Although the XDA EXEC is a very good PDA with some nice features and phone related functions, it is not too much different (in specification & performance) from similar PDA/Phone devices. In other words it would not be that beneficial to somebody who...

Excellent decent sized full QWERTY keyboard ; Better software features bringing it closer to window programs ; New Persistant Storage now eliminating loss of data due to loss of power

Biggest/bulkiest of all the Windows mobile PDA's to date ; Screen could be bigger considering devices' size ; Incompatible with many 3rd party applications

Good snug fit for the HTC Touch Pro 2 and Touch Diamond 2 tested ; Having the speakerphone built into the lighter charger unit is a good solution ; Easy to install and use

No instructions provided on how to hook up and/or use the speakerphone ; Microphone is either located too far away or not sensitive enough ; Flexible arm mount allows too much sideways movement
