HP's Top of the Line iPaq [Posted on 2008-04-06] PROs:
=====
1. Adapters have backward compatibility to previous HP iPaq's. I can now use my previous iPaq that did not have a power source.
2. Uses Windows Mobile (although version 5 not 6). It is able to handle my Microsoft Exchange emails with no problems, as well as share tasks and calendars that's on my Exchange server.
3. Has the following main features - GSM/GPRS/EDGE/Bluetooth/GPS/802.11b Wi-fi. WiFi really helps me out at home or at hot spots if I want to do a quick check up on the news without having to go to my computer.
4. Having the QWERTY keyboard and capable business functionality has made my life easier. I'm able to do my work emails while I'm away from the office.
CONS (minor):
=============
1. GPS photo tagging is quirky (often times does not work, no fix).
2. Help files sometimes does not have the right paths or software.
3. VPN is hard to setup -- this is not an hp problem but a Windows one.
incredible¡¡ [Posted on 2008-04-06] It is the best phone I had a part of the treo 680. It has very good function and is quite fast. Very good ¡¡¡
The Best So Far [Posted on 2008-04-27] It's the best Pocket Pc- Phone ever. I have it now for a year and a half.
Keep searching for anything better but not yet. Everything you need in the palm of your hand. Mobile Phone, GPS, WEB, Mail, Games... Its Unlimited.
Do not buy this 'dumbphone' [Posted on 2008-06-08] This product is totally outdated. It has Wifi b instead of b/g, Windows Mobile 5 instead of 6, the camera is the worst I've ever laid my hands on, the video is ridiculous, it has no G3 internet (used in Europe and will be introduced in US), you have to pay for the GPS after 2 months, battery life is extremely short. Everything on this device is outdated and bad quality. HP Helpdesk people try to help you if there's a problem (and there are a lot) but do not know what they're talking about. Manual hardly explains anything. This thing, created in 2006, is WAYYYYYY overpriced. HP should discontinue it.
Save yourself some headaches [Posted on 2008-07-28] This product is horrible. I've been having alarm issues with this device since day one. At first the alarm does not work properly by either not firing or can't turn the darn thing off, tried to download the patches but it doesn't fix anything. And to aggravate things, the patch that I downloaded RESET EVERYTHING to the factory settings...you WILL LOSE everything(it does NOT come with backup software...so becareful). Expect to encounter these hard resets everytime you download a patch from HP. So you'll be re-installing any apps that you have in addition to setting up your outlook synch. The customer service people are clueless so it'll contribute to your aggravation. Also, setting up your mobile provider network isn't as simple either. Save your money and get something else that's NOT an HW6945...you'll save time and headache.
I was greatly disappointed with this product, will never touch another HP PDA again....waste of money.
