1.0 out of 5 stars A Product With A Major Technical Flaw, September 5, 2008

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.

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Buy This Flawed Device, June 24, 2008

This review is from: OQO 1070303-US Model 02 5" Ultra Mobile PC UMPC - Verizon (Personal Computers)

I own the Model 02 OQO. It has a built in "motherboard flaw" that causes it to "lock up" and not work at all. I was informed by Customer Service that this "has happened before" and that they "are aware of this problem." In fact they said "I just worked on one like this yesterday." This is unacceptable. When it locks up it becomes an unusable brick. Worst of all, THEY SAID THAT IT WOULD TAKE TWO MONTHS TO REPAIR THIS BEFORE THEY SHIPPED IT BACK TO ME. By the way they added: "We do not have a replacement or exchange policy."

Do not waste your time and money on this flawed device.
