Cons
No 3G support ; no HTML support for email ; no camera

Pros
Supports Wi-Fi Built-in GPS

Cons
Lacks a camera

No junk fax blocker, No auto duplexer, Walk-up scanning options are a bit limited, Colour printing could use a tiny bit of improvement, Screen could be larger, Lacks 3G, Lacks camera

Verdict
