Default Is an a620 worth buying?

My Toshiba e805's screen has broke, so im thinking of buying an Asus A620. (I dont like bt. It doesnt work well, and i never use it even when it does work) Im not really going to need wifi (im buying a clie th55 for that). I intend on using the A620 for gaming and video viewing. Is it worth it?

I bought my husband the BT version of the A620 just for the extra ROM (64 instead of 32)... He will probably never use the Bluetooth part.

If you want a PDA for gaming, I hear the 620's are among the best. I don't quite have first-hand knowledge of this, as my husband hasn't gamed much in my presence.

I have an A620 and I swear by it! Its fast has long battery life and supports CF (which I needed). I watch AVI's and MPEG's all the time on mine with no problems. It's still one of the fastest PPC's on the market and I've had mine since July. I'm surprised they aren’t more popular.

The A620 should be excellent for gaming. The screen on the A620 is pretty good, look at the 2215 screen, and imagine it with a bit more contrast, brighter, and it doesn't look as washed-out.

If you want a little more with it, aka bt/wifi and both types of mem slots, go for the a716, which is what I am going for.
