Decently Cheap

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you already own a good digital camera, make this your stunt camera.
Review: Having fun taking impromptu pictures with the Handspring Treo 600 PDA/Phone, trying to print them out later on my Canon i900D photo printer proved an ugly experience. The 640x480 pixelated mess barely look fine on the monitor, and when printed out,...

Decent Photos, But WHOAH, Poor Quality

Date of Review:  Sep 5, 2004

The worst electronic product I have ever bought.

Date of Review:  Jul 27, 2004
The Bottom Line: Do not buy. For that matter, I would be suspect of buying any Gateway product, given my experience with this product.
Review: I would have done better to purchase a toy camera. The pictures it took would have been about the same and it would have saved me the aggravation and time trying to get help and repair service from Gateway.

This was my second digital...
