5.0 out of 5 stars Targus CompactFlash 56k Modem best kept secret., August 28, 2001

By	Robert J. Smith (Wichita, Ks United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Targus PA560U Pocket Modem 56K V.90 (Electronics)

I have had a Pretec modem,which by the way I never could get to work,and now I have a Targus. Targus is much smaller,and I had it working in 10 Minutes. A very simple setup makes it easy to get online. I played with it till the early hours,accessing all my favorite websites.I paid a little more, but it was worth it. I am using a Jornada 545 with the Targus 56k modem,and the addition of the modem has changed my whole view of the possibilities of my pocket pc.I strongly encourage any Jornada user to try the Targus 56k modem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty damn easy, April 4, 2002

By	JFX (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Targus PA560U Pocket Modem 56K V.90 (Electronics)

I'm a total idiot when it comes to technology, so I was very worried about getting this modem, especially as Pocket PC 2002 isn't exactly child's play to fiddle with. Fortunately, the modem is incredibly easy to set up and use, and I couldn't have hoped for more from it in terms of speed and functionality - really simple, really quick.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Modem!, November 25, 2001

By	Luis Gallo "Luis Eduardo Gallo" (Valencia, Estado Carabobo Venezuela) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Targus PA560U Pocket Modem 56K V.90 (Electronics)

This is an outstanding compact flash modem for pocket or handheld PC's running Windows CE version 2.0 or higher. With the Targus Compact Flash 56k v.90 Pocket Modem there is no need to set it up, just plug it in, create a connection profile and you are set and ready to browse the Web. I bought it for my Cassiopeia E-125 (perfectly compatible)and I have been surfing the net with speed and easiness. The small dimensions of the modem allow you to carry it on your own pocket or in your pocket PC Case since it is also very slim. This excellent modem is a little bit expensive yet. Anyway, and in spite of the price, this is a must if you want to stay connected to the internet with your pocket pc wherever you are.
