CNet Evaluates 9 PDAs
http://computers.cnet.com/hardware/0-2645869-8-20542449-1.html?tag=ldgif
"Hundreds of PDA manufacturers promise to save your poor disorganized, disconnected soul. We've assembled a list of the top handhelds on the market--from multifunctional Palm-based PDAs to basic Pocket PCs, from bargain-basement deals to flashy bank-busters. Clean up your life with one of these star products."
Among the Pocket PCs evaluated were the Toshiba e750, HP iPAQ h1910 and both the 300MHz and 400MHz Dell Axim X5. All 4 were given the "Highly Recommended" rank. Of course, there were other PDA listed. One of those got "Highly Recommended" and the rest only got "Recommended."
The last thing I need is another PDA right now, but that 1910 looks more attractive every day.

I agree. The 1910 does look very tempting. I was at Staples the other day and was browsing the PocketPCs they had there. I couldn't believe how small the 1910 was in comparison to all the other PocketPCs there! 8O
Now, if only it had a battery with a much larger capacity... :roll:

I can't bring myself to want it. No wifi or bluetooth, ever, is such a deal-breaker for me. I can almost live with the other shortcomings (200 mhz Proc, small amount of RAM), but no connectivity to anything is a major sticking point for me...
It's definitely attractive, but it's hard to justify, at least for me...

You'll falll into the trap sooner or later... :twisted:
I did. :wink:
It may not be a powerhouse like the other PPCs with dual slots, or Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth... but it is something you can slip into your shirt pocket and not remember it is there... It fits well with if you are well dressed... or in a suit... It isn't something like a replacement PPC for power users... but I am a power user... and I don't mind having one of these. 
So... I got one... and guess what... :!: :?: :idea:
I bring it around when I don't need to do presentations, if I don't have to hook up to a phone line... and all those heavy duty work... I got it filled up with all the games and neat stuff I need and it works pretty well... surprising for a small thing... Just imagine running Michael Schumacher Racing World Kart 2002 in it :!: :!: :!:
Find a device that small that can do it...

I was thinking this would be ideal as an ebook reader. My only question is how does ClearType look on it???

I'm seriously thinking I'll get e755. I like the built in networking. But as it will be awhile before I can buy a new one, I'm hoping one with the new chipset and bus size AND networking. Bluetooth would be nice too.
But it has to have CF! I've already gotten a 256 meg card, and I don't feel like tossing it!

I think Clear Type looks fantastic on it.
And I haven't had any problems with the battery life. I figure, if it ever does become a problem, I can just buy a spare, or get into the habit of charging it at work.
