Sorry to post that, but I own this phone since at least 8 months (I bought it the first month of its availability). My conclusion is: I don't like this phone. I do like its features: GPS and outlook organizer and detailed contact list. But the phone is slow, very slow. Its sometime unusable! I am unable to answer some calls because the phone can take 3 sec to "power on", even if the screen is available and showing me the call. It should be at least 2 time faster to be a good phone. Check other brands.

you know they ask you to turn off your phones while on the flight. Next time u do that you might take the plane down with this phone.

About the slow phone operations on this phone, its actually the Window Mobile 5 thats causing the slowness.

Here is the fix to this problem:

Look in the thread for the "Phone Hack.zip" file.

Overall, I find this phone excellent. It's the Swiss-Army-knife of phones. My battery lasts a decent amount of time, 3-4 days between charges based on my usage. I also have 2 extra batteries so it's all good.

The gps in this ipaq is great, I downloaded de GPS TUNER , use my own maps for calibration and i was ready to go. I used my Ipaq gps on a commercial flight sitting by the window, and I got gps fix all the flight. It was great having all my flight info, speed, alt, avrg speed, ete, eta.

Hey everyone, I just bought the 6925 Cingular (unlocked). It's good, the screen could be brighter & higher resolution (u can't tell how dark it is unless u put it next to another phone - the screen is really basically fine)

I have installed TomTom and the GPS works great, but u gotta get a fix for GPS to work with TomTom:

Registry Editor
http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/..._Editor.aspx

1. Connect your Pocket PC to your computer using ActiveSync.

3. Run the registry editor and navigate to the following registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > ControlPanel > GPS Settings

4. Click on GPS Settings to view the keys associated with this entry.

5. Right-click the value Hide and choose Delete to delete the value.

basically the phone is good, it's a bit big, the qwerty is good, camera i don't really care about .. the dial pad theme can be improved but for some reason i can't install another one.... other than that, the qwerty is good, its just a bit slow but no problems with calls or anything... its generally good, the only way I will upgrade is if another model comes out with gps, wifi, bluetooth, qwerty, its a lot smaller and high resolution good screen.. otherwise theres no need to upgrade

Very bad phone, bad battery, always turn off immediately (a big problem of HP 69xx series). I must replace 4 ones for the time of warranty limited.
Never think about HP again
