Since my wife and I recently got BlackJack II's, I decided to get one. For $199, I figured it was a bargain and I promised to sell some of my old gadgets to pay for it. I just have to get pictures of my hx4705, 6945, iMac, and iBook posted on Craig's List with ads.

So far, I love it. I would classify it as a "luxury item", but it is highly useful though you can live without it. A full size keyboard and larger screen make my BlackJack a heck of a lot more useful. The BlackJack itself is a lot more stable than any Windows Mobile device I've ever had so giving it near-laptop capabilities is a good thing.

I've barely had my Redfly for a week, but I've already used it to take notes in two meetings. During one meeting, my wife started texting me. With the Alt-Tab functionality, I could switch back and forth between Evernote Mobile and Pocket Outlook easily.

So far, the only program I've found that won't work with the Redfly is SkyFire. Also, Pocket Informant has some trouble rendering the keyboard encoding, at least in the Daily Notes function. I can't type parenthesis and apostrophes among a few other characters.

If you can spare $199 ($205 with shipping) I'd say go ahead and get one while it's on sale.
