Pros: Extremely crisp screen, lots of memory, fast processor; Overall excellence!
Cons: Well, I guess I sometimes wish it were in color...
Summary: Sometime around the beginning of the Summer, I seemingly dropped off the face of the earth. A large part of this had to do with the impending doom created by law school, which I started last month...but now things have begun to calm down somewhat (or at ... read more

Pros: Used to be the best value for the money involved.
Cons: Compaq´s poor quality has showed up once again. Now its terribly obsolete.
Summary: What began as a love story, now has turned into a huge dissapointment. This PDA really offered a lot for so little money compared to the newer, color PDA´s at the time. Unfortunately, Compaq´s poor quality and ever worse service have sent this PDA to ... read more

Pros: Plenty of fun and useful features
Cons: the encryption is a little glitchy

Pros: It's Cheap, Runs PocketPC OS
Cons: Built Cheaply, Feels Flimsly, Ugly B&W display
Summary: The Aero 1550 is the low-end offering of all the new PocketPC PDAs running Microsoft's new Windows CE 3.0 operating system. Since the Aero 1550 is on the lower end of the spectrum, it does very little justice to the all the wonderful features that the ... read more
