"Everything with me, all the time"
What I like:
Good GPS, powerful PDA, good GSM/GPRS Phone
What I don't like:
Screen in daylight, speaker's volume too low
Review:
It's amazing to be able to have with me all the time my cellphone(w/camera) and my pda and my gps device. Globally speaking the Mio has a superb performance and the size makes it trull portable in all situations. The only objection is the screen at a sunny day... you won't see anything, and the speakers (at least for me) should have more power, especially when you try to speak handsfree on your car. I don't care about the lack of wi-fi because I have had many pdas before and rarely use it, I prefer to be able to download data or use the messenger through gprs (that is truly mobile!).
In conclusion, I have been using this device for 3 months and travelling with it in Spain and France, and I can tell you, from now on, I don't think I'll live without a device like this one in my pocket
