Digital camera reviews of HP iPAQ hx2795 Pocket PC (FA676B#ABA)
Digital camera Review: Good product but could be a little better
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros:
- size/weight
- security system (fingertip) - when it works
- screen resolution/quality
- battery charging via USB
- available memory
- expansion slots
Cons:
- security system sometimes does not recognize fingertips
- speaker provides too low sound, poor bass/treble adjustment
- non-standard USB port
- it should come also with an separated USB cable to avoid using always the cradle to sync
I won't debrief about Windows Mobile 5 and it's damned Activesync issues :>)
Digital camera Review: Great Device, but UPDATE THE BIOS!
Summary: 4 Stars
At first I was having many problems - wouldn't sync, loss of or wouldn't connect to a WIFI signal, and the battery seemed to get rundown VERY fast. I found myself having to do soft resets on the device almost daily. I tried to use HP's website to update the BIOS, but after 3 days of trying the ones listed, which gave me "wrong model" errors, I called HP and discovered the right one for the hx2795b was not listed out there! So they gave me the exact ftp link to the update: ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp33001-33500/sp33003.exe Paste this into your browser on your PC and then run it. Once I completed the update, the device has been working great!!
My only other "con" is that the Manual leaves much to be desired. This device is more of a "figure-it-out-as-you-go" device, which may prove frustrating for some.
Digital camera Review: Great Pocket PC
Summary: 5 Stars
The hx2795 is a well designed product that has worked flawlessly. This being my fourth PPC, I was happy to see HP stayed with both the Compact Flash and SD card slots, giving the user plenty of storage and options. The internet connectivity also worked well (only tried it on a hotel wi-fi network) right out of the box with no additional software needed. Just an all around excellent, well designed product. Highly recommended.Digital camera Review: Great item
Summary: 4 Stars
the only reason I give it a 4 star is that it sometimes goes to sleep and I can't wake it up easily. It may be user error but I don't think so. Requires me to change power source to wake it up. Love the email connections and file transfer, keeps my work schedule with me.Digital camera Review: Great product. Good specs for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
At the time that I bought it, it was the best I could get for $400. It will clearly last me a few years. It has all of the important add-ons and some frills. I haven't had luck with infrared, but Bluetooth works like a dream and the fingerprint scanner and memory encryption makes it safe and secure. I store all sorts of information for my job on it, and its synching with Outlook keeps me from losing my mind.
My only complaints are that HP isn't quick enough to make the Windows Mobile 6 upgrade available. They were prompt with the Daylight Savings Time change update, though. The device doesn't come with a Java Virtual Machine, which makes much of the free software out there unusable. I should've held out for a Windows Mobile phone.
Otherwise, this is a great tool.
