Acer describes the N35 GPS as "The perfect guide, a classy companion, and a valuable friend, the Acer n35 GPS Handheld has something for everyone. With an integrated GPS receiver that virtually disappears when folded up, in addition to built-in multimedia and PIM capabilities, the Acer n35 is like a chauffeur: elegant, helpful and discreet. And better yet - everything fits in your pocket!"

ZDNET says "The n35 joins a limited range of handheld/GPS combos, including the Windows Mobile-based Mitac Mio 168 and Navman PiN 300 (they share the same hardware design), Garmin’s newly announced iQue M5 plus the company's well established PalmOS-based iQue 3600.....  The n35’s dimensions -- 7.2cm wide by 12cm deep by 2cm high -- are on the large side for a handheld, though it's reasonably lightweight at 165g. The GPS antenna is hinged at the top of the case, swivelling out when needed. When folded away the antenna fits flush at the back of the device, so you can sit the n35 flat on a desk if you want.... The moderately specified Acer n35 won’t suit anyone looking for sophisticated handheld usage beyond the navigation side of things. The Destinator software is good in parts, but the rough edges we found around spoken instructions are pretty fundamental. In its niche, then, the Acer n35 GPS is fair, and well priced at £249.99 (inc. VAT). But if you're in the market for a handheld-based navigation solution, we suggest you do some extensive research first."
