Well… actually I’m Korean using Raon Digital VEGA in Korea.

The thing I’m really impressed is service of the company.

They seem to know what users want and their speed of reaction is amazing.

My English skill is not so good. So I need to stop now.

Have nice day.

Just got mine a week ago. Love it! On the go, with the right software installed(try FSL Launcher for tabbed application launching), it is a great replacement for my Tungsten. It resumes from hibernation almost as fast as a PDA turns on(just don’t set a user password,as you can only log in with a USB keyboard). At home, a keyboard and external monitor gives a decent desktop experience with no more syncing of data!

I have to agree, this Raon Vega is pretty amazing. Only $879 on Dynamism.com, How can I go wrong?, the wifi and bluetooth dont really bother me, I already carry USB ethernet and USB wifi cards in my computer bag on a dialy basis. And I just configured my Blackberry 8700C to be a GPRS modem!, So now I can surf anywhere in the world with the Vega. Sure if Wifi, Bluetooth & GPRS were included it would be Awesome! but It seems pretty damn close the way it is now.

On Dec 3rd I’m getting a big check and I’m gonna order one and when I do I will reply back and let everyone know how the Vega really performs.

I’m trying to talk myself out of this one, but I’m having a hard time. This thing is not much bigger than my Palm Tungsten T5, has decent battery life, and is perfect for pen input, which I prefer. No built-in wireless sucks, but right now I carry a mini-laptop(Sharp Muramasa), the Palm, and a bluetooth cell. With this thing, I could ditch the laptop and Palm! For that, I think I can carry a couple of USB cards in my pocket.

Yup. It’s a damn shame about the Wifi + BT. They must have really run out of space in that thing and decided to launch rather than do another round of design work.
It’s probably the best ‘business’ decision.
Hopefuly a revised device will be available before long.

Personally, i think the device is so good that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages but they day I forget my USB stick and really need it will probably be the day I change my mind.

USB/3G connectivity via Nokia phone and Nokia s/w via cable is possible so i’m thinking of keeping a Nokia USB cable in my gadget bag at all times. Oh yes, I didn’t tell anyone yet. I decided to do a deal and keep the device. Despite my i7210 turning up tommorrow!

Apparently they’ll be trying to squash both into the next version of the Vega.

Boo, no integrated Bluetooth and WiFi is bad. No thanks Raon!
