I have just return my iPAQ 1945 due to Hewlett Packard’s apparent celebration of communist China’s most significant holiday that honors the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. I discovered this while looking for information on a new HP iPAQ 1945 Pocket PC that I just purchased when I gave my son my old handheld to use in high school. To say the very least, I was absolutely appalled to receive a popup message on my computer, while visiting HP’s web site, that stated:”Dear Customer, There will be Chinese National Holiday from October 1st to October 3rd. During this period, our iPAQ Parts Store staff will be out of office. You are welcome to place order and email us for any inquiry as usual. We will respond to you immediately after we return. Thank you ! iPAQ Services”When I asked about this on an HP forum, my posts were immediately removed with a form letter to me stating that they had done so. My posts were neither offensive nor inappropriate – except, of course, to communists. Why is an American company endorsing such a despicable event? Why are Americans being censored by HP for asking questions about their practices?As a direct result of this incident, I returned my iPAQ to the store this evening and had no problems doing so – the store’s employees were equally appalled when I showed them the screen captures I made of the above. I will never purchase another HP product again and ask that all Americans consider a boycott against them. While I connected to the official iPAQ parts site (where the message appears) directly from HP’s regular site, you may also go directly to the parts site at: http://www. services. foxconn. com/

This unit is very good. Even though I have returned the item to get 2215. (Because for [$$] difference you get Craddle, Compact Flash slot, 400 Mhz CPU, Premium Pocket Windows OS, etc. )I enjoyed the unit for 13 days. But I did have some problems. (I always complain about problems but not how good it is!)After 13 days of usage, I found some problem with charging. I asked my wife to remove it from charging and give it me while I am standing outside of my apartment, offcourse I told her to keep pressing side buttons and pull it slowly. I dont know how she removed it from the craddle. It started showing me that unit is still charging. Even after 10 hours its the same thing. I bring it back home and put on charging. The LED was blinking very fast for about 3 hours. After fully charing the LED was constant on(It should stop any light or blinking) So I decided to return it. Now I ordered 2215 from Amazon. I waiting for its arrival. One more strange problem — I could not see ‘CAPS’ button on the onscreen keyboard. After returning, I did went to [other retailer] to check, there I found CAPS lock on the both 1945 and 2215 pdas. I wonder what was wrong with the PDA that I had. The unit does’t come with a leather cover. I don’t know why they don’t think the way I think. For example take Sony models, they come with flip cover. Its very important. You spend [$$] on these kind of machines and there is no security ???, you can not just put it into your pant pocket. The unit PALM III some version also had flip cover. They have to think how people are going to use these kind of devices in ones regular life, then they can do things better. 2215 spec shows that it comes with leather slip in case. (If I don’t like that cover or its too bulky then I would return even this 2215). The stylus comes with this unit is too thin. I saw stylus of 2215, its thicker than what 1945 has and looks convenent. For me a PDA should do these things. 1. Do all your regular tasks – regular features of a PDA2. Pocket PC should have all regular microsoft office products3. Convenent to use. Things like brightness, handling, carrying, input data, transfering data from desktop, storing, backup, etc. 4. expandability options. 5. compatability with Microsoft money if its a pocket PCSometimes I think, why should I want PDA ?. The anwser I usually come up with is, “I have lot of electronic gadgets, like, latest colorful T720 wireless phone, Bose Home theater, Sony Wega 32″ TV, Sony VCR, Sony DVD, Sony Audio Receiver, Sony Deck on my Car, etc. etc. “. I spent [$$] on my wireless phone, then why can’t I spend [$$] on PDA ?. Its really crazy. My sincere advice is that, fist dicide why you want and what you are going to do with that. Decide what features you want and how much you spend, and think about. Do you really care about future upgrages??. Sometimes you want upgrades, but by the time you are ready for upgrade, you may find new item with all those features that you wanted. But for less price than what you have already paid for your existing equipment. My openion about bluetooth, is that it is not for normal people earning between $$$$$ pa to $$$$$$$ pa. The best option would be use your cell phone to connect to the PDa and surf the net. My comments or suggestions are very confusing as this is a very completetive world and changing so fast. DO your research and land at a proper place. (I could not do this because I am a crazy electronics fan). This is just my experience and how I felt. But it does’t alter or wanted to alter manufacutures Aims and belief or what is thie game plan.

I’ve had my ipaq 1945 for about 3 mounths, the first day i used it, the screen chiped, and today, for the first time, I dropped my ipaq and the screen broke into a million shards of glass. HP now wantes to charge me $200!!!! to fix the sreeen. DONT BUY FROM IPAQ!! Unless you wanna throw $300 down the drain. Rating: 1 / 5

My husband bought this for me for my birthday in January. I am a pharmacy student and it comes in so handy when I work in a pharmacy. I call it my other brain. The other day while I was working at a pharmacy, it fell from the counter to the floor. It hit a rubber matted floor. The LCM (I think that is what it is called)is now broke. It looks as though liquid is oozing from the top corner. Ever store I have taken it to says it is cheaper to replace the whole unit. I called HP they said it will be 199. 99 to replace plus shipping a labor. What a joke. I will buying a new one, just not an HP. If one little fall from a counter can cause such damage, it is not worth it. I am very disappointed in this product. Buyer Beware! Rating: 1 / 5

I’ve just cracked my fourth ipaq screen in four years. They know they’ve got a problem but they just won’t fix it. Why? So that we’ll just buy another PDA, and another PDA, and another PDA. . .
