My Ipaq 612c connected easily to the internet via my celfone in the Philippines the first time I used it. Without changing the connection settings, it can not connect to the internet again using my celfone. I tried to reset to factory setting and/or edit the connection settings but still unable to connect to the internet except when I connected through WiFi. Any help please.
Another problem is that with Mobile Windows Word, Excel and Note, the ENTER KEY of the keypad closes the program automatically (similar with the "OK" key function)instead of adding a new line or ending a paragraph. The ENTER KEY of the keypad works well only in TEXT MESSAGE editing. Is there any patch that can correct this?
Thanks.

Called the HP helpline, but it seems the lady on the other end can't really understand my problem.

It's not working on my HP 612c and I'm surprised that nobody seems to be bothered by this issue? :(
Maybe everyone is using XT9 and I'm the only freak who uses word completion...

Hi, anyone has problem with the "word completion" feature, using the Keyboard/Letter Recognizer"? I can't get it to work. It only work when i input, using the keypad using the xt9.

Also, when i connect my bluetooth hands-free device, there is no indicating on of it being connected, on the Today screen. I onlt see the icon if i go to the phone function screen. Is this the limitation of this phone?

I can connect to unsecure network or protected by WEP or WPA without any problems.. My only issue with the device is that it should have the screen flush and not sunken.. other then that it's pretty good..

It's takes a geek to hook this thing up with a password-protected Wifi network, and then, it might not go through... making it only possible to use with open wifi networks (from the point of view of a layman),

With its so-limited software package, I feel like cheated out of my money to buy this expensive piece of metal !

@ Zul,

You need to purchase mapkings that works with the gps receiver which has already been in-built with the handset. You do not need additional hardware, only needed to install mapkings application/map/voice, etc, and voila you are on track.

I have HP IPAQ 614C
It is worknig excellent..
bigest opsticle was to instal all needed for using..spent few days to do so.
Good sides:
e-mal speed : excellent
Internet : excellent connection and speed
Bad sides:
as phone device is not the best solution, it is more softweare organized as Pc computer then mobile phone.
Also e-mails could not be forwardde only replayed..etc.
Speakers are not so loud so it could not wake you up in the mourning :)
