I have the 620, non bluetooth version. I like it apart from Asus never
answer emails if you have questions, and if you want any Asus spares like
stylii - I can't find any UK suppliers and Asus don't help. Lord knows what
will happen if I ever need a battery- except buy a new machine, they aren't
easily changeable like some other makes either. And they don't seem to
bother with OS upgrades. Oh- and I can't find a charger for non 220V
operation.
It has the option to automatically backup when the battery gets low, I think
the BT version has built in memory for this, it doesn't need the CF memory
card. Mine comes with another backup utility that I can run when I want too,
but I can manually run the automatic low battery one too.

But I do like the machine, and think it's good value for money. Scan have
the machine for £200 just now. But if you think you will need any Asus
accessories look for them before you buy the machine.

(there's a link through to the pdf manual here- follow downloads)]
and there is a bug fix in the downloads- they call it 'fix snap sounds' or
something weird, but there's a crackle when sounds are playing, this helps
improve things.

There's an A620 review here: http://pocketmatrix.com/reviews/a620/
and http://www6.tomshardware.com/mobil [...] tml#guides

They may give a little help as the BT version is similar.
