Summary: Keeps you up-to-date on everything! This is a GREAT PRICE!
Review: If you are one those that jumped into the handheld computer market between 1996 to 1997 and bought one of the first handheld computers, they have came a long way. My first handheld's batteries were always going dead on me, even the backup battery. This Nino comes with rechargable batteries, an AC adapter, and a docking station. As long as you recharge it every night by placing it in the dock, you will have it at 100% each day when you walk out the door. The Nino 319 is the best value for your money today. I checked many places on the net and found prices on the same model in the $300 to $400 range. This little handheld is keeping me organized with its "8 MB" of memory. Plus, I enjoy being able to write quick reminders and other pertinent information in the Notetaker program. This is an impressive handheld computer that will be great for students, executives, and anyone who loves modern technology.

Summary: Its OK...nothing special
Review: Its basically OK.
Its fast enough but since it comes with Windows CE 2.2 (outdated) and only a small memory and expansion slot, its not comparable to the big names in hand-held technology.
I think Phillips abandoned it too early and i'm not sure how to get support, but with a modem and wireless phone, this could be used by average businessman to send and receive e-mail.
It has a neat organizer and NoteTaker, Calendar and really well done handwriting program which is precise and quick. The lack of support and small memory and expansion card that's incompatible with today's flash cards, makes this product only marginally useful. For the price maybe not so great. ...

Summary: Palm Convert
Review: My Palm Pilot just died one day ... Nothing ... Hello ... So, it was time to get a new PDA. I am a programmer and I have yet to meet anyone with a WinCE device. So, I did a small amount of research and basically bought my Nino blind. The Palm Pilot is simple. That is its best feature. With Minimal brain usage, you are storing your phone numbers in your Palm Pilot. The Nino is more complex. It is Windows - in a smaller form. You also have to learn the metaphysics of the Windows CE device. You have to use both hands. You learn to manipulate the system in your left hand through a series of button presses - four on each side of the device. It is not hard, and it takes a few days of using to get used to it. At first, I tried to use it like a Palm Pilot and got frustrated. I was ready to send it back. Then I sat down one day and read the manual. "Oh, if I press any two of these buttons, it does this. Oh, if I press this one, it does that Cool!!!". Yes, it is slower than a Palm Pilot, but it is differnt. I wish my Telephone was a WinCE phone - it just makes sense. In the future, you will have two types of PDA users 1) Those with expensive phone books (Palm et al) 2) Those with Windows CE devices My only complaint is that the synchonization software that comes with this model does not sync well in NT. It took time to putz with it to get it to work less than 50% of the time. If you get one of these, the first thing that you must do is go to microsoft.com and get a free copy of ActiveSync 3.0 for CE devices. It synchs up 100% of the time and is great. I'm still learning how to use it, but I never got so much use from my Palm Pilot. I even have the voice recognition working and can make it do things by taking to it! To me, the Palm Pilot is like a Mac. You're stuck with simple stuff. You do what it can do, and don't try anything advanced. This is good for most people, but Windows CE is Windows. If you are a Windows programmer, this is just the start of the future - get one now!!!

Summary: looks nice - known battery/charger defects
Review: my unit couldnt recharge the battery. Comes with a sheet instructing users NOT to call Philips for anything (not a warm feeling!) - instead they provide a website. So i went on the website and apparently the recharging problem is common as it's listed in their FAQ. Called Amazon and they seemed to know right away and are shipping a new unit. Made in Korea, it's cheap, u get what you pay for - hey, fair is fair.

Summary: Windows CE brings it down
Review: Nino gives consumers what they want, more for their money! I have had mine now for about a month and find myself using it every single day... it synchs well with my workstation and includes the 19.2 click on modem, something that costs much more as an option on other PDA's. Although phillips is no longer servicing or supporting Nino, their website still has excellent resources available. Tip: Download all the updates, and files for Nino, in case the website is pulled... I recommend this device over Palms of cheaper and more expensive varieties... unless you want a color screen, Nino is a great PDA!

Summary: Useful, even if 8mb is slow....but 16mb is better
Review: Sure, at 8mb it may be slow. However, with 16mb it is not slow at all. In either case, to have the luxury of using Windows CE versus the other proprietary programs is far worth even a little slow down. I'll trade a little bit of speed for a lot of functionality. Let's face it, slow is having to carry all of this info around on paper or in a laptop. Try to pop open a laptop or shuffle papers while running through the airport. I've been around many of these PDA's and Nino will be my only choice for myself and my staff.

Summary: Simply the best!
Review: This Palm-held device is simply the best. It's whopping 8 MB memory stuns the heck out of any of 3COM's Palm Pilots. It is the best, and it runs Windows CE!
