 Great for daytrading, skip the Tablet XP and Vista options and max out the RAM with a Sprint EVDO WWAN September 10, 2008
Anonymous (United States)
Our financial services firm ( I'm withholding the name since it isn't necessary and shouldn't be considered in any way biased) deploys this system to our traders who use them while on vacation or planned leaves. br / br /Some of our commodities and FOREX traders use full time since their markets are broader and FOREX markets never close. br / br /The combination of the CDMA card and 60GB HDD is more than adequate for our out of office traders to monitor and execute their positions. It can handle streaming video from Bloomberg, CNBC and SlingBoxes while streaming eSignal, Quotrek and Reuters 3000 Xtra. br / br /FX currency trading and listed options chains quotes along with streaming video is very demanding of bandwidth and CPU and our OQO '02's handle them all. br / br /The screen width is obviously small but the clarity and backlight makes it readable, there is a simple FN+/- combination so you can quickly enlarge and decrease the screen resolution without having to use XP screen properties menus to change the screen size. br / br /Skip the Tablet XP option, XP handwriting recognition just sucks beyond description since Microsoft removed Grafitti support in XP Tablet SP2. Mucking Ficro$0ft. br / br /You may have to tune or even disable anti-virus scanning since monitoring file system and RAM access while executing the aforementioned applications can overload the 02 and drag it into the unsatisfactory column. br / br /If you're an independent trader, this device can pay for itself quickly on those occasions you have to watch your positions but can't use a traditional laptop. Hint: If you have to attend your mother in law's funeral and it happens to be on the same day the FOMC announces their decision, you can toggle the fan speed so you can stream data and the rate decision while in the back row during the eulogy.
 A Product With A Major Technical Flaw September 5, 2008
As (USA)
I spent $3,000.00 to this product and learned an expensive lesson: this product has a major technical flaw. Someday, you might push the power button and realize that it is not working! If you have important business data in it, say good-bye to them. Please check their FAQs section and see how many troubleshooting suggestions they have about these issues. Furthermore, their customer service is terrible, they simply ignore your e-mails. br / br /If you need a high-tech small device to play games, buy Nintendo. If you need a serious UMPC for business purposes, buy Panasonic Toughbook U1. If you don't know what to do with your extra money, make your loved ones happy instead of buying this flawed device. This product should be recalled. br / br /
Do Not Buy This Flawed Product June 24, 2008
Richard E. Tullie (Palm Beach County, FL)

I own a Model 02 OQO. It has a built in "motherboard flaw" that causes it to lock up and become an unusable brick. Customer Service told me "they are aware of the problem" and the person I spoke to said "I worked on one like it yesterday." This is unacceptable for such an expensive device. Worst of all THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD TAKE TWO MONTHS TO FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE THEY SHIP IT BACK TO ME FROM TEXAS. They also said: "We do not have an exchange or replacememt policy." br / br /Do not waste your time and money on this flawed device.
