User Submitted HP iPAQ 1945 Pocket PC Reviews (cont...)Date: 2004-04-07 Great Handheld - Lack of Options I purchased this iPAQ for its price and size. Unfortunately, I didn't research the peripheral options. There are no keyboards designed for this iPAQ (the IR port is on the side), there are no mobile bluetooth keyboards on the market, there are no modems that fit the SD slot, there are no wired NIC that fit the SD slot, there is now a wireless network card which retails for $130, etc. I wanted something small that I could take notes in class and get and respond to email on the road. With no modem and no keyboard, this isn't been possible. Date: 2004-03-15 hp1945 poor performance/hp poor customer support This is the poorest performing handheld I have ever owned.(I have had 3- 2 palm 1 sony)> I have owned it for 6 months it has been repaired 4 times. It continually hard resets, then it will just lock up. Buyer beware!!!!!. HP ( the company) If there customer service gets any worse they are DOOMed!!! POOR...POOR...POOR You cant get any worse. The right hand does not know what the left is doing. There solution to every problem is to have your product shipped to them. The catch is you never know if they fix it or what they fixed. They send no information back to you and when you call to find out what they did you get the run around and noboby know anything. Then 2 days later you unit doesnt work again......Guess what Mr so n so you need to send your unit in for repairs....you get the picture. Buyer beware!!!!!!!!!!!! Date: 2004-03-08 Didnt like the screen I bought this piece from amazon.com but am returning it, reason being i did not like the yellow tint that you see on the screen. Apart from that its a beauty to look at. Did not use it much so cant comment about other features; just wanted to share what others have said about the yellow tint. Recommend to first have a look at it in any store and then buy. Date: 2004-03-03 Great PDA....when it's not crashing. Eager to use windows (I'm not a Palm OS fan) & buy a unit I could "grow" into I bought my first iPAQ 1945 in Sept 2003. Worked great & I loved it! Until it died (completely unresponsive) Jan 2004. Thankfully I bought an extended warranty from Best Buy, so I was able to walk in & exchange it because HP sent my mail-in box to the wrong state... Now, four weeks later, it hard reset. I gave it benefit of the doubt, and 2 days later, it wouldn't stop hard resetting. I took care of pocket pc (esp having already exchanged it once!), kept it in a hard case, & by no means overused it (I never used it's full capacity in fact). Having read the other consumer reviews, & exchanged the product twice, I suspect there is a fatal desing/structural flaw with this unit. I hope to exchange mine for a different product. Be forewarned - if you are going to gamble on this model, make sure you buy a nice extended warranty to go with it!!
