Excellent product if you need the features. [Posted on 2005-02-23] HP IPAQ HX2410. If you need WiFi, Bluetooth, SD and flash card this PocketPC really hits the spot. I've had it for about 2 months and took it to Asia. Picks up airport and local hotspots no problem. Buttons are convenient and easy to not accidentally push. The toggle button is a bit small for my fat fingers, but functional. The voice memo button is especially well protected from accidental pushing, but does take a second to find when you really want to record something. I like being able to turn it on and view the start screen through the plastic flip top.
Outdoor visibility is good.
Handwriting recognition is exception even without training it. With the new `training' feature you can be pretty sloppy and the PDA still figures it out.
Battery life is exceptional, I purchased a 2nd battery and charger because I was going to remote places in Asia, and couldn't be without the PDA. Turns out I never needed the second battery. All day off and on usage totaling 4-6 hours was no problem for 1 standard 1440 mAh battery.
Also makes a terrific MP3 player (I added a 1GB SD card)
The only problem I've had is occasional freezing of the OS. The more I use it the less this has happened (go figure) A soft boot fixes it, maybe a bios upgrade from HP will fix this.
2/2006 update - After a year of use. There is slight scratching where I write the most and those areas are less sensitive to writing. A screen cover may be a good idea. I've updated to windows mobile 5 - better exchange support a bit more polished interface - no backup program. For most people probably not worth it. I added an 8GB CF Disk (ST68022C-RK) Very nice I use the disk to store WMA, there is slight pause each time you access the drive but when listening there is no pause. Definitely uses more battery but still can get 5 hours of continuous audio usage. Still happy with the product.
