Hand held chess.

Anyone have any experience with any good digital chess hand-helds? I have a program on my phone that works fine, my only concern is killing the battery on my phone by using it so much. :x

This one looks good, albeit costly, though the piece design seems strange to me. Was wondering if anyone had any experiences with it.

Or could recommend something similar?

Thanks!

1750 playing strength handheld that costs $90? No save game / pgn database support? That's a bit old-tech now, isn't it?

Your point about phone battery issues is valid ... but just how long do you tend to have your app. running? Even with a chess engine running full-blast,  I'd daresay you use your phone as your primary analysis engine?  Most people I know use a laptop/desktop for analysis and use their mobile phone's chess engine to quickly look something up on the go.
