For Jamil Ahmed
GPS Receiver = ground positioning system. That is it tells you where on the planet earth you are at any moment. Giving you the location azimuth ie co-ordinates on Earth. If you have a street map it will show you where the best restaurants, hotels etc are and show you the way. You never get lost with a GPS.

I am very interested in how well the camera works. If you own one of these 6515 models, would you mind taking a picture (of just about anything) and sending it to me so that I can see the quality of the pictures. john@thehinesfamily.com

There was a question about diffrent sound for messages. Yes it is posible to set other sound. All you need is to place .wav (only this type of file i tried) file into main windows dir and that file will be in list of messages/notifications.

I have had the 6515 since it came out in the UK in June 2005.. rev C. If you think it's too big for an everyday phone then why not get yourself a girly phone.. Oh and have you ever heard of a BT headset? This Phone/PDA/GPS/Camera fits in your shirt pocket and you don't get an everyday phone with a screen that size with all the features it packs. I have a SDIO wirless card so I can connect to any open network I walk past, to check my emails etc. and it is capable of WEP/WPA encryption also, which enables me to connect to my home WiFi router. I also have a Gig mini SD in it so I can watch Films play MP3's blah blah blah. To top it off I also have the HP BT headphones for that qualtity sound without wires.
I don't think I will trade it in for the 6900 as the SDIO slot is missing and takes away that little bit of extra functionality.
My 6515 is practically indistructable dropped it 4 times, it is a bit scuffed around the edges but still work perfectly. I advise getting one of those silicon rubber cases, they are like a body glove for the device. Looks good, protects and hides any scratches if you have dropped it.
To sum up.. if you want something that does everything, then get one of these. That's about it..

It is not a good device, my revision hw6515c for example don't have ROM upgrade so the phone don't work ok.
It hangs all the time and don't forward calls.
I call HP and they don't have solution.
GPS works with TOMTOM but they don't have my map area.
I do not recomend.
Buy a Treo 650.

I just got this phone about a month ago, and I am just getting used to it. I can say it's a little quirky to get setup initally, but once it's done, you can't beat the features.
PROS:
-Using TOMTOM Navigation software with the GPS feature is AWESOME. Throw away that MS pocket streets. I was looking at the Magellan Roadmate and Garmin GPS's that sell for over $800 each, so this alone can make the price of the HW6515 a steal. I have used many GPS's and this TOMTOM software on here is dead-on accurate with perfect voice prompts. It even has accurate traffic updates & wrecks if you enable it.
-MS Voice Software works well for voice dialing and announcing caller id's. This is nice since I can not figure out how to assign a particular ringtone to an individual caller.
-It works great with a 2 GIG Mini-SD card for watching MP4 movies (with the right player) as well as storing all of your MP3 songs.
- Add an external WIFI Card for the extra SD slot and you'll be surfing high speed with everyone else.
CONS:
-It is hard to use just as a "phone". You can not hold down a number key for one touch speeed dial which I miss.
-Sometimes when using the GPS and/or watching a movie, you simply can't answer a call. It just kinda "locks up" Typical Windows.
- The battery power is dismal. As posted before using the PDA all day checking your email and such with the backlight on, you can barely get 8 hours work of power. Listening to MP3's - Forget about it. I find myself charging it every chance I get. I just ordered a new high capacity battery, so I hope it will help.
-Most all apps, games, themes are for the bigger PDA screens so they do not work well on the smaller screen on HW6515.
- So far there is no IR Remote control software that works with the hw6515 that I have found to work with your TV and such.
Hope that helps some of you. I wouldn't trade it for all it does, I can put up with the quirks.
