I was nervous about switching over to PocketPC from palm, and that I would lose my information,programs, capabilities... But boy was I wrong! The transition was as easy as pie!

This unit blows away the competition with features.

Of course it has WiFi and Bluetooth, is fully multimedia compatible. What really blew me away was the amount of software that it came with. While Palm boasts a large software library, it is also expensive to buy. Palm comes with the bare minimums installed - to sync with outlook you have to purchase software, for example. This PDA acts exactly like your Windows Based PC. It really is foolproof.

The store that I tested this out in had wireless internet running through it. This device was FAST, and had no problems connecting to every website that I tested it out on.

I have not been able to find a more comfortable PDA device with more features, or a better value than this one! If you're in the market for a new PDA, I'd buy this if I were you!

I thought this product was great. I had a prior Ipaq and upgraded when it finally went south after several years of use. I was impressed with this models speed and ease of use. I love the keyboard as it make entry very fast. I use an advanced medical program to access disease processes, check prescriptions, and drug interactions. This model handles it very well. The battery life is fine. I use it constantly. The case is nice but somewhat awkward (chairs with arms, seatbelts...).

The one negative of the product is the screen is not designed to withstand the slightest impact. Drop it and its gone (cracked...). I made the mistake of putting it in my shirt pocket and it slipped out while picking something off the floor. While my phone and former ipaq handled years of clumsiness, this product will absolutely not. It was an expensive mistake, but has not prevented me from buying another.

I love my IPAQ. I synch it with my Microsoft Outlook at the office and then I have all of my contacts and my schedule right at my fingertips! I don't think I would buy one with the keyboard next time, as I don't use it. It is just as easy to use the stylus to point and click the letters on the screen when entering a new item. Perhaps I would feel differently if I were using it for email or notetaking.

I love this item. It is an easy way to carry around a whole bunch of great systems in one handheld. I recommend this item to anyone that is looking for a great, organized pocket pc. The features are the best ever. Don't listen to those losers that say the screen cracks and it is a ripoff. This is actually an awesome tool to use anywhere.

Im giving this 3 stars because it make a satisfying thud when it disintigrated against the wall.

Appearenly the unit decided to update itself on the interwebs shortly after I connected it to my PC - Thanks to undocumented incompatibilities with windows 7, the firmware update failed and the unit essentially self destructed. HP was NO help trying to fix it (way past it's End-Of-Life) but that's the price you pay for buying stuff that's outta production.

Nonetheless for the hour or so that it was operational, this thing was terriffic! Lightweight, easy to use and with a bright clear screen. I was also pleased that despite it being out of production for years it was brand new when it arrived, the price was fantastic, the seller shipped it quickly and it was exactly what I wanted. Such a shame technology doesn't play nice with itself sometimes.

I'd recommend it, but DO NOT UPDATE IT!!!!!
