V-Tech Helio

V-Tech Helio PDA ---

- Abundant memory keeps your applications and data handy (no need to sync very often)

- VERY CHEAP! no other PDA can match the price

- If you're just using it occasionally and solely for address/phone storage, it's fine. Otherwise, looke elsewhere

- I've been waiting for a year in vain for any games/applications to come up (don't even think about new os update, newer apps/games)

- Don't use voice recording or backlit too often, as this would drain your battery in no time (you don't need to wait for a day to drain your battery for such things!)

- Use alkaline batteries only for reliability and keep a couple of spare batteries. Don't wait until your helio out of battery or you'll loose your data

- In spite of many drawbacks, I will still keep it (well, until I've got some bucks to buy Compaq i-Paq)

All-in-all a great PDA, especially for the price (I got mine at an Office Depot close-out sale for under $100.)

The scheduler works well, especially when you synchronize it with Outlook2000's recurring appointments. It can import from many different e-mail/scheduling programs (Lotus Notes, Outlook, etc.)

An Excellent PDA with the power of a computer in your hand.
