thanks for the detailed review.

I have a question,

does Bluetooth support PAN networking? as opposed to dial-up?

I don't know, but I do not expect it. I have never used PAN, and do not know quite how to set it up.

Just got my 903 in the UK from Green Reader. I was a bit worrried with minimal contact but it just turned up on my doorstep this morning. I did get a mail which was supposed to give me a tracking link but it was just a Google link which returned no result - strange way to do things.
It seems to be working OK but a bit slow. Mainly I want to just use it as a reader for PDF/EPUB documents so it seems really good for that. Being able to read a whole page from a PDF file of a journal article is great for me - and without having to reflow, convert or even use horizontal orientation.
Wireless set up easily, internet works (but very slow - is there a better browser?) and music all work. Why I'd want to use it to view photographs I'm not sure, but maybe looking at other visual material (diagrams, flowcharts) in an image format could be useful.
I did try (naievly!) to connect my Bluetooth headphones - that would be good but it seems that Bluetooth isn't really any use for anything. Is this likely to improve through firmware updates or is it a hardware limitation?
