Digital camera reviews of HP iPAQ hx2495b Pocket PC (FA674B#ABA)
Digital camera Review: Really Cool
Summary: 4 Stars
I love my new IPAQ! I wanted a PDA with more bells and whistles and one that was windows compatible, but not one built into a phone. While I miss the keyboard on my old Blackberry, I don't miss being quite that connected - and the IPAQ does everything I wanted it to - internet, calendar and other files. I'm still learning it - but its good. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was that I had problems getting it to sync at first. But the problem was with my PC/Outlook, and the HP team helped me through the problem and kept calling back to make sure it had been resolved. And their call center was in Canada - an added bonus.Digital camera Review: SD Card in Hx2495b
Summary: 4 Stars
When you inserted SD card on this device it will drain the battery fast... My advice is after you used your PDA just removed the SD Card in the slot... It wont eats more power than with the SD Card inserted. Its a hassle but believe me that will work efficent to save more power. ThanksDigital camera Review: Some suggestions for Ipaq 2495b
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't remember how long I have had my 2495b but it has been at least 3 years. I have a 4Gb compact flash card and a 2Gb SD card installed and I consistently get 8 to 9 hours. I have never had a problem with this device and it is used 7 days a week. For those of you with the problem of the battery draining, I would suggest you go on the HP support site and research. Microsoft had a problem with the alarms/notifications waking the device up and draining the battery. If I recall, it was a Microsoft problem, not HP. It was a "Microsoft Windows Pocket PC 2003" problem. Google it and you can find a fix. If I remember, I had to change a few settings. Make sure you have the latest Rom installed and have applied all the HP updates. Also, make sure that you set the external keys to not turn the PDA on, with the exception of the on/off button. If it is in your pocket, many times the 4 lower keys will turn the unit on unintentionally. There has been extensive discussions of the battery drain problem on the HP Forums. One solution was setting up a "fake server." Apparently, Microsoft never stepped up to the plate to provide a fix. However, as in my case, there are work arounds. I have been well pleased with my Ipaq, especially the battery life. Hope this helps.
PS I remember, I have replaced the battery once, but like I said, it is used daily.
Digital camera Review: What a man needs
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an upgrade for most ipaq users of the 1900 series. it's a great midrange pda but some application are slow or have problems work. the charger does have some glitches but it can be over come. Over all you can deal with this exp if you load other programs to it.Digital camera Review: alarms: what is that.
Summary: 1 Stars
the alarms don't pay any attention to the settings in sounds and notifications. they repeat twice and then quit. the light doesn't flash except the first time. half of the time they don't work. i sent it back for repair and they didn't do a thing to it but send it back to me the next day. same problem, it is the way it is designed but they won't admit it.
