I loved it from the first time I got it.
This is a perfect size for me, Does everything a notebook or a netbook does but much smaller. Keyboard is very easy to use and the pen works great with XP Tablet PC Operating system. This will also run Vista and I think Windows 7 drivers are also available.

Has become dissapointing since it was purchased two years ago. - Anonymous - United States
Quite sadly, this has become one of the most regrettable purchases we've made.
Two years old and ,700 for the base unit dressed out with the Sprint card and since then:
-- OqO charges you full price (0 in 2007) for the CDMA card as if were a customer unwilling to sign a cellular contract, BUT SPRINT STILL REFUSES TO ACTIVATE THE CARD WITHOUT A TWO YEAR COMMITMENT !!! Since the card can't be officially swapped it is unlikely you'd switch carriers or disconnect the monthly WWAN service but it is criminal to pay full price for cellular gear then screwed for the same two year commitment other customers who received their Pantech card or USB data cards for subsidized / free. The WWAN bandwidth has become substandard in the last two years of ownership and a Blackberry phone on the all you can use plan is faster than OQO's embedded Sprint card.
-- Crappy warranty service, a device this small will invariably become dropped, the majority of people will drop their cell phone at least once and the OQO is no exception. It will split like an egg even if it is "protected" by the OQO Stronghold case which is anything but strong. which leads to the next topic....
-- Larcenous damage protection, every OQO should be protected with the optional 0 damage warranty for owner mishaps such as the inevitable drop...but their tech support group will make you jump through as many hoops as a wise Latina judge seeking a lifetime appointment before honoring it.
OqO's are hard to justify compared to a sub 0 netbook especially if you already have a data modem and BT capable cell phone to use instead of the embedded CDMA card. Even a cheap netbook can be WWAN equipped with a free USB modem for the same monthly price and same two year commitment the OqO is getting screwed out of.
