All the best cramed in to one phone, redundancy times 3

12/1/2009

I bought this phone in October 2008. Thought it had nice features and would work well for work. When I received it I thought it was great. Touch screen a plus, windows os I liked it was a good improvement over the T-Mobile dash window mobile 5. after a couple of days with it. I noticed it looked like was kind of like they just took differt features that's were good on other phones and crammed it in to one. To many redundant functions. You have a directional ring button in the middle allowing you to scroll up and down the screen. Then The touch screen its self can scroll up and down too. Then there select and menu buttons in the messaging part, as well as on the touch screen . And if you wanted you can us the black berry like scroll wheel on the side to make your selections and navigate around the screen. Just made it seem like didn't put any thought in to adding more functions for the hard wear to could take advantage of. Over all was user friendly but only cause there are three ways to do the same thing.

The Good
I like the windows 6.1 so easy to find setting to make changes.
The touch screen worked well although its a bit on the small side
the over all form factor of the phone was good easy to use with two hands but, took practice to use with one

The bad
Froze 2 to 3 times a day and that's with minimal use
Deleting text messages is a night mare. when you select clear all text and mms messages. would start delegating and then freeze. used that option once before bed and it was still stuck in the same spot when I woke up. and that's was only with about 50 texts messages to delete.
battery life on the low side I'd get 9 hours of medium use before I had to charge it.
Taking picture was slow. you press the button to take the picture and it takes about 3 seconds to actually take the picture. not a very good way to take pictures hold still. ha ha
the speaker phone volume is way to low even when turned up all the way.
ringer volume to low as well when all the way up.
Vibrate function inconsistent, it worked when it wanted to and isn't strong enough to feel when it goes off.
by month 5 battery life was down to 3 hours before needing a charge. come to fine out its because the charging port was detaching from the board. in month 6 it stopped charging and syncing all together when the port came off the circuit board.
it was under warranty and hp had a replacement out in 3 days.
I stopped using it for about 2 months and when back to the T-mobile dash. but the decided that since I paid $499 for this phone I better get my money worth. so started using it still having the freezing problems. which's most phone have. some more then others. and now im approaching month 6 on the replacement phone. and surprise the battery life is down to 3 hours again and the screen flickers when its charging or syncing, which means The charging port is detaching form the circuit board again. And its our of warranty so Looks like it will become a paper weight. Sad a $499 phone only lasts a year at most well 6 months each since mine was replaced.


If I had to do it over again I would pass. Good Attempt just bad hardware design. I don't think this phone is worth paying $[...] for. $275 would probably be about right price point in my option and that would only be if the was a $50 rebate. so it's back to my T-moble dash which oddly enough was run over by a scissor lift and still works fine after replacing the just the screen. HTC makes a good product in my opinion, Id recommend you look at a HTC phone instead of This HP ipac.

Worst phone I've ever used

7/9/2009

This phone is probably the worst phone I've ever seen, and certainly the worst phone I've ever used. It is actually user-hostile. On several occasions I've needed to use it to listen to a long conference call, and after about 15 minutes, te phone gets too hot to hold comfortably against the face. On one occasion after an hour of use, the screen started flashing a message about overheating battery!

Battery life is miserable.

There is no way to lock the touchscreen so holding it against your face can accidentally activate the soft-buttons, one of which is "disconnect" (Which by the way is inexplicably tiny and directly above the "Hold" button. On the subject of the screen, WHY did they make all the butons so small that it's virtually impossible to press them without the stylus?

Battery life is miserable

the speaker is a mystery to me. when using the speakerphone function, the volume is so low as to make it unusable,and ringer volume is a joke. But when listening to music using the media player, it's very loud. WHY?

Battery life is miserable.

If you activate the security lock on the phone, 50% of the time you can't answer a call. You can try, and the phone thinks it has, but it doesn't actually connect the caller. People calling me have learned to just leave a quick message and wait for a call back.

Battery life is miserable.

Button responses are delayed so you're never quite sure if you've actually connected or disconnected a call. It can take upwards of a second to register. Maddening.

Battery life really sucks.

As a PDA, though, it's not bad, other than the miserable battery life. It's just that I thought I was buying a PHONE, not an email machine with a buggy afterthought of a voice device thrown in.

Hp iPAQ 910 Business Messenger Unlocked Cell Phone

Great phone! It took me a while to get used to but I think I got it down. If you don't like phones that are too advanced and confusing then this phone is not for you. Definitely an acquired taste!

Could Have Been a Contender

4/28/2009

Pros: -Good looking professional device
-Fast GPS
-Great processor speed
-No bloatware from HP

Cons: -Shared mini USB/headphone jack
-Battery life not as long as one would anticipate from a 1940mAh battery

Summary: Because the HP 910 doesn't have the sleekest looks or skinned interface, it is constantly dismissed as a heavyweight contender. But it stands head and shoulders above the Treo 750 series and most of the current QWERTY-bars. Working within the confines of Windows Mobile, HP has put out a nice device which has, for the most part, slipped under the radar.
The first batch of iPaqs shipped out were plagued with issues, but for those of us that exchanged them for another unit and upgraded ROM we were rewarded with a stable powerhorse with tons of memory and options. It has plenty of shortcut buttons, and the keyboard is fantastic to use. Don't be fooled by devices with 320x320 resolution- as a non-standard screen size, there are a large number of applications that are not compatible. The 320x240 of the iPaq 910 is nice and bright, works with most applications and is excellent for watching movies.
Hopefully a future ROM will improve battery life, which is good but should be out-of-this-world for the size of the battery. And sadly, HP decided to share the audio and power USB port which means that you cannot use standard 3.5mm headphones, or even listen to music and charge simultaneously.
After 3 months of use I sold this phone. It eventually became plagued by random unresponsive keyboard, and an inability to see the memory card (including apps and photos) both of which would only be fixed by a soft reset. Look over in the HP Forums and you will see tons of folks still waiting 9 months later for these issues to be fixed. I wish HP would release a fix for these issues because they've got pretty decent hardware, but they are overpowered by faulty software bugs.
