Rating: - a "real" review
I bought 2 of these last year for my daughters (ages 11 and 13). They work very well and we have had no problems. I signed up for a texting plan also but have since canceled it due to the fact that my kids now have cell phones and use those for texting. My kids do use these for instant messaging though...not as often as I would like considering that I paid the original price of $150 but they do use them. It's nice that they can take them any where in the house instead of having to be at the computer. The keyboard is good, as well as the backlight, display, and battery life (rechargable). I ...

Rating: - It requires of a high additional payment (hidden).
This affirmation is false "IM all you want for FREE! That's right...FREE!"
The salesman hides that he requires himself of an additional payment. Hidden information, is deceptive. I only work 8 days. Now the device shows to a message asking a payment to continue using it. The value to pay by a year is of U$110
Rating: - Watch Out for the new mandatory monthly fees!!!
Previously I would have recommended a zipit. I owed the first generation product and it was perfect; communication was reliable and free. My ONLY complaint w/the Z1 was the black & white screen wasn't back-lit.

Rating: - Kid loves it!
I bought the Zipit Z2A for my 16 y/o son and he loves it. He can chat with his friends from anywhere in the house rather than sitting at his computer. He brings it with him to his friend's homes and to local area hot spots. The biggest issue I had with the Zipit Z2A is that it doesn't come with the mini SD card or card reader to save and transfer music and photos. Other than that its a great item.
Additional purchases that are required:
A mini SD card to save music or photos.
A card reader to transfer music and photos from your PC.
Rating: - Do the other reviewers sound like real people?
Don't they sound a LOT like fake reviews that would be written by someone in the manufacturer's marketing department? Somehow they don't pass the "smell test" to me. (Here's a clue: Click on "See all my reviews" and you'll see that none of them has written any other reviews. If they were real people, I'll bet they probably would've.)
