If you watched my <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/news/show/90044/mwg-zinc-ii-unboxing-first-impressions-video.html" target="_blank">unboxing</a> or <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/news/show/90174/mwg-zinc-ii-windows-mobile-professional-smartphone-reviewed.html" target="_blank">review</a> videos, you'll know that I found this device to be a solid, capable Pocket PC - nothing terribly revolutionary, and not a real power user device with only 64 MB of RAM, but capable enough for most people. I felt that the initial price of $749 USD was just too expensive though because it put the Zinc II in close competition with the HTC Touch devices. But at $299 USD? This device is in a class all it's own - I can't think of any device that performs better on a price/performance ratio. And unlike every new device that HTC is cranking out lately, the Zinc II actually has 3G that will work in Europe, Asia, <em>and</em> North America because it covers the 850/1900/2100 Mhz bands. This is definitely a device worth considering at this price.</p>
