Pharos 565 Pda SERIES/3.5INCH LCD/wifi Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought mant things from Amazon but this is my first review for a product.
I bought this Windows Mobile PDA about a month ago to replace my old PalmOne Zire 31. Basically I wanted to have a organizer with office functions so that I could do some office work on road. I also needed a wireless connection for me to check emails outside of my office. Of course, laptop can do these jobs but it is not convenient to carry on all the time. This product is very good to serve my purposes. It can creat and edit Word and Exel files; it can also do slide show of PowerPoint but can not edit PP files. I tried to use ShowMate to perform a slide show in a projector and this device did connect with the ShowMate via bluetooth and project the slides onto the projector. However, the connection between the PDA and ShowMate is not stable and easy to be lost. Also, the PDA was freezen frequently during slode show onto the projector. I updated the firmware of the ShowMate and expect the connection could be more stable but have not tried yet.
Internet connection through wi-fi is good and easy for low security network. I can easily connect with the wireless at my home (DSL), in hotels and coffee shops. But the biggest downside for wireless connection is that this device does not support WPA2-enterprise, AES and PEAP wireless connection which is a popular highly secured wireless network in most universities including my university. I asked our university IT people for help and they spent more than two hours on it but it could not connect with our wireless network. I contacted the tech support of Pharos and they said they are working on this issue. After extensive research on this issue, I found this seems a common issue for Windows Mobile devices. Hopefully they can solve this problem very soon.
A nice feature of this device is the GPS capability. It has build-in GPS but no software provided. I bought a third-party software (Navigon MobileNavigator 7) and it worked nicely in this PDA. I am pretty satisfied on the GPS function. It can even detect GPS signal inside buildings where my regular car GPS could not. So the sensitivity is very good but it takes several minutes to obtain the signal when inside the buildings.
Overall, it is a good product but do not expect to replace your laptop with this PDA, especially for presentations using PowerPoint.

Deluo Keychain GPS Sensor for Smartphones With Microsoft Streets and Trips 2008 Software Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Item was purchased for use with a Blackerry Device the 9530 Verizon Device to be exact. First issue...it would not pair with the Blackberry, at least I could not get it to do so with the usual "0000".
I called the support number in the "manual" that accompanied the device and the gentleman who answered was unable to help. The "specialist" sounded as if he was responding to me from the middle of some kind of extremely noisy environment. I did not get the impression that he was really focused upon assisting me. The other issue is the installation of the software. The instructions left a great deal to be desired and also presented a challenge there.
My opinion, this is not the solution for an alternative to VZ Navigator. The device does not interface seamlessly with the Storm, at least I couldn't get it to do so; I never was able to pair the device with the Blackberry nor was I able to get the software to run properly. Although this may simply be an incompatibility issue with the Storm, I would think twice about acquiring this product. Difficult to pair, poor manual and inadequate product support; this is a dangerous combination. If this is for Blackberry it is not for the 9530 Storm.

Pharos Traveler GPS 535v - Handheld - Windows Mobile - 3.5" color TFT ( 480 x 640 ) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned many different PDA's and this is by far the best one I have encountered. If you like your phone and PDA to be the same this is not your PDA, but if you like a good solid PDA with blue tooth, wireless, and my favorite feature of all GPS capability then you will love this small compact PDA. I previously owned a Navagation PDA's from a different manufacturer and was not impressed because the button set up was different than that of a standard PDA, so games were impossible to use because of the button configuration; however, this PDA has a standard PDA button set up that is back lit with a speaker on the front unlike my other PDA's. I like using the GPS as a GPS not for navigation, but you could certainly use this for navigation with software purchase or you could buy the model with navigation built in as well. Some higher resolution PDA's like this one may not run games that are only set up for lower resolution PDA's, but this runs most everything and you can usually find a patch or a fix for that issue if it's a game or program you just can't live without. I finally found a great PDA with built in GPS that still works like a standard PDA.
***Update*** This is my fourth PDA and I have had great luck with this unit as a GPS unit both in my car and outside, but it has to be set on 'COM4' both under the GPS setting and in the GPS program you're using. In addition, the infrared beaming under setting/connections/beam must be unchecked so you can't receive incoming beams while using the GPS since they both use COM4. It does take longer to get a connection while moving in a car, but if remaining stopped with the unit in the dash or suctioned to the front windshield mine will find a signal in 1 minute or less assuming you have it set up correctly. Once you aquire a signal it does well and often works in my house but usually never inside a building and I don't have the attenna you can plug into the back either. My previous unit actually took longer to get a signal and it had Navigation built in. While I do agree that a regular GPS or car navigation may be quicker at getting a signal and may have a longer battery life...just know they don't do much else! I use this at work for medical information, the Gym for music, at home as a TV remote, to play games, sync with my calendar, email, contacts or search the internet on my wireless network, and even print wirelessly with it. Occasionally I have even used it for bible study at church. I travel quite a bit and have used it to mark routes and calculate distances, elevations along with speeds(I discovered the new larger tires on my car made my odometer read 3-5mph slower than I was actually travelling-can you say speeding ticket?), but I have not used it for geocaching yet. An unnamed free map program also works great as long as you have a wireless connection. I usually use it to plan my travel route and then save the directions to WORD before I leave as a reference while I'm in transit. This free map program also works great to find stores, hotels or restaurants and it allows you to put them directly into your contacts if you like. My house also looks pretty cool zoomed in on the satellite view using the same program. Finally, if you can't live without all your old palm programs since I owned one of those at one time as well there is a great unnamed program(emulator) that allows you to use most of the OS programs on your PDA if you can't find an equivalent program for the PDA platform. I live in a small town and it seems to work great for me at home or on the road. If you want everything but phone and camera, this is the one to get.
