small and sensational
By D. ARDINE
I hAVE MY NEC 790 FOR SOMETIME NOW AND HAVE FOUND IT TO BE A WONDERFUL TOOL FOR INVENTORY CONTROL, LETTER WRITING AND MUCH MORE. THE SCREEN IS GREAT AND THE PICTURE IS CLEAR. TRAVELING WITH IT HAS BEEN A RELIEF AND A GREAT SOURCE OF COMFORT. i DONT NEED ALL THE GARBAGE I USED HAVE TO CARRY WITH ME WHEN I HAD A SMALL HANDHELD WITH THE CRADLE AND I WOULD LOSE THINGS CONSTANTLY I WAS FOREVER IN COMP USA BUYING A NEW PLUG I LOST OR PROGRAM CARD IT WAS ALWAYS A NIGHTMARE. AND THEN TRYING TO WRITE WITH THE FOLDING KEYBOARD WAS A JOKE. NOW THE NEC HAS MY PROGRAMS INIT AND A NICE KEYBOARD PLUS IT IS SO EASY TO KEEP TRACK OFF ALL MY INFO

forced obsolescence
By J. Holt
Ok, bought this device because it has a nice keyboard, I can take it with me and write stuff without killing trees. So far it's been great for this. Battery lasts most of the day and I can leave it in the charger at night. It's simple to use, touch screen works great. Just one thing. It won't communicate with my PC. It has no USB connection, the older connector it has doesn't work. Possibly because my Microsoft XP is too advanced for it, next thing I thought of was sharing a memory card. I got an adaptor and a Kingston memory card and hooked it up. It works great on PC, but NEC doesn't recognize. After doing some web surfing I get a flash card. NEC 790 has a type 2 CF or compact flash card outlet in front. But it does recognize a type 1 flashcard. Thank You God. I got a flashcard reader to transfer data to my PC, and here's where things get exciting.My PC recognizes the pocket word format of the NEC 790 files, but the NEC 790 does not recognize Microsoft word format. After several hours of trying to convert Microsoft word to Pocket Word Document, I found a chat site that told me to convert them to text files then change the header from txt to .pwd. This worked. So after two days of frustration and over 100$ in additional hardware I can now move documents from my obsolete NEC 790 to my PC and back. I think this sort of hassle it uncalled for and I'm a bit pissed off. I'm not messing with the internet access or its other functions because I don't need them and I'm glad I don't need them.The reason I'm giving this product 4 stars is I don't think it's the developers fault the Microsoft empire makes so much more money if I pay 2000$ for a modern handheld that can relate to the modern software they've seen fit to provide us. This device does what I want, and costs less then a modern equivalent. I'm happy with it but depending on what you want you might think twice before buying this thing.

By Mark J. Collins
I am a business executive and have been looking for the best way to take notes and have important data on hand for the many meetings I attend every day, and after 20 years the search has ended.I recently bought and regretted the purchasing a tablet PC which takes 5 minutes too long to boot for note taking (NEC is instant on), a Pen that records your writing that made me realize I write about 10 time slower than I type and my writing is often unreadable, and a couple of nice PDAs with dinky thumb boards / touch screen entry keyboards, too small to be of practical use for fast writing, and lacking native / really readable versions of Excel, Word, Access, Power Point, and the ability to sych those documents from your desktop to the portable device like the NEC 790.This thing is perfect for me. If you are a writer or a worker who needs to take notes and reference information during meetings, buy one now! If you want to play games and need all kinds of third party apps / media playing capabilities / surf the net wirelessly, get a newer PDA.If only the NEC 790 had a few additional add ons (like a cool ebook reader and wireless internet connectivity), this would be a 5+ star purchase! But the full size key board in a book sized PDA is brilliant.
