User Submitted HP iPAQ hx2795 Pocket PC (FA676B#ABA) Reviews (cont...)Date: 2007-07-26 Never any problems, works great I've had this for a few weeks now after i've been fed up with Palm's crappy PDA's, and I've never had any problems with it freezing or anything like that, even while running WMP, IE and AIM at once. The battery life on it is very high, even when watching videos, and it's easy to carry around. Stay away from Palm products and buy this Date: 2007-07-22 I like it. This is my FIRST PDA. It's also one of the fastest which is why it's a higher price the others. I got mine to start out with mainly for paperless Geo Caching. Which works great and lots of programs you can choose from. I also use it for DVD Profiler Mobile to keep track of all my DVDs using DVD Profiler on my PC and it's simple to Sync them up and have current Data on both. I have a GPS Receiver to plug into the Compact Flash port and using that and Navigation software. Needed the GPS Receiver for Geo caching anyway so now it handles both. It's setup to display the current weather for 3 days on the main screen which is really nice for a quick glance. I run Sling player Mobile on it to be able to watch my own TV anywhere in the world I want as long as I have a Broadband Internet connection. Just fine a Open Wifi spot and connect up with the built in Wifi. It also has Built in Blue Tooth. Not only has a Compact Flash port, but a SD card port. I normally use 2 Gig SD cards, but I have a 4 gig SD card that works just fine also. I also play games on it. From a simple game like Solitaire, to Monopoly, SimCity 2000 and my Favorite Atomic Cannon. I'm Syncing up to my Vista PC. The Install Disc didn't work with Vista, but you download the Sync software from MS to get it connected. Not to hard to do. It runs Window Mobile 5.0, and I wouldn't count on HP doing a 6.0 update. The built in Fingerprint scanner is a nice Touch and works surprisingly well! The built in Speaker isn't very loud, but with some headphones it sounds great and it Stereo, so you can Play your Music on it. There's also great programs out there to RIP DVDs into a nice small file size to play on your PDA. RIP and then watch a Movie anywhere. It's very Flexible. Of course you can browse the Web with Internet Explorer, or download Opera to use Instead. It's a nice, very flexible device. Just about anything you can think of you can do with it. Lots of Windows Mobile software out there. A little harder learning curve to it then say a IPHONE, but really, it can do so much more then a IPHONE other then there isn't a phone built in. I didn't what a phone built in mine at this time, but if you want something like this but with a built in Cell phone also, look into the 8525 from AT&T. It doesn't have as fast of a processor, but it does have a Pop out keyboard. Myself, I'm not big on Combo Units. I couldn't be more happy with this HP IPAQ hx2795. P.S. Some of the things I left out are built in Mic to Record at a push of a button. IR port to beam data back and forth from one PDA to another or to use as a Remote Control if you like. Replaceable battery also. Date: 2007-06-21 great product I've had the iPAQ for about 2 months and I am very happy with it. For me it was a replacement for a paper Filofax. I've found the sync feature with Outlook very helpful, but not without a few glitches -- mainly duplicated contacts and appointments. Also, there is a good deal of software for the iPAQ available free or cheap online. So far I haven't gotten the bluetooth "beaming" feature to work properly. Battery life is good. Date: 2007-06-13 HP iPAQ hx2795 Pocket PC I've been using this Pocket PC for about 2 months. I initially had a lot of trouble with lockups and was ready to return it for a refund after the first week. After 4 hard reboots in one day I decided to turn off all security, including the finger print recognition, and that seems to have resolved most of the lockup problems. Now it locks up less then once a week and a soft reboot clears it, I can live with that. A few times when the unit was powered off the battery run down overnight. Hardware wise, the product is well made as I would expect from HP. The software needs improvement. The programs I have installed all work well and it satisfies all my intended purposes. Overall I am pleased with it and expect to continue using it for a long time. Date: 2007-06-10 HP iPAQ hx2795 Pocket PC Overall I like the 2795. Pros: Ease of use, fingerprint security, speed, memory. Cons: Would like to have seen this with the new Windows Mobile 6.0. I don't know what the deal is with the unit turning itself on and draining the battery. It's almost like it's trying to update something or run a program, but I feel that if you have it turned off, it should stay off! You have to disable the fingerprint security feature to stop this, mostly, but at times it still happens. Very disappointed with HP in not resolving this with a firmware update. Anyone have any feedback on this can email me at scarsayz@gmail.com.removethistag
