I didn't want to spend a lot of money so I bought used. I am fairly tech savvy but this still trips me up from time to time. The price was right, the features are good. There are several apps I will never use but they can be stored in the background. The unit is hard to turn off. I had to download the manual which was not a problem.
I did not realize that I would loose ALL information if the battery went dead. The battery will go dead even when the unit is off. This is my first time using any sort of palm device. If you don't mind fiddling around with it, then it's a good buy used. There is a backup feature but it is not automatic on this version. Perhaps it is a quirk of this particular older device or perhaps it is just me. If there is a new model still out there, I would not pay more for it.
I guess I just haven't learned the proper sequence to accomplish full turn off. It has been a good learning device for me. I would probably buy a more recent model where some of these glitches have been resolved by newer technology. It leaves a ghost on the screen when it is not all the way off and I still struggle with this. It has left me high and dry more than once when I thought I had turned it off and just run down the battery instead. This is an okay device with older technology. Put your money in something more tech friendly and up to date.
Being a fan of HP since the heyday of the HP Laserjet II printers, I researched this product carefully -- every company can have stumbles and such -- but HP lives on in my reality with a winner with this model among their multitude of Pocket PCs. It does everything it's supposed to, and more. Count me a satisfied customer.
The used iPAQ I ordered was a replacement for one I had used for years. It arrived within a week and was in excellent shape and functioned perfectly. It came with a very nice leather case that I was not expecting. I would definitely purchase from this seller again.
A great little item. If you want to keep your phone a phone, and still keep the rest of your important information and appointments at the tip of your fingers, this is the way to go. Compatable with just about everything, it does all the same work as the rest of the pocket PC's for Hundreds less.A great investment.
Great: compact size, battery life, screen and functionality. You can't go wrong and if the price is right, even better. Got a great deal on this discontinued model. Why buy a new model if you can get this great PDA at a super price.
