Best Windows CE Unit for the Buck

by isong Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 20 '00
Pros: Small size, Large 16-gray scale display, Voice recording capabilities, Expandable CF 1 slot, MS Outlook 2000, Package is loaded with goodies
Cons: Windows CE (love it or hate it), Freezes when too many tasks are open, Hard to find accessories
BEFORE-PURCHASE THOUGHTS:
My commute to work is no laughing matter. It takes me about an hour and a half to get to work and about the same amount of time to get back home. During the commute on the light-rail, I can either read the morning...

Great PDA...

by starling72 , Mar 23 '00
Pros: Thin, lightweight, good screen quality
Cons: No built-in modem
Struggled for months to decide between a Palm V and the Aero 1500 series. Very glad I chose the Aero. Ultra-thin, easy for Window users to learn, the Aero is ideal for someone who needs a tool to improve their organization. Very lightweight....

Go and get one now!

by E420 , Sep 02 '00
Pros: very thin and lightweight
Cons: none
I don't know what I do without it. I treat my Aero like it was my second brain. It does everything from keep day in track to play mp3s. I can store all my important phone numbers, read e-mails, and even record my voice for quick notes. I have to admit...

Top B/W Windows PDA

by KickinA , Jun 14 '00
Pros: Price, Size, Looks, Pocket PC upgradable
Cons: Mono sound Jack, weak backlight
If you want a B/W Windows CE/PocketPC PDA, this is the one to get. Not only is it only $199, but it is a high quality PDA. I really like the slim form factor and the cool silver case. The plastics used on this PDA are very high quality, and has a nice...

Great size/price

by AaronC , Dec 22 '99
Pros: Small, lightweight and great value
Cons: None noted
I'm very happy with the Compaq Aero 1530. I really enjoy the small size and weight. I owned a Phillips Nino (B&W) briefly, but was very unhappy with it's weight and overall size.

The Aero 1530 has a lot of things going for it. Many people...

saves my scheduling life!

by tibodeau , Dec 12 '99
Pros: price, comprehensive package, simple synchronizing
Cons: NotePad quirk.
The PDA market may have been around for a while, but it was all new to me. I am too right-brained to keep my appointments, and even though I remember phone numbers well (once I've called someone), I lose business cards. I went shopping to coordinate my...

Cool device, but look for the 1550

by HalfEmT , Nov 02 '00
Pros: cheap
Cons: slow processor
This was a great device when I bought it, Feb '00. It's cheap, small, and functional,but runs some programs a bit slow. Besides the slow processor, there's nothing to complain about. I added a 96 meg compact flash card and use this to play MP3's. All...

Finally some competition to the Palm V

by ajhamvar , Dec 23 '99
Pros: Light Cheap and Sleek
Cons: Grayscale
The Compaq Aero 1530 is the first Windows CE handheld that Palm needs to view as serious competition. The 1530 is only 1 inch longer than the Palm V and almost the same size as the Palm III. Having 16 MB of memory is a definite plus point when compared...

Greatly impressed

by imawizard1 , Jan 11 '00
Pros: ease of use, memory. size
Cons: haven't found any
I did a lot of research on Plam PC's. I looked at the ones other people had and priced just about every one out there. I bought the Aero 1530 and learned to use it in a matter of minutes. I am far from a techie. I highly recommend this unit over and...

Great investment for not that often use.

by llangford , Jun 26 '01
Pros: small, easy to use, just the right number of applications on it.
Cons: Battery tends to run down quickly if you have reminders set.
I use my desktop as my base, and sync to the Compaq once/week. I find it easier to manipulate/update stuff on desktop than on Compaq. Battery does tend to run down quickly if you have reminders set. Does not always start up on correct date. Need to go...

It's a keeper

by tmorriso , Apr 18 '01
Pros: Very thin, good display, good price
Cons: Lack of third party software
I've been using my Aero 1530 for close to a year now. It has operated flawlessly. Purchased as a refurbished unit directly from Compaq. A great deal.

The features are pretty good. It has "instant access" buttons on the bottom-front of the...
