I bought the 610c four years ago, was my third Ipaq, it was expensive and very soon was outperformed by other smart phones. Althought it has a lot of facilities it is complicated to use, not friendly at all. Even when I changed the battery it resets by itself very frequentely, this is very annoying. I will not buy any Ipaq anymore, I have been very dissapointed for long time. I am going to discard it very soon.

George phone turn off when battery reaches 50% because it's old battery, when battery new and original that problem will not happen. I upgrade my HP 614c on Windows mobile 6.1. upgrade firmware too, and phone works great. I have only one problem with GPRS because he don't turn off automatics when I exit from browser. But phone is great very easy for navigate, smart wheal on manila edition is perfect, and I reccomend for install a few programs that improve a functionality of that phone like is Inesoft Phone EX v5.0 that fix problems of time lag after you answer to phone, and WoW HD that improves sound louds level and qualitly also, and Resco contact manager. I love this phone becaus he have option for touch screen and hardware classic keyboard. Only Motorola Droid pro XT610 have that but that phone is expensive like a two hp 614c. Great phone with a lot of acessories is business navigator, you can repair yourself with manuals on youtube, web and buy almost every part of him.

I bought 614c several years ago and I must say that it is the worst phone I have ever had. It is a business phone, somebody said it is not pleasure. I totally agree, but it is definitely not business, far from it. Most basic features that any phone have like calling is not working at all. When battery reaches 50% it tends to freeze but only when somebody calls you and you can guess, when you restart it you will not see any missed calls. Most annoying thing is that during that period when it is friezed it will give ringing sign to anyone who is calling you but you will not be aware of that in any way. Same goes with SMS, etc. Business they said, oh yes, in your dreams. That phone cost me lot of money because of those calls that I was not aware of. I applied upgrades, send emails to support, nothing has been done and to be honest I didn't expect it to be because that is how it is designed and implemented. There's nothing professional in it it. I'll not mention other issues, they were told over and over.
HP, yours very disappointing and never again customer.

Replace your battery and it will be ok.
I use this great phone about half year and I am very satisfy. Recommend all that upgrade windows mobile to 6.5. and install aplication Resco contact manager, this is better than Manilla Touch sense who can also can be install on this phone. For this phone you have many aplications for free, install Omarket and Marketplace to install all for free.

I used this great iPAQ for 1 year, great in every way untill the day that it just "died", can´t charge battery or turn it on and tech support is not the best. Did it happened the same to anyone? I'd apreciate some feedback. :)

I have both Ipaq 612C and Nokia 5800. In comparing that two, in term of GPS sattelite reception, 612C is much better than Nokia. Maybe bcoz Garmin Windows Mobile version is better than Symbian version. When it comes to battery 5800 is 150% better than 612C.

Anybobody can tell me where I can buy second battery for this Ipaq 612C?

Just buy my hp 612c last week (24 April 2010).
With Windows Mobile 6.5.
Firmware 8.8

- Got wireless and Sound after install application.
- Always "hang"..

Solution.
Upgraded firmware 8.9 from HP website.

Result...TIP TOP. No issue at all.
I install a lot application without any issue..

After used it while...only not satisfied with Sound quality and Camera quality..

HP should start used Carl Zeis Camera and create Secondary camera for iPAQ Model...

> In reply to phileos @ 2009-10-13 15:52 from tV4p - click to readI agree, mine turns off about every hour, even if it's fully charged, ring tones are too quiet, when it's in the car using the GPS, it stops charging suddenly. HP won't even answer my emails about it. Very annoyed with HP over this phone.

My 614 resets itself about every hour or so and normally when I am on a call or sending an SMS. Has anyone else had this problem or am I the only one?
