Summary: Very nice machine
Review: Well ... before I bought this handheld I did a ton of reading ... I compared sony and compaq and all of them ... i was left with the impression that if you listened to each review ... and took each of them to heart ... then no one would buy a handheld .. we'd all be carrying typewriters around with us ... people either hated the screens or the speed or the memory or the lack of connectivity or the size or the weight or the color or battery life, etc, etc, etc!

So I took the plunge on what I thought was the best rig available ... regarless of cost ... and bought the i705 in September. Keep in mind my last new unit was a HP I bought new after grad school in 1992.

It was a good move. The screen is sometimes hard to see ... but most of the time is just fine. Memory seems fine. I bought an expansion card for the pictures I like to carry around. I connect online easily in many more places than the reviews I read said I could. It's nice going online from a tiny machine. Anywhere. I bought the word and excel package to go ... and it does ... nicely. The size is great. And the battery lasts a long long time (black and white screen is the reason ... color eats battery life). I really like the red light that somes on to tell me something is happening in my schedule or email ... no buzzer needed ... quiet and informative.

I noticed that its now a full $(..)less than I paid AFTER I got my rebate for signing up for the internet service (which is a bit expensive at $(...)/month). So for under (...) its a great buy. Do it with no regrets.
