HP (Hewlett-Packard) PAQ hx2795 Pocket PC

IPAQ hx2795B PDA

Strengths: Speedy processor (624MHz), RAM (64MB), ROM (320MB), support SD and CF, Bluetooth, wi-fi, has COVER, rubber sides, Lithium battery (primary) with NiMH battery (spare), quite a big screen (320x240).

Weakness: Sometimes it just hangs for few seconds, short battery life when you use wi-fi (it's considered normal).

If it hangs, just leave it for few seconds, it will be back to normal. Since it comes with mask/ cover, probably screen protector is not really necessary. Overall battery is quite reliable, turn off when you don't need it to conserve the battery. Other stuffs: - It is compatible with my TOPRAM 4GB 150x SD - It is also compatible with my Sandisk 512MB CF - Bluetooth running well with my Samsung...

Exactly what I needed

Strengths: Fast processor speed, efficiency of sync, strength of wi-fi and bluetooth, storage capacity with sd and cf slots, size, design.

Weakness: Battery life between charges is shorter than I would prefer, a bit larger than ideal

I researched PDAs at length before settling on the HX2795B. I needed a mobile version of my computer, and for the most part, that is what I received in the HX2795B.

I researched PDAs at length before settling on the HX2795B. I needed a mobile version of my computer, and for the most part, that is what I received in the HX2795B. In the brief time that I have had this PDA, it has been easy to integrate with my office and to utilize while away from my physical office. Active sync is outstanding, and picks up every change on either my handheld or computer, and unlike my old PDA, does not confuse data when transferring. I was surprised by how quick wi-fi picks up a signal. That the HX2795 provides finger print security is an added bonus, which was a significant concern with my previous PDA. The initial synchronization with my Outlook contacts was cumbersome in that the PDA only accepted 30 percent of my contacts -- this is an issue with Windows Mobile 5.0 rather than the PDA. With a bit of work I managed to solve this problem.

If you travel either during the day or overnight, this is a good notebook substitute.

IPAQ hx2795b

Strengths: Security features alot of storage

Weakness: Hard to get the fingerprint sensor to work at first

I waited along time to receive this item, which replaced my Ipaq rx3115. It works incredibly fast and I never leave home without it. I use it for work and for fun. I have had it about three weeks now and the only problem I see is that you have to reboot a lot after not using it for a few hours.

Review of IPAQ hx2795B PDA

Strengths: HP has come up with a sleek and useful PDA. Easy to setup. WI-FI is neat.

Weakness: There should be a method from preventing from putting in the battery backwards. I goofed and put it in backwards.

Great product, it is the leader of the pack. The screen is crisp and clear. The PDA should have 512k mempry. Memory is cheap enough. I wonder why HP added the biometric for another product.

Very nice iPAQ PDA

Strengths: Fast, good memory, nice display, sd and cf slots, bluetooth ,WiFi(802.11b) high speed Infrared , speaker, mic, finger print scan security, headphone jack

Weakness: If the unit is on for long periods and gets hot, it will not function properly. Set it on a cool dry surface to get the temperature down.

The PDA I own (hx2750)is basically the same as the hx2795B. I have used many types of software on it and it works fine. Also, I have used the small 4GB CF micro drive and up to 1GB SD card and never had a problem. The WiFi range is very good and works great in coffee shops etc. I have also used a CF 56K Fax/Modem when I had no other way to conect. Never had a problem and it autodetects the modem....

All you need is your ISP number. The Infrared works great as well for beaming files to other PDA's. The model I have will tell you when trying to connect using WiFi if the site is password protected or open. Lots of freeware and shareware out on the web for this unit.
