I had this phone a few weeks ago, and it's great. I wonder about the others opinion that said not user friendly OS..?? dude, it WM 6.1 .. lol. I never have problem with the wi-fi, GPRS, 3G even HSDPA. The GPS position..?? it works fine with me. I am using about 2 weeks and I never found anything trouble with this gadget. Overall, this is what I need right now. FYI, I bought this on Asia, I dunno about the others region that keep telling trouble, for me, this PDA is awesome..!!!

After positive experience with 6515 and 6955, I was waiting for an iPAQ that runs Windows Mobile 6.1. I purchased my 910c today and must admit so far I’m disappointed. Keyboard looks and feels cheap, it’s difficult to type. I couldn’t update GPS position. After disconnecting PDA from my computer, I couldn’t start WiFi. I had to reset unit to start WiFi.
HP was very late with this product and finally, they released something that doesn’t look finished at all.

I currently owned the phone and feel very upset with the phone features and functionality. I had to restart or reset the phone each time while the machine stop functioning. I also feel very regret on the non user friendly operating system and instability of software. HP should take more consideration on these features since they are in IT innovation leader range. Somehow, the only selling point for me is the outlook design of the phone. Thanks

i've been using iPAQ 912c for a week..
and the battery performance is GREAT.
i find a quicksheet released by HP that says the talk time is stand for 7.5 hours and 250 hours for stand by. yesterday i tried to browse using wifi for 3 hours, gprs is connected all the time, the backlight setting is 50%, did a bit registry tweaking for battery performance, did a bit calling and texting, and right before midnight i still had 15% battery power... nice.. and the charged till full battery takes approximately 2 hours

I just ordered the HP iPAQ 910c, but while I was doing my research, I came across different photos of what is the same phone. Or is one the 914? What is the difference between the 910 and the 914? Which one is which?

well, i've been using PDAs since a while, i started with Treo 180 > Treo 600 > iPAQ 6500, the way i see it, i'm using PDA until it broke, or not have capabilities to handle my growing needs.
in this case, iPAQ 6515 is out of date for me.. i've been using 6500 since 2006. i'm haven't migrating to 69xx series because when 6900 was launched, i really don't need a faster processor and a wifi.
but when HP says want to launch a new iPAQ (900&600), i'm so ready to buy one of em' when it hit the market. so i did bought the 600 series, meanwhile my sister bought the 900 series. and i compared both of them. here are my thoughts :
600
Pros
- Bigger Screen (no doubt)
- Touch Smart (loves the idea!) it really works
- Stronger Processor but weaker Battery (i'm Confused)
- no prob at all pair with bluetooth stereo (remembering there's no 3.5m Jack, bluetooth stereo with interchangeable earphone is a nice alternative) nor bluetooth headset
- hey they included good quality Screen Protector inside the box
Cons
- only dependable with virtual qwerty keyboard (it's fatal for me whose used with qwerty keyboard since treo 600 or 4-5 years ago)
- why can't HP included more accessories like they did before? what do you get when you bought iPAQ 6900? alot of accessories!
- in Jakarta it's kinda difficult finding accessories for the iPAQ.
- i'm frankly didn't feel comfortable with the size, i think it was to thick not wide enough to accommodate my big hands
- i have to upgrade my WM6 into WM6.1 by my self, there's no upgrade from HP

900
Pros
- Loved the design (it's Cool and i think it's still cool until 2010)
- just like the qwerty keyboard, i think better than my 6500 series
- the size is just perfect, not to thin, not to thick, not to wide, it's just perfect fit inside my palm. and it's just sit perfectly inside my jeans pocket.
- i think the Screen is not a big deal for me, it's bright and crisp enough.
- multiple navigation buttons? ROCKSS!! one handed-two handed-left handed-right handed is no problem with this device.
- it's already WM6.1 and i think it WM6.5 capable (why not?)
Cons :
- weaker processor (but i have the solution -xcpus****r will sprite up the processor to 524mhz)
- why i cant rotate the screen orientation? some program not fully supporting landscape
- Bigger Battery - longer battery life - longer charging time (another spare battery with battery charger is a must have)
- those silly usb door, not smart i think.. and the usb position is not ideal for me
- no screen protector included
- no pouch included
- no cradle included
how can i find those in JAKARTA?

so, i just sold my 600 series and bought 900 series, which more suitable for my daily tasks.
i travel twice a week, taking notes in my class, sometimes recording lectures, watching movies on the road, chat a lot, always listening to music all the time, sometime work on my paper on the go, using dictionary, video call is not important for me, sometimes using skype, HSDPA is way faster than my imagination after migrating from GPRS hehe, update journal on excel everyday, capturing picture and recording video everywhere everytime, using a desktop instead a laptop.

here's my question :
- can it run with microSDHC16gb? have anyone try it?
- how can i rotate the screen orientation without reboot?
- can i extend the warranty and purchased the accidental protect plan?
thx

If you want a phone that you have to soft reset everytime after using your bluetooth headset for a phone call because it turns off all or most of the notification alert sounds eg. incoming text, ringtone, etc.

If you want a phone that has live keys even when it's locked which makes it sensitive to being carried in a holster on your belt and when you go to use it you find 5 applications open and the phone, wifi, and bluetooth all turned off sometimes.

This product is a pure POS and a disgrace to Hewlett-Packard's renowned reputation for quality and was rushed to market way before it was ready.

ATTENTION ALL Ipaq 910c 910 914 916 users


Call HP support at 1800HPINVEN or 8004746836 at the promptsay Technical Support, then say handheld, then say IPAQ, then say YES, say yes for repair and they will transfer you to a tech support rep. Give them your serial number and ask them to open up a case for the bad audio quality, bluetooth issues and short battery life. HP needs to put out a ROM update to fix all these issues but they are holding it back because of the WM 6.5 pending release which could take 6 months. If enough of us demand the fixes to these issues, they will release the rom update. Call and demand a case number/ticket for your issues. If they say that they will replace the phone tell them that is not a solution. The most important thing is to get a ticket number for your case. We need about 100 people to call in and they will release the updates in a couple of days. Thanks for helping.
