What's Hot

Simple UI, decent features list, reasonable navigational performance

What's Not

Touch screen's lack of responsiveness, cheap look and feel, below average display

The FD-250 has most of the basics and a few extra features that will serve you well, but the lack of responsiveness of the touch screen is an issue.
