My Report on use of HP iPAQ 614c
=================================
I bought this phone from Thailand and it worked fine and i was starting to like it but later when i came back to my home country it does not search my network, although sometimes it does and little while after it says network not found. After doing a hard reset it seems to solve it.

Later on issues popping up:

Keypad: some keys are not actually working you have to press them so hard to get response. so it annoys so much when you dial a number and some numbers are missing.

Answering a Call: Sometimes the system gets so slow that when you receive a call and press the answer button it delays and even worse disconnects the call.

Camera: the digital photos at 3m pixels suck .. theres no use of taking photos at low light conditions and the LED flash no idea why they put it.

NO Support Available from HP

Speaker Phone: Not loud enough ... i can use it like an ordinary phone lol.

I've used sites like ziddu before and made close to nothing. This all changed when I found sharecash.
You will get $0.30-$0.60 for every file which is downloaded by others. That are $300-$600 for 1000 US downloads!

Well,
I have had my iPAQ 614c for 14 days and it has turned in to a brick.It has several flaws the worst of which is a weak support system. Since my phone is used for business only all of the video viewing, music listening, and photo viewing functions are of no consequence. Right out of the box the phone locked up on me. This I found was a known fault and there was a softpack to remedy it. After synchronizing my phone to our exchange server the phone locked up again. Several resets later it started functioning semi reliably. I tethered the phone to my PC and set up an ActiveSync partnership. The phone began sending random UDP and TCP port requests through our firewall which took time to sort out. There are registry entries, in the phone, which cause it to do this. After we thought all was settled we decided to re-apply softpack 40097. That appeared to have all gone fine and the phone carried out a normal reset and started a clean boot which it never recovered from. We loaded the Rom image to a 2gb standard MicroSD card and found that when the phone went to the SDLoader screen it halted. So,,,, now I have a brick.

Other observations:
Processor speed is ok but I compared this with the processor speed for a comparable HTC phone and found it lacking. Battery life is abyssmal; the worst I have ever seen.

Finally the support system.
My phone was purchased in the US through a reseller. I contacted HP for support and they declined stating that no US carriers were selling the phone. I called HP UK support and they declined stating the phone was purchased in the US even though it is of UK origin. So HP support is also a load of crap.

Bottom line:
I have little good to say about the phone or HP's support structure. Neither of which are worth the time it woudl take to set a fire to it.

To reinstall the windows mobile on your ipaq 61x just download the update from the HP webpage. Search for it on the Support & Drivers section. You can choose from many languages. Just be carefully with the SKU ID wich have to match with yours.

This devce will not receive even a 6.1 upgrade officially (unofficialy it has wm 6.1) but In my opinion - this device sucks it has so much hardware problems that it's not worth buying it at all.

Recently, my 612c facing a network connection problem again (3rd time)...which is not able to cannot to any network at all. Rest of the function are ok. You have to switch it on & off for times in order to get it recover. If this happen to your unit, pls send to service center immediately and get a replacement (either change PCBA or a new unit)CONDITION..must be still under warranty period.

Hi, I had the same problem with that device a year ago. The solution is hard reset and than install needed software. I have used a backup program and now I have no problem. Success.

I bought this device on 15th August 2008. And 25. august windows was down. I sent it to service, and today 10th Jan 2009. has same thing happened. And i decided: "when this shit return from service, i will sell it"
My experience tells me that this PDA is not worth of coin.
thanks
