunately I couldn't actually buy my ticket online as the website wanted more (AJAX?) functionality than the built-in browser could handle. Once on the train I called the office to find out which was the nearest tube station. Then I worked a little on a spreadsheet while listening to some MP3s, then read an e-book for the last half hour. Once I'd reached the destination underground station, I fired up TomTom in "walking" mode, and it guided me to the office without any fuss at all.What more could you ask for?Of course it's not *quite* perfect. You'll need to buy TomTom maps for the whole of the UK, unless you never plan on leaving one city (one free city download is allowed). And the silly little flip-over plastic cover will break within a week. Invest in a good quality belt-pouch, there are plenty of them available - try here on Amazon.

cool tool, useful toy
By Rocking Rick
Ipaq 6915 does almost everything I need in a mobile office, and most of the time i don't need to carry my laptop to meetings.Documents for meetings download to it.Gps with add-on maps for Western and Eastern Europe allow me to find my way across Europe.wifi lets me interogate email and access networks/internet.Phone is works, and with skype mobile uploaded foc, I can also use it as a skype phone.Mp3 sound quality good, and screen ok for brief reading, but not serious longterm work (or maybe I need smaller fingers and reading glasses?)Drawbacks?- its larger than a phone (but smaller than a laptop).- wifi and gps suck power and settings need to be adjusted to give a useful battery life.- wifi and gps are useful, but slower to pick up signals than for example dedicated sat nav or wifi (e.g. ipod touch)improvements? Larger memory card and free downloadable mobile software increase usefullness.Second sim card would make it better.

Ten times better than a blackberry!
By Mr. P. Seddon
This is the best PDA i've tried so far. The GPS works fine and is quick to locate the satellites. The wifi is very handy but the browser is still an old version not compatible with newer websites. Still you can download a better one aswell as loads of other apps and games. So handy to have everything you need in one package.
