User Submitted HP iPAQ 1935 Pocket PC Reviews (cont...)
Date: 2003-10-30 Compared to Toshiba e355 I recently decided to upgrade from a Jornada 680 HPC (very old version of WinCE) because mine is breaking down and HP no longer supports this old platform (although I love the form factor with keyboard). Anyway, I decided to go for the H1935 but after few days switched to the Toshiba e355. I thought it would be useful to note down a brief comparison to help others who are considering the two. I really liked the iPAQ but the Toshiba has a number of things that are better for me:HP iPAQ H1935 * Quite a bit smaller and lighter than Toshiba (too small for me)and hence buttons not good for big fingers! * Has a removable battery so you can keep a spare * More software on CD (e.g. Adobe) * Small power cable makes it easy to carry around and usb cradle comes with another "head" so you can charge it at the same time using only one cable. * No cradle (I like to have my PDA upright on the desk) * Stylus awkward to extract * Headphone socket is smaller than usual requiring an adapter(included) * Only 3 mth warranty TOSHIBA e355 * Larger and heavier - fits in my hand better * Comes with cradle which fits it really snuggly so it won't fall out even if held upside down. On the other hand it's heavy for traveling you may want a separate cable. * Power cable is like a laptop's (bad for domestic but good for international travel as you only need to purchase the power end of the country visiting and it will work) * No external battery * Side scroll button is very handy * Central toggle button much easier to use * Home button has a feature not in iPAQ which accesses 4 tabs on screen for easy organization of apps. One tab lists running apps so you can easily close down running applications (in Pocket PCs the x only minimizes programs - they are still running in the background taking up memory. Programs tab includes app backup that backs up to SD * Uses regular headphone socket size * Faster processor * 1 year warranty * Cheaper
Date: 2003-10-23 This iPAQ does it all I bought it a few weeks ago and I love this thing! Very small and powerful. Very easy to use and sync w/ Outlook. If you don't need Bluetooth, this thing is perfect. Not a lot of case options but I hope that will change as this model just came out. And it's only $200 (after rebate)! Not too long ago you had to pay $400 and more for an iPAQ w/ these features.
Date: 2003-10-19 bookreader If you buy this to have access to Microsoft Reader and all the available books. This gadget has a fairly tough learning curve to download books. At least I had a hard time. I could not find the site I downloaded to although searched for 3 days off and on. Maybe I am not enough of a geek. Eventually I found a file, maybe not the perfect file as directions call, for but now can download any book I want. Easy to download from a CD disk purchased on line, with about a million books on it, I will never be able to read all the free available books. Any thing is available free if you search far enough.

Date: 2003-10-11 Best Value! After receiving a promotion that vastly increased the scope of my duties, I decided to purchase a handheld to help me keep everything straight. Good decision. As I researched the choices, it became obvious that people are passionate about their handhelds. Reviews of Palm's, Sony's, and others swayed me one way then the other. My advice is read the reviews then go to a store with working devices where you can check them out personally. The Palm's and Sony's bored me but the HP's (Compaq) got me excited. My final choice was the HP 1935 and I couldn't be happier. It has a brilliant clear color display contained in a small size with all the features I need. There are more full featured devices out there, but only at a much higher price. This one has all that I need and saves me from paying considerably more for features I don't need (Bluetooth, etc.) Some reviewers have knocked this unit for not coming with a cradle or carrying case, but this keeps the initial cost down and allows one to select a "personalized" case rather than be stuck with the one provided. As such, for me this "ommission" is a advantage not a disadvantage. This unit is designed to meet a price point and it does so beautifully. I thank HP for offering such a wonderfull device at an attractive price. I like it so much that I bought another one for my wife. I highly recommend this unit!
Date: 2003-10-07 Speed/Size/Quality/and Bang for the Buck This is a really great product. Coming from a diehard Palm OS background, I was hesitant to believe that I'd like this. Here's what I love about it: -MP3 player, really fast and takes no processor power -MPG/AVI movies. Using Windows Movie Maker, you can watch full length movies in landscape mode. The Samsung 203mhz processor does the job. -Really fast. Obviously not as fast as the PXA255 400mhz but when you compare this to the older generation PXA250 Xscale 400 processor, this 203mhz processor combined with PPC2003 is definitely faster. -Small. This is smaller than the Sony Clie T-series and almost near Palm Vx size. -Loud speaker. When you compare to the speaker on other PDA's this one is really loud. -Price. I bought this at $237-$50(rebate)-$30(amazon credit card) What's not so good: - Build quality. It just doesn't meet the same build quality standards as the Sony Clie PDA's like the T-Series, but then again, it doesn't cost as much and is feature-packed. - Accessories difficult to find.
