Although these units are not as fast as current Pocket PC models, they are quite usable. They sport a 206 MHz StrongARM Processor and reflective screen which leaves a little to be desired, but they are quite usable. Keep in mind you will need to sign up with AT&T for a couple years. Make sure you look closely at their data plans to make sure they fit your needs.
