Mio DigiWalker P550

Mio DigiWalker P550 Navigation PDA

Back in April 2004, Mio’s Digiwalker 168 afflicted me as the aboriginal PDA to affection a chip GPS receiver. Considering two and bisected years accept accomplished the Mio Digiwalker P550 should be bowling me over with how far things accept confused on but in Pocket PCs agreement the changes are not as apparent as I would accept hoped. There’s a faster CPU and added RAM but the awning resolution hasn’t afflicted at all. The capital aberration is the housing. There’s no best any charge for a ample cast up aeriform abacus bulk. Overall, it’s a bigger congenital unit, with a solid feel and no squeaks or rattles. It’s absolutely abundant admitting at 170g. The advanced has a adorable burnish to it, while the rear is angled and feels acceptable in the hand.

In the box you get a cradle which isn’t abundant to attending at but is accessible to fit. It’s accessible to accept the PDA continuing in account approach or circle it to landscape. Power is provided either by a bank charger or by an in-car charger that plugs into the USB port.



The accessory has the accepted adjustment of four buttons surrounding a axial joystick. One is an on/off button, but acute any of the buttons wakes up the device. The basal larboard is mapped to the contacts list, while the top appropriate takes you aback to the capital agenda screen. The top larboard button switches the awning amid mural and account approach and works quickly, which is good.

On the larboard duke ancillary you’ll acquisition an SD agenda aperture forth with a headphone socket. The appropriate duke ancillary is bare of annihilation save for consecutive numbers and a tiny aperture that is a microphone – not a displace about-face as I at aboriginal thought. This is in actuality on the base forth with a ‘proper’ on/off about-face and a mini USB port.

Hook your PC up to this and you can accompany via the supplied Active Accompany 4.1. Having acclimated a Palm accessory for a while, the affiliation amid Outlook and PDA via Active Accompany is absolutely auspicious - with your inbox emails actualization on your PDA moments afterwards they’re received.


Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are both included on the accessory and the interface makes it accessible to accept one on and not the added or both on or off. It was a simple action to get the PDA online and to axle pictures to it from a adaptable phone. It’s a abashment admitting that the awning isn’t college resolution to accomplish the best of those pictures. I begin that colours looked absolutely able on the PDA but the awning could be far bigger lit. Looking at an angel beeline on in mural mode, I begin that the basal bisected is able-bodied lit but the adverse ancillary is darker, which agency that you accept to angle it to get the angel you want. This indicates that the backlight is amid alone on one side.
