beam me up Jornada [Posted on 2000-08-08]
I have been using the Journada 690 for about one month and am highly delighted with it. With its built in Microsoft Office programs and that familiar MS Desktop view. All this coupled with the quality one expects from HP. I also own a HP notebook. The quality and engineering is second to none. I have a 1 1/2 hour train journey each day to work and the Journada allows me to to write reports and spreadsheet. Then all I need to do is download the ifnroamtion to my desktop...voilla. The screen is great and the keyboard is just right without it being to cramped. This is an excellent unit if one does not need or want to carry around a heavy notebook or laptop. In fact I have just bought a friend of mine the 690 as a present.

I am not going to give a review. I will just say that it is worth every dime of your money for the Jornada!
Absolutely Great [Posted on 2001-03-16]
I have had the HP Jornada 690 for several months now. I havent seen any regrets for my purchase. I bought it because I like the idea of having a keyboard and i dont like the look of the Palm Pilots. This unit is a bit heavier than its previous versions, however you get so much more for your $. Its ability to connect to the internet and SYNC with your computer are Headache free to say the least. I previously owned a Compaq handheld, I have since found it a new home. I would recomend this unit to anyone interested in purchasing a Handheld PC. It is worth every bit of the money you spend on it.
From the iPaq to the Jornada 690 [Posted on 2002-05-12]
Well, having used palm and a Casio EM-500 and then the iPaq 3760, I have to say that the Jornada 690 fits my needs the best of them all. The only drawback to the unit is the size and weight. The speed is slower than a PPC but you get a much clearer screen, an interface that is exactly like your desktop windows and lots of built in stuff. The other nice thing about this unit is the built in keyboard. Nice to take to meetings and type your notes and then sync back at your desk later. Overall if you want to get away from the handwriting recognition, this is definitely the way to go. Just remember, it is heavier and bigger. Good luck!
Excellent product. Better than most of Pocket PCs [Posted on 2003-08-21]
I have been using this handheld PC for over two years. HP invented a wonderful product! It handles my daily PIM, note-taking and even PowerPoint presentation (with VGA-out card). It can also do wireless. Another big advantage is its long battery life. The high-capacity battery has tested well over 12 hours. I was sad why most manufacturers discontinued their Handheld PC product line (except NEC-MobilePro 900, DoCoMo Sigmarion III) and embraced Pocket PC (has size advantage but without keyboard). The pre-installed Internet Explorer is kind of outdated so I cannot get access to some websites (ironically, Microsoft's own hotmail.com!!). No doubt, I will continue using this handheld PC! Highly recommended!
