Terrible Quality
The screen went out on the first one i purchased and the buttons didn't work on the replacement one compaq sent to me. Two months later I'm waiting on my third ipaq. Three other ipaq owners i know have experienced similar problems. Advice...Buy the HP.

Availability
I'm very interested in buying a Handheld iPAQH3650, unfortunately I have not been able to buy it because there is no availability of this product. Could you please tell me when will you have some available? I had wrote to Compaq and they told me that it has been so succesful that they can not supply the market at the same speed. Please advise about availability.

I think this is a great product but to satisfy customers availability is mandatory.

Thank you very much for your attention.

This Pocket PC is great!
I got this Pocket PC about a month and a half ago and I think is so cool. It is really easy to use, is very lightweight, very versatile, and fun. It is just like a regular computer it uses Windows for Pocket PC, which is similar to Windows 98 and includes all of the Windows programs such as Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, etc. With this PC you can read e-books, listen to music, take notes, and just about everything you can do on a normal computer. Accessories such as A GPS system, CF card, PC card, and a modem are available. You can also download games for this machine also. The IPAQ is definitely the best Pocket PC or Palm on the market, though it is very expensive, it is well worth it.

Buyer beware! Serious quality issues
The Ipaq has serious quality issues including dust under the screen (!!), problems with the stylus housing, and problems with some of the buttons. Compaq customer service also suffers, no doubt due to the back log of complaints on the Ipaqs already in the hands of consumers. My advice is simply not to buy one of these. Take a look at the Casio models instead. They're high-quality machines and beat the Ipaq in several areas, including screen quality, sound quality, and, most importantly, manufacturing quality....

Sleek Tech with an eye on expandablity
Mr. Bits here to give you the straight dope. What we have here: Great screen, that is actually visible in sunlight. Expandability for CF cards AND PCMCIA(PC Cards). This will prove handy if you want add-ons later, like wired/wireless modems. The speaker is built into the navigation button for suprising directional sound. You can also play mpeg video and mp3 file formats. I hooked this bad mama jama up to a pair of Microsoft amplified PC speakers and you'd swear the sound was being generated by a High Quality Sony CD-Player. You've got the ablility here to connect to your MS Outlook. At about 206Mhz of processing power, this thing is processing at 100 times faster than Jethro Clampett. What you don't have: The ease of use when synchronizing with your PC that you will with the Palm Products.(think long and hard about this if you are a computer newbie). Also no love for Mac-Heads like my buddy Andy, the cat keeper. The connection on the cradle will worry you more than a Porsche hood ornament tacked on with duct tape. With the addition of programs like Pocket Pics and Hairy Palm you can view quality Jpeg/gif images with ease. That's right. In conclusion, forget all I've said(despite my truth). You're not here for facts. You just wanna look cool. A pocket full of food stamps and a cell phone is all to common for you. Pagers are played out like boy bands in the year 2001 and something has to fill those stubby fingers when the Starbucks

runs dry. You couldn't get a girl's number if you had caller ID, but hey this sleek little chunk of sexy technology may give you the self confidence needed to fill out a personals ad on the web.
