Not perfect, but a great value September 3, 2008

So far, I am very pleased with my iPAQ. This is my first PDA, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I bought mine mainly to use with an English-Spanish dictionary. The screen is clear and has good resolution.
From the pictures and videos I saw online, I didn't care much for the look of it. But now I am quite pleased with the way it looks. It is small, has a nice metallic looking finish on the front, and I like the feel of the black rubber material on the back. I think the buttons on the front could be better. They feel a little flimsy, but they are acceptable and I haven't had any problems.
Some have complained about the speaker being on the back of the device. It would have been better if they could have put it on the front, but it is no big deal. The speaker is loud enough for a small device like this(Media Player which comes with the iPAQ can play MP3 songs). I imagine most people will hold the device in their hands and not place the iPAQ on a table top, so blocking the sound shouldn't be an issue. Anyway, you can plug headphones into the iPAQ.
I didn't know too much about PDAs and Windows Mobile (It came with Windows Mobile 6) before I bought this. I was worried about the time it would take to start the device. I found out it turns on in about 1 second. What I like is that I can use my dictionary, turn the device off, turn it back on later, and in a second I'm back to the dictionary. I don't have to wait.
I installed ActiveSync on my PC to sync with my iPAQ. When I connect them via USB it syncs automatically. I was worried ActiveSync would be a nuisance or HP would install some nagging software that asks me to check for updates or something like that, but that wasn't the case. ActiveSync only pops up when I connect the two. Also, sharing files is easy. To copy a file from my computer to my PDA, I just drag-and-drop the file using Windows Explorer.
Another thing I wasn't sure about was how the expansion SD memory card would be inserted. I didn't like that it is inserted in the side without any cover. I thought it might stick out, but actually it sits flush with the edge of the side. To remove it, I would have to first push it in for it to pop out. I've never had it pop out by accident.
There are a few annoyances. When I connect the iPAQ to Wi-Fi a small blue light stays on in the top-left corner. I'd prefer to have an option to turn the light off, but I can live with it. Scroll buttons on the side to move a page up and down would have been nice, that way I could hold the device and scroll on a page using the same hand. It is not convenient scrolling using the buttons on the front-bottom.
Overall, I am very pleased with the iPAQ and think it's a great value for the price. I would wait before you buy a case for it. I like the black protector that HP provided.

This is a great PDA for running epocrates and looking up other related information when away from the computer. It has great software, but battery life is limited.

I love it. All functions are great. It is everything you need in a handheld computer.

Great product came on time and was in great condition as it was refurbished. The longer I have it and learn the options it has the more fun I have and the more useful the handheld becomes.
this is a great pda August 13, 2008

This is a great overall device. It loads programs very quickly, and so far has handled just about everything I throw at it. I used to own a palm tungsten e2, but after using this I will probably never buy another palm product. The screen is huge and browsing the web on this device is just about as good as on a desktop computer or laptop. The pages load very Quickly and the only page I have found it cannot load is youtube, because my web browser has no flash support(I am using Opera browser 9.5 beta).I like to add third party applications and so far I have not encountered any problems with adding programs to the device. the only thing that bothers me is that the battery life on this is not as good as in my palm. they both use the same size battery, but the Ipaq has so much more processing power, it is not even a fair comparison. The build Quality is very good, and the Ipaq feels very good in the hand thanks to it's rubberized back panel.
overall, I would strongly recommend this device for anyone looking for a good pda with lots of functionality.
