Nice little gadget!

I've had my Asus A626 for about a week now and really like it. It was money well spent.

cons: it is slow with some applications, specifically, I downloaded a game to it, and I have to wait a couple of MINUTES every time I start the game. Also you have to be patient when it loads a book sized file in the Microsoft Word.

The volume on playback from the speakers is very low, so if you want it for music, get earphones, you'll need em

The recharger and the sync cord use the same port, so if your computer can't recharge it, you can't leave it connected. Also the sync cord is rediculously short, and I ended up using the one from my previous PDA (but it works, and it does recharge on my computer, so for me this was pretty minor)

Pros: I read in one of the other reviews that they were annoyed by the blue lights on the control buttons, I found a setting for turning those off, so thats one annoyance down.

The backlight is nice and bright at least indoors. I use it mainly as a book reader, for books NOT in protected format (like the Guttenberg Project books or stuff from Baen Books) The automatic shutoff was annoying, so I turned that off too! This will lower the battery time, but I don't mind that since I don't use it away from the recharger very often

The controls to change from portrait to landscape view are easy to use and make this a really nice little book reader

There are a lot of free aps you can get that run on Window Mobile 6.0, which is what mine came loaded with.

This has a nice feel to it, its small enough to fit in a pocket, but big enough that it isn't lost in my hand or hard to control. The telescoping stylus is wierd! but it works just fine (I had some trouble FINDING it, as it runs along the SHORT side of the device, not the long side like I thought)

So like I said at the top, this is a good little device, and it does what I bought it for and does it well. I'd like it better if it was half the price, but well...I'd like EVERYTHING better if it was half price!

I'm happy with ny Asus 626

Good graphics, good battery life and reliable operation. I use it as a backup GPS with terrain avoidance in my airplane and this thing does a great job running the software. I hooked it up to the GPS through a Bluetooth GPS antenna and get flawless performance.

Also good for a laptop replacement when you don't need a laptop to carry along. I can get to the sites I need and the Asus works like it was made to connect.

Great machine that beats the other two PDAs I've tried.

Great PDA except for annoying touchscreen issue...

I have owned an ASUS A626 since May of 2008. Overall I have been pleased with its performance. It shipped with the Windows Mobile 6 upgrade and I added a 2 GB SD card.

As a student pharmacist, I use my PDA as an electronic reference and currently have Thomson ClinicalXpert, Dynamed, Archimedes, and Clinical Pharmacology On Hand loaded. The A626 has not had any problems running any of those applications, and the WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities are handy.

The one issue that has been ongoing (and fairly annoying) is with the touch screen: it requires frequent realignment. After initial purchase, my A626 worked flawlessly for the first 6-weeks, then the touch screen stopped responding. Attempts to navigate to the systems tab with the controls on the device's face were unsuccessful, and, long story short, my PDA was inop for about 6 days. Email communications with ASUS went round about, with no obvious solution achieved. Eventually my device resumed functioning on its own, but has required frequent screen alignments (i.e. several times a day) ever since.

great as pda, worse as wireless device

I got mine for a year. I love it as pda, ie. storing datas, writing and docs, etc. However, its wifi connection is no more than 2 rooms away inside my house that made me frustrated not to connect the device in many airports. Also, it does not support Java that means no Youtube, websites with stock index, etc. (although Youtube would play with its independent software that requires downloading-needs more space.)
