I thought that I was satisfied with the combination of the two devices - enjoying the best of both PDA worlds in a sense - but there were times when I really longed to have the freedom of carrying just one device that could do "everything". Granted, the i550 could operate as a full fledged PDA and phone, but I felt that its screen was just too small for full-time use since I enjoy reading eBooks so much. The 4700's comparatively enormous screen was perfectly suited for eBooks and viewing everything else, but of course that PDA was not - and would never be - a phone. Therefore my interest was raised when I heard about the latest offerings from the Taiwan based company High Tech Computer: the i- mate branded Jas Jar / HTC Universal and the Sprint branded PPC-6700 / HTC Apache."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/Westfall-ppc-6700-htc-apache2.jpg" /> <br /><br />An interesting review of the Apache. A lot of great photos too. Truly this is one gem of a device as our readers and I have discovered. Also a nice benefit for those on Sprint / Verizon that rarely get a wide Pocket PC Phone Edition selection!
