Well ya know, the Palm people feel that if the PocketPC is not exactly like a Palm, it is worthless. However, I think after they play with a store demo model after 5 minutes, they do become experts since they were previous PalmOS owners, so hense their "unbiased" reviews should be taken as gospel (Which generally point out how the PalmOS is better (ie, longer battery life, 10,000 applications which all do one or two functions each and do not interoperate with each other, etc..))
When purchasing your PDA, figure out what you expect to do with it and then purchase based on YOUR needs. However, regarding all of the positive reviews -- these are the "gotta have the latest and greatest toy" crowd. So that coupled with the fact they paid $500+ for the unit they *MAY* be overly positive about their purchase. (I mean, who would really want to get on a message board and exclaim how they wasted $500?!)
Now if they would just release a high contrast B&W unit that was designed like the iPaq and went for about $250-$300..
