I loved my iPaq 211 until HTC came out with phones that have a VGA (640x480)
screen. Now I hardly ever use my 211.

FYI the HTC phones have a 2.8 inch VGA screen where the iPaq 211 has a 4"
VGA screen so it is easier to read the iPaq.

And the 211 powers up and powers down pretty fast because it doesn't power
off just powers down.

Plus the 211 has two memory slots so you can easily put in over 16 Gig of
memory.

But the iPaq 211 has a few drawbacks too like it uses WM6 instead of WM6.1
and it's screen requires more pressure than an average touch screen.
