Excellent, but beware non-standard headphone jack!
Everything I've read in the other reviews is correct. Pocket PC finally matches Palm in size and weight, having surpassed this other operating system in all other aspects. However, what made HP decide to put a non-standard 2.5 mm plug for audio in the 1910 instead of the standard 3.5mm minijack? One of the reasons why I use a Pocket PC is its ability to play audio, and if this is high in your priorities, make sure that you have this question solved. What an unfortunate way to create an uncalled for problem in what otherwise is an extraordinary product!

Good enough !
I bought this unit 3 months ago. It is very compact, it fixes my pocket, it has brilliant colors.

I have all I need in this unit, pocket excel and word. There are buttons to access quickly your contants or inbox.

I am very pleased with this HP iPAQ 1910. It is my first electronic unit of this kind. A really nice invent !

You won't be dissapointed
What a fanastic little machine. I traded in my Toshiba e330 as I was not impressed by the screen. What a difference, the quality of the Hp 1910 screen is simply brilliant. The stylish looks are also unsurpassed. However my one worry was the processor speed. Well this is no longer a problem as there are freeware downloads availible which overclocks the machine to 300MHZ (very simple to install). Apparently the HP 1910 is factory set to run at a lower speed than it can handle. So in my opinion there really is no reason to choose any other device in this price range. You won't go wrong with this running at 300MHZ.

Previous negative points have been small battery size (not been a problem so far), lack of a cradle (why does anyone need one?) no protective case (mildly annoying), and lack of expandability. If none of these bother you, you'll be a very happy owner.

BUY IT!!!!

Great small form factor
I have been a past Palm OS fan (former Palm III and Handspring Deluxe ownwer) and still feel the Palm OS is the best bet for a simple / terse environment. However the iPAQ 1910 is a great size and design also the Pocket PC OS provides a better integrated environment for more searous tinkering. My only complaint would be about the small button sizes, but this is a result of the small size.

I like it very much -- Optimum solution
I have been looking for a PDA for quite some time. I have started with considering the Palm products naturally then I have focused on Sony Clie series. When I was to make a decision between SJ-30 and T665 which was a though one for me because SJ-30 didnt have MP3 play capability and I didnt like the lenghty size of T665, I have noticed this baby, HP-1910 which was fitting into my requirements perfectly with the same price tag with T665. It looks beautiful with a perfect, slim design, has MS Windows CE operating system that offers a lot of utility programs free like Word, Excel and Media Player. Plus, it has SD memory card expansion slot which is a bonus for me because my digital camera is using the same type of memory card. The battery life looks allright too (It needed recharge after 2 days of frequent use). And all comes with a reasonable price tag. The one problem I had is that I still couldn't find a peculiar case which I belive is a must to keep the large screen safe. Another point as someone else pointed out is that it was locked out several times during the first days of usage. I used the hidden reset button on the side of the machine to break the lockout which didn't cause me lose my data and settings. However, once in a while I used the method of remove and replace of battery to break the lockout which caused me lose everyhing. So be carefull about it. I was reallly ... off at that time but I couldn't afford to return it for a refund or service because I liked it very much and it never locked out again since then.
