Digital camera reviews of HP iPAQ hx2795 Pocket PC (FA676B#ABA)
Digital camera Review: HP iPAQ hx2795 Pocket PC
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall I like the 2795.
Pros: Ease of use, fingerprint security, speed, memory.
Cons: Would like to have seen this with the new Windows Mobile 6.0.
I don't know what the deal is with the unit turning itself on and draining the battery. It's almost like it's trying to update something or run a program, but I feel that if you have it turned off, it should stay off! You have to disable the fingerprint security feature to stop this, mostly, but at times it still happens. Very disappointed with HP in not resolving this with a firmware update.
Anyone have any feedback on this can email me at scarsayz@gmail.com.removethistag

Summary: 4 Stars
I really like the product, its way smaller that I thought, 2 reason i had to send it back, 1. dead pixel, 2. had to reset 3 times in one hour. i dont know wat the heck is wrong with it. it doesnt support kingstore secure digital card, (4gb), otherwise the lcd is cristal clear, has wifi internet which is preety amazing, fast, i didnt get to see everything yet cuz i shiped it back the same day i got it, hope the one i am getting now comes with no diffects.Digital camera Review: Have been using for 1 1/2 yrs
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been happy with this unit. No problems. After reading all these reviews I can't figure out how everbody does additional uses with this HHPC. I know nothing about loading DVD, music, photos etc. It would be great to have all this in 1 HPC.
I bought all options from HP. I'll never do that again. Their prices are twice as high. It was convienent. This has been the best HPC I've ever owned and I will not upgrade for a while.
Digital camera Review: I like it.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my FIRST PDA. It's also one of the fastest which is why it's a higher price the others. I got mine to start out with mainly for paperless Geo Caching. Which works great and lots of programs you can choose from. I also use it for DVD Profiler Mobile to keep track of all my DVDs using DVD Profiler on my PC and it's simple to Sync them up and have current Data on both. I have a GPS Receiver to plug into the Compact Flash port and using that and Navigation software. Needed the GPS Receiver for Geo caching anyway so now it handles both. It's setup to display the current weather for 3 days on the main screen which is really nice for a quick glance. I run Sling player Mobile on it to be able to watch my own TV anywhere in the world I want as long as I have a Broadband Internet connection. Just fine a Open Wifi spot and connect up with the built in Wifi. It also has Built in Blue Tooth. Not only has a Compact Flash port, but a SD card port. I normally use 2 Gig SD cards, but I have a 4 gig SD card that works just fine also. I also play games on it. From a simple game like Solitaire, to Monopoly, SimCity 2000 and my Favorite Atomic Cannon.
I'm Syncing up to my Vista PC. The Install Disc didn't work with Vista, but you download the Sync software from MS to get it connected. Not to hard to do. It runs Window Mobile 5.0, and I wouldn't count on HP doing a 6.0 update. The built in Fingerprint scanner is a nice Touch and works surprisingly well! The built in Speaker isn't very loud, but with some headphones it sounds great and it Stereo, so you can Play your Music on it. There's also great programs out there to RIP DVDs into a nice small file size to play on your PDA. RIP and then watch a Movie anywhere. It's very Flexible. Of course you can browse the Web with Internet Explorer, or download Opera to use Instead.
It's a nice, very flexible device. Just about anything you can think of you can do with it. Lots of Windows Mobile software out there. A little harder learning curve to it then say a IPHONE, but really, it can do so much more then a IPHONE other then there isn't a phone built in. I didn't what a phone built in mine at this time, but if you want something like this but with a built in Cell phone also, look into the 8525 from AT&T. It doesn't have as fast of a processor, but it does have a Pop out keyboard. Myself, I'm not big on Combo Units. I couldn't be more happy with this HP IPAQ hx2795.
P.S. Some of the things I left out are built in Mic to Record at a push of a button. IR port to beam data back and forth from one PDA to another or to use as a Remote Control if you like. Replaceable battery also.
Digital camera Review: IPAQ 2795
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned one of these since the beginning of 2007. It is my third IPAW and it works great. Blue tooth and wireless are easy to use. I have had little to no stability problems when loading software. Battery life is excellent.
I use it for work, travel, (I leave my laptop home), MP3 player, GPS, etc. I take it where ever I go.
I especially like the hand recognition software for taking notes. I only wish it doubled as a cell phone. Perhaps my next one.
