does anyone know if you can put 3.0 SE on this phone? i suppose 5.0 is out of the question. Does anyone have a solution for the unstability of the device? Has anyone done a hard memory upgrade?

*non-upgradeable O/S

Speaker isn't loud enough, slow and upgradeable O/S apparently due to the slow OMAP ARM processor, SD slot killed one 1Gb SD card and a 245Mb MMC, unstable - jams up at the oddest of time, short battery life, bluetooth pairing sure.. but it's practically useless as most other PDAs doesn't have Personal Area Network it seems. Wifi turns on at will and refuses to turn off at times. Parts? Where do I get parts from? I want the front case replacement. HP hasn't replied. USSD feature is missing, I can't use DiGi (016) *128# USSD. Contacted HP, HP told me to contact DIGI. Since when did Digi make PDAs for HP? ***ons. Sent the support guy a more detailed explanation of what I was referring to... hasn't received any reply until today.
Horrid, abysmal, and yes I reiterate, the ringer could have been louder, at least allow camera upgrade to higher pixels. Bah...
My complaints are endless.

Dang! Wish the ringer was louder and the camera had a better resolution. Locks up very often and the the phone feature sucks when you have any other app. running. Otherwise i think it is a great device if fixes were available.

Like it, had it for two years.On my third replacement. But, Its bulky, batterylife is short, like he memory size and functions, but the charging dock hole damages easily. Wish the ringer and speaker was as loud as the aappearence of this device.

i have using this for the last 3 months. i agree the phone has some problems. (doesn't ring if it is in standby, went back to my nokia). But, as a PDA it is stunning. wifi, IRDA, bluetooth work well. games, software, mp3 on a 2 GB SD card make it a great laptop replacement. i have to soft-reset about once every 3 days. (but, i believe thats the case with every other device out there)

i have had this for a few months, i think peoples problems are because they don't know how to use it properly. it works fine, i do have bluetooth problems sometimes, and have to do soft resets occasionally but its a machine! it holds memory better with an external drive, i like it, very useful for keeping my appointments and notes etc...

I had this cell phone for 1 year already and it does way much better than the rest. This has to be the most diversed cell in the market. Look at the prices for just a cell phone, but this phone does great for business. Upgrading is easy, to stop those crashes. And I have navigation on mine instead buying a $2000 system. Its the best tool that business and pleasure could buy!!

this is one of the worst, and i mean WORST...gizmo ever invented. It does not make calls when I need it to. I can fart louder than the speaker. Windows makes makes it a bit better. Other than that, DON'T GET IT. You will suffer...I am waiting for the MotoQ.

It's not bad, better than the others, but still not awesome...I like what it does, basically everything you want it to. Sometimes it does lock up on me when you use too many programs at once and have to shut down programs, lack of memory. Would love it to have push-email, but doesn't. Also, definately need a memory card to do backups, once battery dies, phone resets and have to resync all data. Video is choppy. Phone works good. Battery is okay for a PDA phone, but still not good as far as phone standards go. Just keep it on the cradle. Nice features, nice layout, could be a bit thinner but other than that, I think it's one of the best overall Pocket PC PDA phones out there. 8/10

This thing does everything but doesn't do a single thing well. I had this device for over 9 months then decided to sell it. the key selling points sound good but this is not a reliable phone. i work for a major cellular service provider that sold this device. take my word for it. dont buy it. HP (hockey puck) is a huge overall let down. give it time, it will let you down. hopefully in time they will find a way to make their product more reliable overall
