I'm looking to purchase a PDA for everyday use and to integrate planning with my daily activities, work, etc. I came across this Fujitusu model and wanted more info.

Does anyone have any opinions or pricing info?

Thanks

That is a thing of beauty... similar to the Asus A730... neither have been released yet.

But any PocketPC would probably serve your needs. But I admit you have great taste in devices...

Oh the pricing should be about $600us

Yeah, that or the Asus version will probably be my next PDA. Very nice... can't wait for them to come out :)

Is the LOOX V70 and 720 the same device? Does anyone know, I think that they are really similar spec wise....

That V70 is a rebranded Asus so its a different device from the 720.

So are they producing both the V70 and 720? The 720 has better features it seems.

The Loox v70 is coming from Fujitsu - and is largely a rebadged Asus a730 (but without Bluetooth).

The Loox 720 is from Fujitsu-Siemens - and is produced by HTC.

In the past Fujitsu have produced variations of the Fujitsu-Siemens Loox models. This time they went their own way.

Hopefully the person who made that idiotic decison within Fujitsu has been sacked/shot/sent to manage their new Iraqi HQ... :wink:

Duncan,

Thanks so much for clearing that up for me. Do you know if there will be a bluetooth and WiFi model coming from Fujitsu?

What is missing from the 720 that the V70 doesn't have?

Not that I'm aware of. If the v70 is the Pocket PC that interests - then you may as well buy the dual-wireless version of the Asus a730.

The VGA comparison on our site - see link in my sig below - compares the feature sets of the Loox v70, Loox 720 and Asus a730.
