1.0 out of 5 stars Worst phone I've ever used, July 8, 2009

By	PhilW "TechGuy" (NYC, NY) - See all my reviews

This phone is probably the worst phone I've ever seen, and certainly the worst phone I've ever used. It is actually user-hostile. On several occasions I've needed to use it to listen to a long conference call, and after about 15 minutes, te phone gets too hot to hold comfortably against the face. On one occasion after an hour of use, the screen started flashing a message about overheating battery!

Battery life is miserable.

There is no way to lock the touchscreen so holding it against your face can accidentally activate the soft-buttons, one of which is "disconnect" (Which by the way is inexplicably tiny and directly above the "Hold" button. On the subject of the screen, WHY did they make all the butons so small that it's virtually impossible to press them without the stylus?

Battery life is miserable

the speaker is a mystery to me. when using the speakerphone function, the volume is so low as to make it unusable,and ringer volume is a joke. But when listening to music using the media player, it's very loud. WHY?

Battery life is miserable.

If you activate the security lock on the phone, 50% of the time you can't answer a call. You can try, and the phone thinks it has, but it doesn't actually connect the caller. People calling me have learned to just leave a quick message and wait for a call back.

Battery life is miserable.

Button responses are delayed so you're never quite sure if you've actually connected or disconnected a call. It can take upwards of a second to register. Maddening.

Battery life really sucks.

As a PDA, though, it's not bad, other than the miserable battery life. It's just that I thought I was buying a PHONE, not an email machine with a buggy afterthought of a voice device thrown in.

1.0 out of 5 stars Below par attributes, October 16, 2009

By	Adekunle M. Adebayo (Lagos, Nigeria) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this phone a couple of months ago and I am very unhappy with the overall product attributes. Below is a list of things I detest about the IPAQ 910:
1. Speaker, earpeice and ringer volume is poor especially when using in slightly noisy enviroments
2. Action buttons do may not work on first press and phone takes too long to process requests
3. Some vital functions cannot be accessed by the keypad except by using the stylus
4. The notepad and word mobile software files get corrupted easily making file recovery sometimes impossible
5. While talking with the phone next to your face, a lot of functions are activated in error
6. Device takes too long to wake after the backlight shuts off (slow processor or device programming)
7. Camera function is the worst I've ever used. It takes a while for the picture to register after you have pressed the shutter. This creates a difference in the picture you actually wanted and that which the IPAQ 910 captures
8. When sending a text message to multiple users, phone does not let you pick all your recepients at once. You will need to keep selecting "add new recipient" every time

The list goes on and on. I wish I never bought this product. Software is bad and general engineering not very impressive.

1.0 out of 5 stars worse cell every, October 13, 2009

By	Ms. Judy (Edmond, OK United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the worse phone I have ever used. Can't get the phone to ring and help desk doesn't help. Sent it back to HP for repair and was charged $240 and still doesn't work. Do not buy!
