Customer Reviews

Big disappointment
I went to fund raiser for a Non profit organization that we like to support. Saw this at their silent auction, bought it. It was new in the box thought it would be good for helping me organize. Right from the start it would not drop the align screen page. Called HP, they suggested a clean reset, didn't work. Now I have to send it in for a $49.00 service fee, what a joke. Take my advice look elsewhere and don't buy an electronic item new in the box from a silent auction.

Pros and cons, but its very recommended
This is a great purchase. Is easy to install programs although usually is not easy to find one compatible with windows mobile 5. The reproduction of videos and images is wonderful, it doesn't bring acrobat reader but you can install it. About word i have used it a lot, with an external keyboard that connects with an infrated port, and it works perfect, have all the basic functions and is easy to read (without making an eye effort). Some of the problems are that you cannot open two different word files at the same time, ad if you're going to open a huge word document (a book, for example) it usually stocks and you have to reiniciate windows. To connect it to a computer you must have the connector (obviusly) which is a little big, and the program of sincronization installed, so you cant just arrive to a place to connect it and download information, is not that easy. Is really light to carry, the battery lasts very long time, it have all the aplications you could need of an electronic helper for everyday: calculator, clock, alarm, word, notes (by entering text with the buttons or by just drawing in the screen), power point viewer (so you can check out that important presentation on the way), contacts list, space for an external SD card, etc. Also the bluetooth and the wi-fi connection are great. I recommend it very very much.

HP doesn't deliver
Brand new this did not synchronize from the start. Sent it back to HP they said it would be $300 to repair it as the main board was flawed. I said "but it's under a 1 year warrenty. Well be sure to read it, it's doesn't cover the main board. HP was horrible to deal with, never would return calls and kept it for over three months and did nothing. So once I got it back I went to bluetooth to synchronize and it worked great, but you can't move music, so what good is this? I love it's possiblities but it just has too many bugs!
