User Submitted HP iPAQ RX1950 Pocket PC Reviews (cont...)Date: 2006-09-03 Works as designed...mostly It does everything they sayt it does. My only quibbles keeping this from 5 star status is Windows Media Player insists on loading media into the small internal memory rather than my 1 gb sd card. And the wireless occasionally does not connect to my access point, dropping th ewep key settings when it doesnt connect right away. One other flaw is the terrible IR range. On the plus side, it has pretty good sound quality when used with headphones, the video is good (when nothing else is running in the background) , and my new just purchased SDIO GPS (w/512 mem on board the gps, paid $120) works flawlessly with MS Streets and Trips/Pocket Streets. Battery life is great, over 4 hrs with the gps on. MS Active Sync works pretty well. This is a cheap wifi/gps/media solution for someone who wants a device that can do it all with the right add ons. Date: 2006-08-20 iPAQ RX1955 I would be lost without my list of chores... I do wish the migration from the IPAQ I purchased 4 years ago to the newer model was a little less painful Date: 2006-08-16 Overall a very good investment I should start off by saying that I am not a major user of PDAs mainly because I'm in front of a computer most of the day. And even when I'm not in front of one, I'd prefer something along the lines of an Ultra Mobile PC due to the larger screen and more features. However, the UMPC is way out of my budget. That being said, the HP iPAQ rx1955 has been a good investment for me. I chose this particular model due to the features as well as the price. I was mainly looking for a way to check my e-mail, tasks, contacts, etc while walking around campus. I also wanted something to help me keep track of meetings and appointments. Granted, most PDA's will do these things...but it was the extra features that won me over. The integration with Outlook and Windows XP in general is seamless. I also like the integration with Office and the WiFi works great. I can now take Office documents and spreadsheets of information from place to place and work on them without a computer. Overall I have been very pleased. My one complaint is the same as many others. Namely that the iPAQ would freeze occasionally. This was indeed fixed with a patch released from HP. Date: 2006-08-13 Don't Waste Your Time On This Paperweight I'll admit, I'm not the techno wizard some on this panel seem to be, but then again, I don't believe you should have to be to operate what should be something simple, like a handheld computer. In essence, the title of this review says it all. Almost $300 and several months later, I am unable to get this hunk of junk to even turn on. Let alone connect to a server. All of these things were supposed to be fixed by a 'patch' that if someone can download from the HP website, I'd love to see it. All downloads came back with an Error message when I attempted to download. Long story short, you'd be better off buying a laptop. HP is not known for their handhelds, do not buy this product or anything similar to this from HP. You will be sorry. Date: 2006-07-24 Plug Problems Like an earlier reviewer noted the plug on mine came apart, which had to be replaced by HP. The design of the plug is faulty. Besides the problems with the plug the unit works as advertised.
