Much more than I ever imagned

I absolutely love this pocket pc. I switched from a Palm Z22 - this is so much nicer. I am still reviewing all the features. Great buy for the price

Pros and cons, but its very recommended

This is a great purchase. Is easy to install programs although usually is not easy to find one compatible with windows mobile 5. The reproduction of videos and images is wonderful, it doesn't bring acrobat reader but you can install it. About word i have used it a lot, with an external keyboard that connects with an infrated port, and it works perfect, have all the basic functions and is easy to read (without making an eye effort). Some of the problems are that you cannot open two different word files at the same time, ad if you're going to open a huge word document (a book, for example) it usually stocks and you have to reiniciate windows. To connect it to a computer you must have the connector (obviusly) which is a little big, and the program of sincronization installed, so you cant just arrive to a place to connect it and download information, is not that easy. Is really light to carry, the battery lasts very long time, it have all the aplications you could need of an electronic helper for everyday: calculator, clock, alarm, word, notes (by entering text with the buttons or by just drawing in the screen), power point viewer (so you can check out that important presentation on the way), contacts list, space for an external SD card, etc. Also the bluetooth and the wi-fi connection are great. I recommend it very very much.

Not really ready for Prime Time

Purchased this PDA about 2 years ago, since thing it's been love hate relationship. To start off the SD card would drain all the power from the battery when left in the unit and the unit in the off position. HP provided an update about 6 months into my owning the device (kinda) and that problem appears to be resolved. The unit will not shut off by itself if an calendar alarm turns it on - that kills the battery too. The Windows Mobile OS is full of bugs - the unit won't come on sometimes, it requires a lot of resets and programs that appear to be closed are not "really" closed. You have to go in and make sure they're closed to conserve memory space. The WiFi works sometimes - I have a WPA enabled access point which gives the device problems. I just decided it just wasn't worth the trouble of using it for wireless access. All in all it was a good try by HP but they missed an opportunity to hit a home run. This is my 4th PDA and I won't be buying another one from HP.
