Beware of the hype. It is hgreen, but not very functional.
It has a build in GPS but does not, at the time, accept GPS navigation software. To enter numbers in the key pad you have to use the miniture "Function Key" to overtride the letters. When you have used the Remarq, you have to put it to sleep manually. There is no manual except a pdf version, which has page numbers scrambled and the index is not bringing you to the desired selected subject. it is the worst product immaginable
I returned it after 24 hours of sheer frustration
