HP Ipaq 210 Enterprise Handheld

The IPAQ 210 is a great device. I am a tennis teacher, and I use it to plan my lessons. The IPAQ syncs with my computer, so I can type my plans on the computer and have them available on the IPAQ. JerseyCloseout is a great company. When I first got the IPAQ I had trouble synchronizing it to my computer. I called JerseyCloseout, and Neil helped me with my problem. Recently my IPAQ stopped working, so I called to get some troubleshooting advice. Neil decided to send me a new one. I was blown away.

I bought my iPAQ in May 2008. I was excited when I bought this product, however things soon changed. I noticed that the touch screen was not very sensitive. I contacted HP Customer Service and they said they would send a box to me that I could return the iPAQ for repairs; it never came. I contacted HP Customer Service two more times with the same result. Finally, HP escalated the issue to a higher priority and promised to have a Customer Service Agent contact me to resolve this problem. I gave them three phone numbers so they could reach me at any time. I have never been contacted. HP's CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NON EXISTANT. I will never buy another HP product and I intend to tell all of my friends about what has happened to me. If you buy an HP product, you better hope that nothing is wrong with it.

I was disappointed to discover upon using the iPAQ 210 that the voice record button on the side of the device does not power on the unit as this button has on previous iPAQ models. The convenience of this function was that if you wanted to make a quick voice memo, you'd pull out your iPAQ, push the voice record button, and the iPAQ would power on and start recording. This convenient feature is not available on the iPAQ 210. I hope this isn't a trend amongst Windows Mobile devices and I hope HP bring this feature back in their future iPAQ handheld releases.Another disappointment with the HP iPAQ 210 is that it doesn't work with the HP Photosmart Mobile Camera. Since the iPAQ 210 doesn't have an internal camera, attaching an external one to the SDIO port seems like a good idea. But when the drivers and software are installed for the HP Photosmart Mobile Camera and the camera is inserted into the SDIO slot, instead of the camera application launching, I get the error message "a problem has occured with device.exe". That these two HP products, an iPAQ and an iPAQ accessory, cannot work together is a baffling situation. HP Tech Support's response was "we don't have newer drivers for that camera." They don't offer a newer camera either, so what choice is there?

I was disappointed that the owner never replied to my email. I felt like i was over charged for a single item that did not even have a manual in it. I don't think i will buy anything from Amazon anymore given that their is not guarantee for quality product

The Ipaq 210 was a nice upgrade from my Ipaq 3950. It is very fast and very stable. The biggest selling point for me was the bright 4" screen and the tons of freeware available. I considered the Ipod touch but I needed the Microsoft Office apps. The ability to create and edit Office docs make this a small computer. Transcriber and Word make a great team. The WiFi is strong and fast. I can stream WebTv, and YouTube fairly well. I took one star away because HP has not updated the software to Win Mobile 6.1 or 6.5. Also the touch screen can be "touchy". Make sure to get a screen protector!!!

I recently purchased the IPAQ 210 and switched over from my Palm TX that I had been using for several years. The 210 has the latest Windows Mobile 6 operating system, which seems to be pretty stable and also very wifi aware. I have been pleased with it so far. The available apps are good and it is very fast and responsive with an incredible 4" display. I would recommend it highly.

I actually like the functionality of this handheld device. My quarrell is the battery life of the product. When you power the unit off, it goes into stand-by mode. This continues to drain the battery. I often find myself picking the unit up in the morning only to find it dead. If you have time in your life to plug this unit into the wall or your pc every night, this might not be a problem for you. However, I found it to be an issue for me.

The devices were ordered to get a job done, they do so but the limitations placed on operation by this type of device are many.They also tend to lock up or become non-responsive at times, this appears to be a issue with the OS.
