Good idea but very frustrating to use, 23 Jan 2008
By Frustrated of Fife - See all my reviews

I've been using this for a while now and I'm getting increasingly frustrated with it. Its good points are:

1) Loads web pages quite fast (if network isn't busy)
2) Free surfing.

Its bad points:

1) Constant 'network busy' messages often leading to disconnection.
2) Pages not loading properly (sometimes only half load)
3) Poor quality display (colour is terrible)
4) Poor battery life
5) Slow scrolling
6) Overall poor build quality

It's a good idea but needs some serious work to make it usable in the real world.

I am gadget mad but this just doesn't live up to expectations. Got if for Christmas and it will back with Amazon in the New Year. As a previous writer has said the article in Mobile Computing is spot on. Read it before buying- I wish I had! Actually I could have put up with most of the points made apart from the screen. It is awful, unreadable, terrible.. I thought my eye sight needed testing. The screen on my little Nokia 6300 is 1000 times better for web access.

Real shame cos a great concept but wait for version 3 or 4 or maybe 5!!
