User Submitted HP iPAQ 2215 Pocket PC Reviews (cont...)

1. Cannot wirelessly sync with my IBM T40 Notebook using bluetooth. The online manual is not helpful. The "hold time" when I called the HP technical helpline is about 20-30 minutes, and did not solve the problem. They suggested that I call Microsoft or IBM. I even went to the BlueTooth convention, the "expert" could not get the BlueTooth feature to work.

2. Short battery life.

3. I turned on the PDA after not using it for 10 days and found that it completely ran out of power (even though it had been in the "off" position) and lost all data on it.

Advice: do not waste money on this product. It is high on advertisment but low on quality and performance.

Hp Ipaq does it again!
As a Sophomore student in college i had my share of PDA's and after trouble times dealing with my Toshiba and way out-dated Palm Pilot, i finally made the upgrade to the Ipaq 2215. First of all, the rubber grips is a nice addition from the accident waiting to happen Ipaq 39**, it also gives a nice, classy look to the interface. Second, the size is a welcome since in the earlier models they were big & bulky without mentioning the additional CF sleeve added.The memory is nothing speculator (64MB Ram & 32MB ROM), so if you plan on adding 3rd party software, be prepared to cough up extra cash for a SD or CF card.The bluetooth is a nice welcome, but in a campus where wi-fi is connected all over, does little unless i have to use my friend Ecrisson cell phone to connect for web browsing.Ladies & Gentlemen, who doesn's love how Hp once again step over their competition with the SD & CF slot already designed into the 2215.This is nothing new, but the newer models coming out on the Toshiba e405 and other HP ipaqs doesn't include both slots, another reason to shell out the cash for it. The 2215 model is very sleek and rounded perfect for a nice look to those non-pda users who often peek to see what you are doing. I love the 3.5 screen, which project the clearest and brightest screen around in the market. This a very nice PDA except sometimes the screen will freeze and crash you can lose everything, unless you save your files on a SD or CF memory card. Besides that, this is the perfect PDA to buy, until a upgrade is put out in the market.
Oh yeah, do yourself a favor and spend the $70-75 dollars 2-3yr warrant, because believe you are going to need it, if you use your PDA for everyday use like i do.

PDA Power in a small package.
I have had my HP-iPAQ 2215 for about a month now and it has performed nicely. I have only had a couple of little speed bumps, but all in all it seems to be a very nice unit. I had a Sony Clie prior to this and had tons of problems with that unit. Mainly the sync function. Could not get it to sync. I usually don't have problems with Sony but their PDA's leave a lot to be desired. I decided to get the HP because of size and the CF/SD option. I also like the built in Bluetooth. It has proved to be a wise choice so far. Hope this helps.

Fomer Palm User
When my Palm 505 died I was at the store that day. I was familiar with Palm so naturally started with other Palm products. I am a basic user. Nothing too fancy. Very dependent on calendar, contacts and notes but not much Email since I can do that on my Nextel. The more I looked at Palm the more bored I was. Same old stuff. Titanium was OK but nothing special. I wanted change. The move to Ipaq was not monumental but got me to a Windows based system which is a bit more compatible with my desk top Windows system. But you know what really sold me? I can put powerpoint on my Ipaq and actually use the Ipaq to make a brief presentation through a projector leaving the laptop home. Slick. I did have to reload the software once to solve a sync issue but other than that it is flawless. Beautiful color screen. Easy instructions. [download the manual for details] Everything I wanted. I was also worried that I would have a problem moving my contact and date info that was on my Palm. Not an issue. synched the first time and everything came over to the Ipaq. If I were Palm I would be worried about the competition.

seems like a great device, but if sync doesn't work
you're in trouble. and for customer service, be prepared to read a hundred screens and waste hours. I got partial sync only, and in the end, my error message wasn't even listed after hours of trying to clear it up. If it doesn't work right off the bat, beware.
