Don't despair. The Loox is a good PDA. Like all internet forums, this one is frequented by those who like to whinge.
I've never had battery problems with my Loox. Mine typically gets used for about 4 hours media playback, an hour or so of general PDA stuff (mail, reader, calendar) and probably another hour or so of wireless web surfing using a CF-wireless card every day. Typically, it only gets cradled for an hour or so during that time and then overnight.
All PDAs have their problems - some models of the Ipaq share a similar backlight bug to the Loox. The Axim has had a few updates now. Unfortunately, a PDA runs on software and it is (wrongly, but generally) accepted that software has bugs and updates are part of the experience.
Also, PDAs, like PCs are obsolete by the time they are launched. As soon as any manufacturer launches such a product, they are already working on a new model. If you wait on every rumour that circulates about PDAs, you will never buy one.
