PDA Buyer's Guide Reviews ViewSonic V35 Pocket PC 2002
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 05:30 PM
Well, despite my begging and pleading with Viewsonic, PDA Buyer's Guide beat me to it: the first real review of the V35. I don't consider the regurgitated press releases at CNET to be real reviews. :roll: How did the Viewsonic fare? Quite well!
"Pro: The cheapest new Pocket PC 2002 PDA available today (though the iPAQ 1910 and Dell Pocket PC will soon share that honor). This PDA allows more people to get into a new Pocket PC 2002 PDA. Very slim and the lightest PPC on the market! Zippy performance and an excellent transreflective display that's bright, color-saturated and evenly lit. D-pad is good for gamers and non-gamers alike. 64 megs of RAM, now the industry standard, gives you room to install 3rd party software.
Con: No CF card slot for cheaper CF memory cards, and modem and network cards. You do get an SD slot. Not as fast as 400MHz XScale Pocket PCs, and one of the slower units in our benchmarks, but a solid performer nonetheless."
