I really do like this device...,
By dc_in_sf (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Official Celio Corp Listing. The Redfly Smartphone Terminal Is a Terminal for Windows Mobile Phones. Easily Use Your Smartphone Email, Attachments, Web Browser and Remote Access. Connects Via Bluetooth or USB (Charges Most Phones), 8 Hour Battery. (Electronics)
This is a great device that takes a little while to wrap your head around. It is a keyboard and screen extender for your windows mobile smartphone - without your phone it is completely useless, but with your phone it can bridge the usability gap between smartphone and full sized laptop. For some people a netbook may be a better choice, but for myself (and I suspect many others) this is a great tool.
Things I like about it: 1. Convenient to use From hitting the power button to ready to function is around 10-15 seconds. If I use bluetooth I don't even need to get my phone out of it's holster or pocket. When I am travelling and need to deal with a work email I am often faced with the choice of struggling with the thumb keyboard of my smartphone or the hassle of resuming my laptop from sleep, tethering my phone, retrieving the email message and then dealing with it on a real keyboard. Normally the thumb keyboard wins, but the redfly quick boot and pair time combined with the fact that the email is already on my smartphone makes it a no brainer for all but the shortest replies. 2. Great Battery Life I've yet to run my Redfly battery out yet, and it charges my cell phone while I use it! This is great for long meetings or all day seminars where you want to have access to email or note taking but can't always get access to a power socket. My laptop has only a couple of hours at best, base model netbooks with 3 cell batteries are likewise only a few hours. 3. Can replace my laptop on vacation When I am vacation I will take my phone, but find I am also carting my laptop to deal with email and light web browsing (reservations, finding tourist info etcetera). With the Redfly I can leave my laptop at home. Things that could be improved: 1. No Ethernet Sometimes when you travel a WiFi hotspot is not available and data roaming charges are just horrible. This is the main weakness with using the Redfly as a laptop replacement while on vacation. If your phone doesn't have wifi then things are even more grim. 2. Browser performance This is more an issue with windows mobile devices in general, but the limited cpu and memory capabilities of the devices can make browsing to be somewhat of a chore. I'm using Opera 8.65 with an ATT Tilt as the latest Opera Beta doesn't work with the Redfly, things may be better if/when that incompatability gets resolved. 3. Video Performance You not going to use the Redfly combined with your smartphone to replace a portable DVD player.

Do not buy into all the "This is a Foleo" or "Buy a EEE PC instead" arguments. Yes its true that the Redfly does not give you full laptop capabilities, it should also be noted that you have absolutely zero maintenance with a Redfly. There is only one thing you have to do with it; charge it every couple days. Grab it and go. The USB ports on the back allow you to connect a number of things. Mouse, USB memory, I like to use a LED flex light when I am working in bed. Some apps do not work, mainly video playback, and some browsers like the latest Opera or Skyfire. This is a good device for someone who is a power ppc user.

I can't believe how much easier it's been to actually type and send an email from my Tilt phone. Viewing and typing word doc's, spread sheets, etc. has become so much more portable for me. My hands aren't small by any means so typing on my phone's keyboard has not been easy, in fact I do very little of it lately. I hate getting the stylus out, too.
Now the Redfly came along at a price I could afford and things have really opened up as far as my phone and I are concerned! After very little practice I and my large hands have mastered a pretty good pace. From a woman's standpoint: 1) it fits in my purse, which really matters when you don't want to lug a purse AND a laptop bag. 2) it looks really sharp, color-wise and the feel of it, almost like a leather-type surface yet seems to offer great protection from scratches hauling it in and out of my purse. It could come in an all-black version for the guys though. The stretchy drawstring bag it comes with is perfect - form-fitting and added protection from items in my purse. 3)I feel a laptop is more cumbersome for me and this size is so "haul-able", not heavy at all but with some heft to it - not cheap feeling. 4) Since being a woman, I have the option to say looks are important in my gadgets, I like the "prettiness" of things lol, and I would like to have my home screen rendered on the Redfly, although that could very well be the phone's issue. 5) It's so easy to get the Redfly out of my purse, hit the power button, hit the bluetooth button and I'm looking at my phone's screen, NO waiting at all. Ready for a quick/easy addition to the grocery list as we're driving to the store. Or to look up directions on Google Maps and have a much larger viewing area to go by. The power button is flush with the side and requires little pressure to operate, which can be a downfall if carried in a purse as I've seen the green "power" lite on already when pulling out the Redfly, probably from something in my purse, thinking "crap, the battery's probably almost drained", but then the awesome battery life of the product let me do everything I needed to do and still had life left so not a thing wrong with THAT! Video viewing would be awesome, that's a downer. And it'd be nice if some more app vendors would help out with compatibility. Sorry for the rambling but I just can't say enough good about this product. Overall, I'm ecstatic with my purchase!!! It has opened up my relationship with my phone to a point where my husband is getting jealous!
