Having now used my n50 for the last few weeks, I'm wondering how I coped without it! It's been a long time since I last used an electronic organiser, and didn't want to go down that line again. So decided to look at a pocket pc. After looking at various modaels I settled for the Acer n50 - and am I glad I did. Simple to use, good software pre-loaded. Main problem was loading the software onto my pc - took about 3 goes to get it set up and in sync with the n50. Next problem was that the screen on the n50 threw a wobbly and froze. Couldn't find any help - no manual with the n50. Finally decided to let the battery run out, then recharge. Worked fine - and no problems since. 2 things I discovered: (1) when on the move make sure you 'lock' the keys - prevents the problem of the screen; (2) go to Acer's home page and down load a manual - about 250 pages. I've now added a 1gb CF card, and have watched my first dvd on it. Would recommend it to anyone.
