User Submitted HP iPAQ 1935 Pocket PC Reviews (cont...)

I had it on its charger while I was working and next think I know, there's a crack in the glass about an inch up from the bottom of the screen. I had never dropped this PDA, I was always very careful while using it. There was no reason for this to happen, and it did so without any outside interference.

And they really get you coming and going on this one. A replacement LCD screen with glass top (you can not buy the glass top alone for this model) is almost $200. That's about what the PDA costs in the first place!

Since this happened to me, I have seen where several other people have complained of the exact same thing happening to them. This is obviously a product default, and I would never recommend that anyone buy this model. I can't vouch for any of the other HP models, but this one is a definite waste of money. Don't take the chance.

THe most horrible purchase you can ever make
NEVER EVER buy an iPAQ. I bought one, and what do you know, just one month later, I pick it up and the screen is cracked. I treat this thing better than I would a baby, and I did not drop it or do anything at all to it. So I call HP, they tell me to send it in, and what happens? They want $200 to fix it. Well, I thought that was obviously a bunch of bull since I had just paid $300 for it. Apparantly all the 19xx line is like this. If you buy iPAQ, you are a fool. They don't give a crap about their customers, I am 17 with a temp job, how am I expected to come up with $200 to fix it, I spent gd long enought coming up with the $300.

The Hewlett-Packard 1935
I recently got an HP 1935. I was turned on by its cheap price, and since this is my first Pocket PC, I didn't want to invest in something more expensive. It's very little and light. Although it's not the fastes PDA on the market, I don't think there's really big difference since it takes not even a second for most things to load up. It lacks the Bluetooth which it has a Irda beaming thing. So you don't really need if you don't have anything else Bluetooth enabled.
My only turnoff is the screen. Already there's two scrates. I treat the thing like a baby. So I don't know how they got there. I recommend this PDA. But just be VERY carefl with the screen.

BUYER BEWARE, HP now gives Compaq service
I bought a 1945 from ERITech International (great place) for work about 1 month ago. I used the PDA 5 times and always had a screen protector on it. I took prestine care of the unit. I set it on my desk plugged in over-night to let it charge. When I left it, there was nothing wrong with it. In the morning I grabbed it and noticed that there was a crack all the way across the screen about 1 inch up from the bottom. I immediately started looking over the documentation and called HP. Their support people told me "Tough Luck!" They then proceded to tell me to send the unit in and they would put a new screen in it for $250. Well, you can get the whole PDA for less then that if you find a good deal. Absolute rip off. I, like others I have read about, do not need the entire LCD. We simply need the all too fragile glass sliver that they manufactured the thing with. I really think this PDA should have had a lexan screen or some other type of durable plexiglass that would not break quite as easily.

Good but could have been better...
I bought the HP Ipaq 1935 about 3 weeks ago. Here are some pros and cons to sum up:

PROS:
1) Very very light
2) Very slim
3) Great screen, great resolution
4) East to set up
5) Good included apps (word, email)

CONS:
1) I always have to soft reset to have my Socket SDIO low power modem registered and recognized by the PDA
2) The touchscreen seems very very fragile
3) Apps hang and you have to soft reset or go into the pda's equivalent of Windows' task manager and kill it (I never had this issue with Palm OS)

Overall I have been happy with the PDA, but the need to soft reset often and the need to kill apps still alive in memory are definitely grating on my nerves. I still like it better than Palm OS devices b/c I had a Palm V for 3 years and the interface got a little boring to use. If I had more money I would buy a higher end Ipaq ($350+ range) so that it had more features built in and also would probably be more stable. If you can afford a more expensive Ipaq, go for it.
