After 2 weeks...

2/12/2009

After 2 weeks of almost non-stop messing with my iPAQ 910, I decided to write a review to share my findings with the world. While this phone is just about everything I could have hoped for, it does have a few drawbacks too that I have not figured out a workaround for yet.

On the plus side, this phone is every bit as powerful as a windows mobile phone can be. Setting everything up and syncing all my contacts, files, ect. was a snap, and I was up and moving in minutes. Even without an external GPS antenna, the GPS function works well (though Google Maps has given me wrong directions a time or two). There is also a function that allows a PC connected to the phone via bluetooth or USB to connect to the internet through the phone's service plan. I have found this feature to be extremely helpful, as I use several computers that have no internet access. The Wi-Fi is also excellant, with a range that is actually better than that of my laptop's. This phone definately lives up to the "Business" in it's name in every way, I have never been so well connected as with this thing in my pocket. I had no problems setting up any of my email accounts, hooking up my service plan, or any other kinds of issues connecting the phone to, well, anything I have tried to connect it to.

Of course, there is always a down side. In almost every review I have seen for this phone, two issues where mentioned: battery life and volume. I wes expecting these both to be a bit under par, but I have to say that they are both FAR worse than I could have guessed. If the phone is in a pocket, forget hearing the ringer. The speakerphone is useless. It might have helped if they at least put a regular 3.5mm headphone jack on the phone, but it only has a mini-usb port. I also bought an adapter 3.5mm to mini-usb, but it doesn't work with this phone. The battery seems to be draining at an alarming rate, don't EVER forget your chargers! I leave the thing plugged in all the time to either a wall outlet, my PC, or the lighter port in my car, and I can still rip through the power pretty quickly on this thing. If you buy this phone, get a second battery and a charger for it.

Aside from these two commonly mentioned issues, I have had a couple other things about this phone get on my nerves too. The audio tends to drop out while using a bluetooth headset, and the voice commander software on the phone leaves room to improve. Also, I had trouble installing an official HP patch to my phone from a Vista PC, so if you don't have an XP system, avoid the updates, you'll be really glad you did. Lastly, there is no way to rotate or change the display at all, and I have had a few software titles that could work perfectly be complete garbage on this phone because part of the graphics of the software hang below the visible screen, with no way to scroll or anything. I have had to reset the phone a couple times because some game demo I was trying was set to 320X240 instead of 240X320 and I couldn't click on an exit icon.

Well, I am getting long winded here, but I have to say that overall I am very happy with this phone. It does everything I need it to do, in most cases flawlessly. With the right combination of Today screen plugins and a few days tinkering with settings, I am still being amazed every day at what this thing really can do.

Misses the mark! What good is a phone you can't hear?

1/3/2009

I have owned and used the folowing to compare this to: 8525/Hermes, t-mobile Dash, Ipaq Ultimate 8502, Samsung Blackjack, T-mobile Curve 8310, and 8320, Treo 680, AT&T Tilt, Motorola q9h (my current favorite), Audiovox SMT5600, and a couple others I don't recall all the model names on some of the rest, but you get the idea. I have quite a bit of experience with smartphones, primarily Windows Mobile.

This phone has the potential to be nice, but is pretty weak when you consider the price. Because these do not have a carrier agreement, they are never available discounted, the cheapest you can get one right now is $350 for a used one, maybe $390 for almost new, $450 plus for brand new. Now I realize that is inline with other phone of this caliber, but this phone is just too QUIET. You can barely hear it ring, can't hear the notifications at all really. There is an app inside it to boost the volume, but anytime the phone reboots, it resets back to too quiet.

It's just a waste of time and money for them to make a phone like this that you can't hear.

For $150 you can get a tre 750, motorola q9h, t-mobile dash, 8525, tilt, etc. THey all have better volume then this.

Besides that, the battery life is poor, and the processor even though is not real slow is not real zippy considering the battery useage and the price.

For corporate use only, it's probably ok, but just barely. I mean if the company was paying for my phone, I might use this one.

wifi works fine.

Has a nice form-factor, a little cheap feeling build quality (but not too bad).

I have found the q9h to be the best overall smartphone for me. Durable, LOUD enough. Nice rugged feel and good form factor. No touch screen though.

If you want a Windows Mobile Phone with touch screen and qwerty on top, you have a few choices: ipaq 910, treo 750, imate 8502. The 8502 keyboard was a little too tight for me. The treo does not have wifi and alittle older, but a good choice because it has a carrier discount, which means the second-hand market you can find them for $100! It has everything this has but GPS and Wifi.

It all depends on what is important to the user. For personal use, not that good because too quiet. Hard to justify spending $400 hard cash on a phone you can't hear!

Nice features, but too many glitches

1/3/2009

I like this phone mainly because It is the only phone I know of that allows you to edit and read office 2007 files. I like the touch screen. The handwriting function works well. The voice quality sounds good to me. The volume is not as loud as other phones, but I never have trouble hearing, even in noisy environments (I keep the volume turned all the way up).

When it's working properly, it's a great phone. But it never seems to work for very long before it locks up and I have to reset it. I have to reset it 1 to 3 times a day.

I also have bluetooth problems. My plantronics bluetooth headset that worked perfectly with my ipaq 510 does not work well with the 910. It works fine for making calls, but for some reason it does not work at all with the voice command feature and files played on the windows media player will not play through the headset.

Another problem is the battery life. I had read complaints about the battery before I bought the phone, but I did not think it would be a problem for me because I do not use the phone much during the day. I use it for one or two personal calls a day and I briefly use ms word or excel. The battery does not make it through the day without recharging. I don't know how business users who make frequent calls, send/recieve emails etc. can get by with this phone. Another battery is available for this phone on the hp website that provides 60% longer life, but it is twice as thick and makes the phone bulky.

One great way to save battery power is to turn off the power when you are not using it. It will still receive calls and messages. The problem I'm having is that every third or fourth time I turn off the power, the phone locks up (this is in addition to other lock ups). It has to be reset to make it work again. Unfortunately, the phone will not recieve calls or messages if it locks. This is not a problem for me because I don't receive many calls. For someone who cannot afford to miss a call, this would be a big problem.

This phone reminds me of my old ipaq hx2495 pocket pc. It used to lock up all the time and I was always resetting it. After using an ipaq 510 for about a year, I became accustomed to having a reliable device that almost never had to be reset. Now I'm back to resetting my device all the time. I'm very disappionted.

I do not recommend buying this phone.

HP iPAQ 910

12/12/2008

Nice phone except for battery life. It needs to be charged everyday if actively used (i.e. occasional surfing, music etc.) It could last 2 days if just used to make calls. If playing music a lot it will last less than 12 hrs. Wifi and bluetooth are both enabled for me.

Satellite information needs to be downloaded before the GPS will work but it works well.
In all other aspects performs reasonable well (camera, responsiveness, sound etc)

I used it like a laptop, battery life is too poor to really use it as a mobile device.
