Summary: The best PDA on the market!
Review: I spent hour comparing PDA's and found the Compaq to have the most for the least. The color screen is a must and the voice recorder is a great time saver, especially when on the road. The screen and text entering system is the easiest of all the PDA's. Synch up to your Outlook and have all your calendar appointments and phone numbers on the road. My only complaint is the lack of accessories on Amazon and in the stores. It would be nice to have a better case, more memory, things like a finger stylus, etc. This product gets very little press but it is truly a remarkable time management tool that I can not live without!

Summary: Review after having an Aero for a year.
Review: The Compaq Aero is a great product in regards to productivity and it's use of the Windows CE software. However there are a few buyer beware issues that you should be aware of which I came to after having mine for a year now:

1. The screen is not resistant enough to scratches to allow for long term writing with the included sylus. If you plan to write on your PDA daily and for long periods, sctaches on the bottom appear, and only get worse with use.You will want to purchase screen protectors from a company like Concept Kitchen to protect your screen.

2. Three of my co-workers as well as myself purchased these products at the same time. In 2 of them, the audio went out and never came back.. The vertict when we compared notes: The 2 of us who lost our audio played alarms and MP3's (using the MP3 player), which were very loud. If your looking for a good audio system, you should consier the Casio model instead, which also features stereo audio (Compaq's Aero is mono only)

3. If this will become a necessary part of your life, and if you find that you are using it the majority of your day, you will want to get one of many PDA Accessory kits that are available at various online retailers. Look for one that includes screen protection accessories and cleaning products. The sooner you get this, the better. I found out too late that my screen was getting scratched with my writing, and even though my screen is now protected I have unrecoverable damage to my screen.

Overall, the system performs well, and is rugged enough to be thrown in a briefcase or a pocket daily. This is most useful to someone who is a Microsoft Windows user at home and work, since the interface is almost identical (There is even a start button). If you are a hobbiest wanting the latest and most feature rich PDA, this is not for you, the Casio and HP models may be better. However, if you are a business professional who wants a reliable system that can live with a mono audio system and an acceptable color visual display, this model is for you.

Summary: Compaq 2150
Review: This is a nice tool with one very basic flaw. The screen is difficult to see in normal indoor light. However, the voice recorder is a real plus for 'in traffic' ideas and reminders to myself. The earphone and the audio book program is a nice addition for tedious airplane travel. The available v.90 modem allows easy e-mail and faxing which sometimes allows me to travel without my heavy laptop.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent unit -- the voice recorder is a huge plus
Review: Windows CE works tremendously on the Compaq. Since I use Outlook 2000 on my PC, the screens on the Compaq using CE are as straightforward as it gets for looking up contacts, tasks, calendar items, or e-mails. I really like the fact that you can keep the unit in the cradle while at the office, which charges the battery, and keeps the unit in continuous synch with my PC so that I can grab the Compaq and head out the door when I need to go -- rather than waiting to synch up before I go.

When I'm on the road, I can quickly record an idea on the Compaq by pressing the voice record button that is safely & strategically located in the corner where I can get to it without otherwise turning the unit on,or opening the case. I've been very pleased with it!
