| | Customer Reviews: Another good HP product (08 January 2009)As we are on the road full time the PDA serves as a check book, calendar, and we use it for our books. Although I am new to this particular unit I really like it. iPAQ 211 (06 January 2009)I was very satisfied with this device. I had read many reviews extensively and can see some of the negative point, others I don't agree with. The blue light is annoying. I don't like the fact that you can't easily just exit and lock, as I could on my Palm T/X. I fail to understand the complaints about the volume on the speaker. It performs like any other device that size and generally you would have earphones on. Yes, it would be difficult to listen to voice instructions on a GPS, but that is true of my LG phone GPS also. The fact that the ring selector thing is slightly truncated at the top does not bother me but that may be because the applications I'm interested in don't call for it that much. I have Slingbox installed and it works just great. Whenever I'm at a hot spot, or anywhere around the house, I can watch all of my satellite TV on the large screen. The supposed added pressure necessary with the stylus just has not been an issue with me. I ordered the Think Outside Bluetooth Stowaway keyboard and it works just fine. I recently got rid of my Palm T/X after it broke the second time. While it had internet access and I had managed to get on, it was extremely cumbersome and kind of a joke. With the 211, you just go on IE and you're good to go. Obviously, it doesn't take the place of a regular computer but for e-mail and brief straight-forward information gathering it works just fine. Like some others, I was a little surprised to see that you cannot turn it on by hitting an application button. A minor inconvenience. While others liked the automatic dimming function, I found it extremely annoying (constantly going from bright to dim), disabled it the first day and it has been disabled since. It is very easy to manually adjust the backlight at the Today screen. For the times when it is inconvenient to carry a full laptop (such as prolonged motorcycle trips) I have a Sony Vaio VGN-UX280P, which runs Windows XP. However, if I didn't have that, the 211 would satisfactorily emulate a regular laptop (especially with the external keyboard). I give it five stars. Great Device!! (06 January 2009)This PDA is great!! It's a little bulky, but this is due in part to the re-enforced "shell" cover which I bought extra (recommended) to protect the device. I esp. like the wifi feature which allows me to access the internet in any unsecured hotspot. Good for a first try, but I'd thought better of HP. (03 January 2009)I should have tested one before I bought it. File manager, downloader program, setup are all primitive. Sometimes it will do what I want, and sometimes it won't. Spend a little extra money on something better. iPAQ 211 PDA (20 December 2008)Glad I spent the extra money and got this one. The larger, higher definition screen is definitely worth it. It has decent battery life(about one week on a charge with moderate daily usage). Overall, I'm happy with the product. |
