The Sharp Zaurus SL-5600 Personal Mobile Tool is the most recent release in the 5000 series. As the owner of a Zaurus SL-5500, I was pleased to see the many hardware and software improvements Sharp has made in the 5600. The Zaurus SL-5600 retails for $499.00. The screen on the 5600 is bright and clear, somewhat brighter than the 5500 screen. Colors are vibrant and true. The screen is readable both indoors and outdoors, in darkness and bright sunlight. The front light can be turned off and on by a hardware button to save power.
The keyboard slides out and is comfortable for thumb-typing. An FN key serves the same purpose as the Ctrl key in most situations. Other special characters are available on the on-screen keyboard, which is accessible by tapping on the bottom taskbar.
