Compaq IPaq Pocket PC show most Web pages very well, waiting for them to download will test your patience. Plus, the fully loaded IPaq costs a hefty $1047. The IPaq looks cool, but it doesn't work as well as some of the other devices , and Mobile MSN has the narrowest range of features of the four portals."If you want just e-mail and some basic PDA functions, the Blackberry 957 is the best option . The device is easy to use and has a fairly large screen and a QWERTY keyboard. If you don't mind waiting, you can use Blackberry to browse the Web; lots of varied information is available via the GoAmerica portal."For more than mobile e-mail, the Palm Vx with OmniSky has the best overall package, though the Palm VII isn't far behind . Browsing the Web on any PDA is very slow, but it's nice to have it as an option, and the Palm VII doesn't. OmniSky's bundling of a wide range of Web Clipping Apps and an excellent e-mail program makes the whole Palm Vx package work very well."get ready to compromise . People's expectations for these devices and services, especially as Web browsing tools, are still ahead of the reality."pcworld.com pcworld.com
