The Asus Zayo is the fastest, thinnest, has the best screen, and the longest battery life. I'd go with that.

I prefer the Ipaq 39xx, it has a much better display than all the other PDA's, it is much more sharper.

I don't like the e740, too small direction pad and the ATI graphics chip leads to slower games at the moment.

Regards..

Marco.

On MobilePlanet.com for $499


The Zayo also has a Transflective screen, just like the iPaq H39xx that I have. But the Zayo is smaller and much faster on benchmarks. Plus it's got a nice metal casing so it's nice and solid. It's got TONS of accessories, including a keyboard, CF Sleeve, GPS stuff, everything, it's all listed there. A 3600mAh extended battery, CF digital camera. I think it's a pretty sturdy and good looking device.

Basically, it's smaller than an e310 and faster than the Loox and has a better battery life than the iPaq H39xx with plenty of accessories.

Oh, and it's got a new generation of IRDA called FastIR or FIR that runs at 4 MBPS

1200mAh built in battery that gets 15-16 hours of battery life because of Asus's SPS technology (smart power saving).

I really like my e740. I have not had any problems with it needing soft reset or anything. Wi-Fi works great and I hope that the new patch comes out soon.

It says the Zayo only has a reflective. I heard the screen is good nevertheless.

Seems like this is my dream device. Long battery life, good screen, sturdy, small casing, and good speed to boot. And light-up buttons :lol:

Oh, yeah, is this going to be retail any time soon? I personally have enough money saved up, but my mom won't let me use her credit card and reimburse her.
I don't have a problem if I can physically buy it in stores, or if there a popular online retailer that has it. My bro has had a few bad experiences with unknown online shopkeeps.

I'll send you my H39xx if you buy me the Asus Zayo.

A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.
