Asus A620 Review

Great, but for that extra 20% speed you sacrifice an SD slot, size, bluetooth, properly working speaker and consumer IR.

Not to mention the 2215 cuts the lead even lower when overclocked to 472.

And since I have yet to meet anyone who has actually overclocked their Asus, that 400mhz in turbo is the fastest the Asus can go.

There is nothing the Asus can do that the 2215 can't. SNES Roms are just as playable on the 2215 as they are on the Asus, as well as quake and movies.

How about some built in USB hosting features so we can connect gamepads and really play our SNES games? Hopefully the MIO will solve that.

The A620 works very nicely at both 472 and 528 mhz. If you want dual slots/bluetooth, get the ipaq. If you want the speed, get the asus. It's that simple.

Yeah - lets make this simpler...... since we'll have the a620bt's in about a week, and the price will be about the same as the hp2215... both will have bluetooth. So, it really comes down to this:

If you NEED dual slots, get the 2215

If you can sacrifice an SD slot for 64mb of ROM instead of 32, and want a nicer screen and an overall better performing system w/ better battery life get the A620BT. If you want a great deal, pre-order one and get a $40 leather case and fedex ground shipping all for $410.

Does that help? I really hate to continue a dumb fight..... I'd rather people talk about Matt's nice review.
