Hi all. I'm a prospective buyer of the Hp Ipac rw 6828. I've been to the phone outlet and fell in love with it but they were out of sock. In the mean time I'm reading the comments and there seems to be a lot of pros with the fone. Can any1 advise me if its worthwhile to purchase the fone?
Does it have GPS on already installed. If not can I download it?
Thank you.

I gave up on HP productS three years back. When their PDA range came out I was so eagar. Then everything start sucking up...My advise....dun buy HP. Just another US company making a fool out of everyone. When my batt died I called....the helpline say the dun support it anymore....they advise go online and look for batt. What a load of crap

Whilst i have been very happy with my xda mini II i have been looking for something better and i thought i had found it with the rw 6828. now that ive used it, there are some good features on it but guys you have failed miserably with the battery power and the time it takes to say switch between 2 dates on the calender is up to 20 seconds somethines. i cant run a business like that. i'm handing ther unit back going back to my origianl XDA. i honestly thought there'd be something better by now. Shame.

This HP model loses out to Dopod 818 pro. Both are about the same form factor and size. Both have same price tag. But the main difference is Dopod 818 has quad bands. I travel alot overseas and sometimes to Japan. The fourth band comes handy. Sound quality too is better.

I've had my unit for about 6 weeks now. It's great as a PDA but yesterday I had a problem with the sync function that I still have not been able to resolve. The help file and manual do not address the "synchronization error" message that I keep getting. This is irritating the hell out of me because I need to do a sync every day. So any help would be appreciated.
The other features: (1) lousy (and I mean absolutely terrible) phone reception and lousy connection for both myself and the other party (2) the camera is only OK (3) the earphones suck big time. When I first saw them I thought someone had made a mistake, the quality and feel was so bad. They don't even fit properly in the ears. (4) the documentation that came with it could really be improved. I find myself resigned to having to visit user forums like this one whenever I have a problem.
Overall rating: I would give it 6.5 out of 10. HP should really get its act together. This is the kind of rating you might expect from a less prestigious brand. Keep this up and HP will find itself classed among those other brands pretty soon, if it isn't happening already.

Don't make phone calls while driving. So some genius SMS while they are driving. Another rocket scientist!

a great fone ... if not for its problems.
1. when on loudspeaker = other party hears mobile phone interference
2. Alarms, ringtones repeats but the gap is too long
3. i had a main board problem which caused the clock to be slower than everything else
4. Appointments from PC sync but without the appointment notes. from PDA to PC is ok.
5. lagging here and there
6. Wifi is only B, uses up alot of battery
7. reception is not so good
8. Cant SMS while driving. You really need two hands to use the fone
9. speakers are too soft, as the HP service crew said that its built in to the main board.
if its your first HP, i wouldnt recommened it. Buy something else. Apart from that, if you really need a PDA phone like me, then be prepared for the problems and make sure you know the address of the HP service center because you're sure to be there at some point.

My experience with this device:
- Camera flickering, have to reset over and over again to temporary solve the problem. I've even tried to hard reset the device but yet still have the problem.
- Caller cannot hear clearly when using their bundled ear piece.

This was recommended highly at the time I purchased it last month, I upgraded to HP from a O2 XdaII. The few problems I see are the system get stuck and its quite slow at times and the 2M camera is useless perhaps the software change might give some improvement.
