Digital camera reviews of HP iPAQ hx2495b Pocket PC (FA674B#ABA)
Digital camera Review: A good buy
Summary: 4 Stars
I needed this product as an organizer plus storage of some books on its SD card. The only problem I found was it is not supporting no more than 2GB memory card. Other than this I felt it serves my purpose.Digital camera Review: Big disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars
I went to fund raiser for a Non profit organization that we like to support. Saw this at their silent auction, bought it. It was new in the box thought it would be good for helping me organize. Right from the start it would not drop the align screen page. Called HP, they suggested a clean reset, didn't work. Now I have to send it in for a $49.00 service fee, what a joke. Take my advice look elsewhere and don't buy an electronic item new in the box from a silent auction.Digital camera Review: Brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars

Summary: 4 Stars
No doubt HP (Compaq?) did a good job translating market needs into a specification. The problem happened when they went into production.
This PDA has most of what "mobile professionals" need. Power, speed, connectivity....HP however, missed the boat on the quality dimension.
My machine keeps turning on & off throughout the day and night until it runs out of juice. By the time I need it, the battey is almost dead.
Synchronizing is another problem, Activesync 4.2 is much more unstable and limited than previous versions, thus loosing recently modified information or "forcing you" to create duplicate files in order to retain your changes. Before you know it, you have 3-4 documents for the same file. This isn't synchronizing anymore, this is...duplicating.
Overall the product has more pros than cons, however these quality glitches does detract from the good job made by R&D.
This product isn't the HP quality product we became accustomed to, when in college !

Digital camera Review: Don't use SD card!
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought this was a great unit until I inserted the SD card and it never was the same.
Check the hp forum. In spite of the workarounds once you insert the card your nifty little PDA is junk.
The battery life was great for months - I was pleasantly surprised. It was a wonderful unit. After deciding it would be useful tool and began loading schedules and plugged the card in, things got ugly. At this time my battery discharge rate is about 1% per 5-7 minutes. None of the workarounds or service pack fixes does squat to alleviate the problem. I'm really upset because hp will not touch it - I just got past the warranty a couple of months ago and now I have to pay to fix their junk.
Caution - do not use any SD cards in this PDA.
