Eggshell, fragile screen [Posted on 2005-10-04]
I've just cracked my fourth ipaq screen in four years. They know they've got a problem but they just won't fix it. Why? So that we'll just buy another PDA, and another PDA, and another PDA...

Screens only crack because of STUPID USERS who dont know how to take care of the product, and DROP THEM. [Posted on 2005-11-01]
What else will happen to an LCD screen if it is dropped? IT WILL CRACK - Plain and simple. Be careful, and dont drop your PDA's!

very durable, good value [Posted on 2005-12-07]
i have had one of these bad boys for 3 years, i have hard reset it twice and have had no problems with the screen breaking(i dont drop stuff that cost $300[at the time] so there is no problem)

the pocket office apps are nice, although they require you to convert from pocket to regular format each time. the ActiveSync software is majorly flaky, especially with bluetooth, but i just stopped synchronising and only used it to install programs. the button layout of the PPC is very comfortable, the screen is fairly bright, and over all it is worth 200$$

i am getting rid of my iPaq and swithcing to the palm T|X(which is the same price as the iPaq was when new and has much nicer...everything!!)

hope this helped

Excellent! [Posted on 2006-04-05]
I've had this little bugger for almost a full week now, and I must say, I think it was the best investment I've made concerning tools for my career (freelance writing). The Pocket version of Word is the handiest thing for an English Major on the run. I can work on whatever writing projects I have going, whenever or wherever I have the chance, and it is fully compatible with my Win XP desktop at home. And with it's organizer capabilities, it certainly eliminated a TON of the clutter in my bookbag/purse. (Before, I was carrying a writing notebook, a planner, post-it-notes for the planner, etc etc--now the h1945 has replaced darn near all of it!)

I gave this unit 4 out of 5 stars, only because I've been having difficulty with getting the Bluetooth to work, and I had to soft reset it once. Of course, this could very well be due to my inexperience with setting up wireless technology.

All in all however, I have had an excellent experience with this unit so far; I was particularly pleased with the fact that my unit came with a travel and a car charger plug to complement the USB sync cable. Had to go out and buy an audio adapter jack though, but I bought a refurbished one, and it all comes out in the wash anyway.

So, there you have it. I was originally led to believe handhelds were only for organizer purposes, but I have seen the light! lol. They are nearly as flexible as the user wants them to be, which is a very nice trait to have in a handheld.

ipaq 1945 worse device I have ever used [Posted on 2007-11-26]
In my profession I use many electronic devices from pc's to measuring devices. This unit is by far the most unreliable of anything I have used to date. I've been trying to use my ipaq for simple pda purposes and it always has some sort of problem from not syncing with my pc at work or at home to just not turing on or off at times. It has lost information more times than I can count and it just doesn't want to go on line with the wireless card that I bought. I took it to my local Best Buy and was told to buy another unit because this one is just not usable because of the reliability issue. They didn't even want to look at it. I wish I could just return it but unfortunatly I don't have the online information to do so, I guess I'm just out the price of admission...$200 plus. I wouldn't buy another ipaq if my life depended on it.
