I do. Provided you don't:
- plan on using one of the "problem" CF cards (that aren't sleep mode compliant)
- plan on using it in a disco, noisy bar or bowling alley to remind you of your appointments (the speaker is too weak). That said, most of the time (about 98% of the time), I hear my alarm sound since I use very loud sound bytes for my reminders. I even hear them on the fairly noisy public bus.
The screen is simply awesome and I don't notice it being any slower than my old Axim X51v was.
There does seem to be a Quality Control issue at the HP plant making the devices, but I would still recommend that you buy the 211 (if you are in the US) as you'll get it faster, and the Home Office folks are much more customer-friendly. Just don't buy it until you're ready to immediately begin using it so you can discover any defects before the 21 day "free look" period expires.
