Summary: HP iPAC 1945 Pocket PC
Comment: I was very impressed with the product. It was well taken care of. The individual who owned the product was very courtous and up front with the product. I give the product and the owner high marks for his involvement in the way it was handled.
Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent in every way
Comment: My Hp iPAQ 1945 arrived in perfect condition and is a fine improvement from the HP Jornada 548 I had for 5 years. The old PDA was used everyday and became a big part of my life. This new one improves upon the Jornada in speed, screen resolution, great color, and program availability. If you can find one used, buy it!
Customer Rating: Summary: ipaq 1945 worse device I have ever used
Comment: In my profession I use many electronic devices from pc's to measuring devices. This unit is by far the most unreliable of anything I have used to date. I've been trying to use my ipaq for simple pda purposes and it always has some sort of problem from not syncing with my pc at work or at home to just not turing on or off at times. It has lost information more times than I can count and it just doesn't want to go on line with the wireless card that I bought. I took it to my local Best Buy and was told to buy another unit because this one is just not usable because of the reliability issue. They didn't even want to look at it. I wish I could just return it but unfortunatly I don't have the online information to do so, I guess I'm just out the price of admission...$200 plus. I wouldn't buy another ipaq if my life depended on it.
Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent!
Comment: I've had this little bugger for almost a full week now, and I must say, I think it was the best investment I've made concerning tools for my career (freelance writing). The Pocket version of Word is the handiest thing for an English Major on the run. I can work on whatever writing projects I have going, whenever or wherever I have the chance, and it is fully compatible with my Win XP desktop at home. And with it's organizer capabilities, it certainly eliminated a TON of the clutter in my bookbag/purse. (Before, I was carrying a writing notebook, a planner, post-it-notes for the planner, etc etc--now the h1945 has replaced darn near all of it!)
I gave this unit 4 out of 5 stars, only because I've been having difficulty with getting the Bluetooth to work, and I had to soft reset it once. Of course, this could very well be due to my inexperience with setting up wireless technology.
All in all however, I have had an excellent experience with this unit so far; I was particularly pleased with the fact that my unit came with a travel and a car charger plug to complement the USB sync cable. Had to go out and buy an audio adapter jack though, but I bought a refurbished one, and it all comes out in the wash anyway.
So, there you have it. I was originally led to believe handhelds were only for organizer purposes, but I have seen the light! lol. They are nearly as flexible as the user wants them to be, which is a very nice trait to have in a handheld.
Customer Rating: Summary: very durable, good value
Comment: i have had one of these bad boys for 3 years, i have hard reset it twice and have had no problems with the screen breaking(i dont drop stuff that cost $300[at the time] so there is no problem)
the pocket office apps are nice, although they require you to convert from pocket to regular format each time. the ActiveSync software is majorly flaky, especially with bluetooth, but i just stopped synchronising and only used it to install programs. the button layout of the PPC is very comfortable, the screen is fairly bright, and over all it is worth 200$$
i am getting rid of my iPaq and swithcing to the palm T|X(which is the same price as the iPaq was when new and has much nicer...everything!!)
hope this helped
