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

True, the backspace takes a full 1.5 seconds to reflect. Many times calls are missed while the memory is full. I love the browsing experience of the phone but these small errors are irritating. The audio quality (while talking) isnt something I am too proud of

I have had the Australian version of this PDA phone (hw6965) for almost 9 months now. It replaced a SE 910i. The HP with WM5.0 has very many features as a PDA, including GPS. However, as a phone it is very disappointing. Phone functionality is very slow and frustrating despite a relatively fast processor. HP needs to dedicate more processor power to the phone. Response to incoming calls is so slow or not at all that they are often missed. The joy stick is difficult to use and is nothing compared to the SE thumbwheel. A serious lack for a high-powered PDA is that it does not have UMTS (3G). I am thinking of going to thSE990i or whatever follows it (fast, featured and user friendly).

Did anyone see that the backspace key during phone operation is very slow? Or is it just inmy unit (6965)? Rest looks fine..I used to own 6515 and the backspace key in that works just fine.

crappy 3d mapking software included, all maps are outdated. if you want newer map, you have to buy again. support is bad. phone hangs up a lot. been bringing the phone to dealer almost every month. problems encountered, (1) notification for all appointments doesn't pop up anymore, (2) if you try to install other 3rd party programs, the phone hangs, (3)the joystick gets sticky and gets stuck often when you press/toggle it up (4) GPS hangs or doesn't get signal sometimes - no data stream (5) last time i sent to dealer, they had to send it to HP service center for board replacement. after a few days, the appointment notification doesn't pop-up anymore. i give up. phone is crappy, crappy, crappy! i wish i didn't buy this phone. FAIR WARNING TO ALL POTENTIAL BUYERS, DON'T EVEN CONSIDER BUYING THIS PHONE OR YOU WILL JUST LOSE MONEY!

Question for readers, anyone know how I can get the built-in camera to work as webcam with Skype Mobile? I have installed Skype mobile software (works very well) but would appreciate any advice on how I can activate inbuilt camera to work with Skype. Have had my new iPaq for a month now, working exactly as HP says, a real pleasure to use daily although a high capacity (extended) battery is an absolute must(have ordered a 2500 mAh).
Anyone who can advise me how to solve the webcam issue, their help would be appraciated very much.
Thanks for reading this post.

Very very fragile and expensive screen! It fell from a tea table (barely 35cm height). I crack on the screen. HP service is very firm that it is user's fault, it is strictly out of varnty coverage. Result is 269USDplus VAT bill for the repair. One cannot help but think that the trick is to make money by replacing such a fragile and expensive screen. I used many other pdas so far . I dropped some too bun none so flimsy enough to break at a little more then a feet height.
