Perfect phone for business man or just a normal user.
Full qwerty keypad is really using to me. once u get use to the keypad u found u are typing like a god (:
a lot say the batt life suck and stuff. i personally think it alright. for hardcore usage , it still can let me use for ard 2 days. if normal usage 3 to 4 days. i upgraded to window mobile 6.5 and it run faster, smoother, look nicer and totally rocks! maybe save battery life too? (:

This phone have hell lots of input which i found it very convenience. The connectivity is well done! WIFI , HSDPA is fast and good. Design is nice too , rubber finish at the back give u a firm grip and the glossy finish in front give u a sophisticated look. nice thumb up for a HP 912c (:

> In reply to aelon @ 2009-08-11 14:50 from 45xs - click to readDear Aelon,
my usage is usually 40-50mins out going / incoming calls daily. but as i m using push mail feature, i am connected to GPRS all the times that sure consumes battery too much. moreover, widgets like facebook, live messenger & applications like SPB SHELL & usually 30mins usage of GARMIN MOBILE XT is also there. I need to recharge after almost 24Hrs with all above applications. Hope you must have tried it by now & sure be liking it.
Thanks.
Haroon.

By default, Windows Media Player Mobile 10 can play files compressed by the following audio codecs:

Microsoft Windows Media Audio codec versions 1.0, 2.0, 7, 8, and 9.
The following variants of the Windows Media Audio 9 codec are only partially supported:
Windows Media Audio 9 Professional codec
Windows Media Audio 9 Lossless codec
MP3
By default, Windows Media Player Mobile 10 can play files compressed by the following video codecs:
Microsoft Windows Media Video codec versions 7, 8, and 9
Microsoft Windows Media Video 9 Image codec versions 1.0 (used by Microsoft Photo Story 1 and 2) and 2.0 (used by Photo Story 3)
Microsoft MPEG-4 codec version 2.0 and 3.0
ISO MPEG-4 video codec version 1.0


So if you are trying to play any other file type like FLV or RM, it will not play it. I would recommend you to SYNC media files with Mobile set & your PC using ACTIVESYNC software. please go to the following website for more details: http://www.microsoft.com/windo...-player.mspx

Bye.

Hi All,
I have Been using HP IPAQ 912c since last month & I must admit it is a phone with almost all features. All you need is a high bandwidth like 3G & it will serve you in every aspect.

It is to be noted that HP has released this phone under HP IPAQ 900 Series with 3 different models. 910c, 912c & 914c. Every model is same in Hardware & OS but with different ROMPAQs for different regions (to support different service providers). Mine is 912c with Asia-Pacific Region.

I have read many of you complaining about GPS issue. Do note that this set comes with A-GPS(assisted GPS), it means that your Handset will take its "positioning coordinates" with your nearest BTS tower which is providing you GSM Service. Now for this purpose, you have to make sure that your GSM Provider is providing this A-GPS Service. Simaltenaously using any software like GARMIN etc..without GPS will unable to serve you.
Other solution is to get an external GPS like "NavGear KeyMate MK-51 Bluetooth GPS Receiver" or "TomTom Wireless GPS receiver" etc.

For those of you which are complaining about "bad user interface" is probably they are not a user of Windows Mobile phone. Guys its WM6.1 latest of all. BTW, I am eagerly waiting for newly announced WM6.5 OS by Microsoft.
Well, for user interface I would suggest to use SPB SHELL 3.0
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.co...mobileshell/
and download trial version & then buy it if you like. I really like it myself.

Now Battery (1940mAH): overall it will give you around 24Hours battery life with a standard use, which is very good for such types of battery killing handsets. However, if you feel like it is less then your requirement, you can get HP iPAQ Extended 3800 mAh Battery, it will cost you nearly around US$80/90. Apart from it, using Battery Saving Techniques will be beneficial as well. For nice Add ons & Accessories for your handset you can visit http://ipaqchoice.com

Overall, I am very much satisfied with this handset, although it is more heavier then the older versions but its still quite unique. I would rate it 9.7 out of 10.

If you have anything specific to ask, mail me chmharoon@gmail.com , I'll be glad to help you out.

After the last update, I'm completely satisfied with this phone and not going to change it at least 1-2 years. The standard battery is great, works up to 24hrs with heavy usage (HSDPA/GPS/mp3 playback). In addition I recommend getting extended battery which's on 2/3 larger than a standard.

How do you get the Garmin GPS application for the iPAQ? Does it have a monthly fee? I would LOVE to know about this as I will have the phone in about a day or 2, and I was planning to go buy a tom tom or Garmin. Can anyone offer up some insight?

So all features could be acceptable in HP iPAQ 910c & no doubt to use this pocket pc. Think smart & be nice..

I got the newer one 914C. 2 weeks now and I am playing with it. I decided to use this as my primary phone and shift everything to it. 3g speed is 7.2M and my corporate emails and other applications working without trouble. As compared to other with WinM6.1, Cam3.1mpx,GPS-A 3G speed, this is the best.
Cons: low speaker volume, Battery consumption and weight. This FW is 1.00.03, but heard that soon there will be 1.00.05 to fix some volume and keypad issues.
