My first impressions about this PDA are very good. Ordered it on 9-28-99 and received it on 10-28-99. Setup was easy, no problems with the software during setup, however ran into some minor problems after syncing, all fixed now. Just my own mistakes. Loading in the older Palm OS, it may have affected the machine, it crashed later while I was erasing some DB I didn't need on board.

USB syncing is great, very fast.

Compared to the Palm V which I had used, the screen is slightly less sharp, but not bad, I just adjusted the contrast and it was fine, my eyes aren't what they used to be. The back lighting is fine, it will do it job when needed.

I filled in the 8mb of memory about 40%, fits alot of programs. Wow! I immediately orderd the 8mb memory Springboard.

Good solid machine, well constructed, feels good in hand, buttons have a good feedback click to them, but not a major issue for me.

The cover is OK, does its job. I like the way it can be stored on the back of the Visor, out of the way. Gives good protection for the screen.

Oh, about the screen, it has a funny crunchy feel to it in the notepad area and also the graffitti area. Seems to be underneath the glass, don't know what to make of it.

Overall rating from 1 to 10 is a 9-1/2.

Can't wait to see the Springboards when they are available. They are the main reason I upgraded, this and the 8mb of memory.

Thats all for now.
