Summary: Power problems plague EM-500
Comment: I bought my EM-500 last fall and have had to send it back twice now for repairs. For some reason, out of the blue, it just refuses to either turn on, or remain on after a few minutes. There is a power update that I installed when I first got it but it doesn't seem to fix the problem at hand. If you're looking for dependency and reliablity, I defiantly wouldn't recommend the EM-500. I've lost all my data twice now (partly my fault because I didn't do a backup).

Customer Rating: Summary: A waste of money
Comment: I both like and hate my Casiopia. From a hardware perspective, it is great. The display and color is wonderful and I love the buttons. Also, unlike the Palms, they didn't waste 1/3 of the screen on a typing space so you can see more on the screen.
What I hate about it is the software. As always, Micro$oft makes (...) software that is slow and propriatary. I cannot get anything non-Microsoft to work very well. I tried to get the Franklin Covey software to work and it wreaks havoc on my task lists. When I called about it, I was told that Microsoft keeps changing things and they couldn't keep up. Also, when I asked around about other software I find that the selection is abysmal. It takes about 30 minutes to synch. And if the first of the two batteries is low, it won't let you use it (it turns itself off as soon as you turn it on) even though the second battery is full.
Hey Casio! Ever think of using Linux?
I don't know if I would rather have the Casiopia or a Palm. I love the screen size but I hate the software. I think I will wait for the Cell Phone/PDA combos to come down in price.
Customer Rating: Summary: Great Pocket PC!
Comment: Well I just bought an EM-500 Sky Blue and am very happy. I know that there are going to be a lot of new Pocket PC's hitting the market soon but I did some research and found out that this is really all I need. The price is great (only 299.99 here) and the MMC/SD cards are going down! There is an optional modem from casio and a few other venors that plugs into the port at the bottem of the devise. I have 3 32 Mb MMC cars (I own an Mp3 player that uses them)and that is plenty of space for anything I want. If you have been thinking of buying this, do it. You will be very happy!
