This review is from: Cybiko - Handheld - CyOS 1.2 monochrome ( 160 x 100 ) - plasma purple (Electronics)

I have owned a Cybiko for about 2 weeks now, and I really love it. The games and apps are great, but there isn't much memory to hold a large amount. This device is a great alternative to Gameboy, all the games are free to download. My only problem with it, is its small range. For a product geared towards chatting purposes, a 300 foot range is not enough. I would rather just go up 2 that person and speak. But for large groups, the chat feature can be a lot of fun. If you're going to get one , I would reccomend that you encourage friends to get one too because its much more fun with multiple Cybikos.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's okay, but I do like it, September 5, 2000

This review is from: Cybiko - Handheld - CyOS 1.2 monochrome ( 160 x 100 ) - plasma purple (Electronics)

I got this Cybiko for my birthday, and immidiatly I loved it. Then, I began to settle down. I love the games, and I love the fact that every day I can download new games from their website. The only thing is, I know no one else in my area with one. None of my friends do, either. This makes it immpossible to use the Cybiko to its full potential. You need to know somebody else nearby you to be able to chat and to e-mail without hooking up to a computer, you need somebody else with a Cybiko. So, get one if you know other people who have one or is getting one, or get one if you really like lots of free games that are deleatable and downloadable, but if you only like the factor that you can chat with buddies, but none of your buddies have one or are thinking about it, think for a while before you get it. Well, I hope this was helpful. Bye! -Michelle

The Cybiko is very cool. I recently got it for the holidays. When you are getting started it is a little hard to download games but after a day or two it becomes easier. Eventhough you can only go up to 300 feet away to chat my nextdoor neighbor has one so we can chat from our houses and some friends of mine have them so we can do a big chat. I reccomend it to you if people have it around you. Some of the games are very bad but you can just download the good ones. I reccomend it to about everyone who likes to chat and loves to play games. :-)
