Hp supplies little or no service [Posted on 2007-04-30]
I bought the 2495 in Oct 2006, it would not sync. It never has. I bought the stores service agreement incase of problems. WELL, until your warrenty runs out it's useless. Finally with some flashlight looking we found the connections in the bottom of the unit that allow it to connect for sycn were unattached and bent over. I went online twice for help from Hp. They kept saying to redo the ram. YIKES. Finally we sent it to one of Hp's many contracted service centers. They want $250 to repair it. Said the damage isn't their fault. Tell me who's it is, if it has never worked? After moving up the ladder three times and getting the same we won't repair it. It is now being sent back without any service. Hp provides NOTHING. I would avoid this pocket Pc at all costs. It's just not worth it.
Should have been disclosed [Posted on 2007-07-16]
I received the product with a sticker on the box showing that it had been returned because the screen freezes. The screen did in fact freeze to the point where it was impossible to use. I went to the HP site and re-loaded the ROM for WM5 but _not_ the update. Now it works much better but still is reluctant to start from being in sleep mode overnight at times. I will admit that the price I paid was more than $100.00 less than any other posting for the same item I have seen. I felt duped however when I received it with known problems. This should have been disclosed.
iPAQ hx2495 Pocket PC [Posted on 2007-07-30]
I have Owned twice this model (I broke the screen on the first one), but I guess I never had that problems, maybe sometimes the battery It's not long lasting as one would like but it gives at least 3 hrs of wireless internet. I have loaded many programs that work pretty good including a ROM for a TI-89 calculator and it works just great (the Ti89 is like $300)
I found that anytime I'm having a frozen screen a soft reboot is more than enough. WM5 doesn't close the programs and that's why you sometimes sun out of memory.
Highly recommended [Posted on 2008-01-29]
I bought this iPAQ for my wife who is an Internal Medicine resident doctor.
Basically, the only reason for purchasing this product was so that she could use "Epocrates" software (kinda, a database containing various medical information) on it. The installation was really easy, and so far (nearly after a year of heavy usage) she has not had any problems with the device.
Better yet, in addition to custom installed software, there's a bunch of other goodies there: MS Office Word, Excel, etc.
... and games! If you've ever used Linux on your PC, you probably know a very addictive game: "SameGNOME". Well, this game is preinstalled on this iPAQ. So, if you are a busy professional, take my advice: do NOT start playing this game: it's extremely hard to quit. ;-)
I would highly recommend this device. It's a very good choice. No complaints at all.
Great Product [Posted on 2008-02-08]
This is a really great product I use every day. The battery lasts a long time and it's very user friendly. Would recommend.
