Not an UMPC #

This is a large PDA, it's not an UMPC.

It isn't a PC compatible and can't run desktop Windows.

And the resolution (640x480) sucks, but that's a limitation of windows mobile, not the hardware. More proof that it's not a UMPC. Although you don't have to run windows to be a UMPC.

don't pre-judge this gadget. #

You're missing the point - it doesn't have to run Windows, it just lets you do work on the move. Whether you would want to use it as a phone is a different matter. For me, it always was a great PDA, not a very useful phone unless you used it as a landline substitute.

I have had problems with reliability though - a lot of rebooting was always necessary.
