Probably the best iPaq yet ...
I have now had this device for a couple of weeks. I have previously owned several Pocket PCs, including a few earlier versions of the iPaq. Of the ones I have tried, this is almost certainly the best. Having WiFi, Bluetooth, SDHC support (previous versions didn't support the new higher capacity cards that this one does - I have an 8Gb SD card in mine), a standard USB connection (previous iPaqs I owned use a proprietary USB connector) a relatively fast processor, the latest version of Windows Mobile (including useful new features such as SD card data encryption) all whilst retaining a relatively small form factor is a strong combination. Whilst many will opt for a Pocket PC phone (as my last Windows Mobile device was), having a seperate PDA from your phone has advantages for some e.g. if you are obliged to use a particular mobile phone for work (as I am) then you don't need phone features on your PDA. With this device I can keep all of my personal contacts seperate from the business contacts on my phone and use bluetooth to get my phone (a Blackberry Pearl) to dial any number I select on my iPaq Classic. Add in a high capacity SD card and this device doubles up as a reasonably competent media player. It has a standard headphone socket (no headphones supplied) or you can use the built in speaker. Web browsing over wi-fi works as well as any device I have seen of this size. It also comes with a rather nice slip case. Overall, not a stunning leap forward compared to previous iPaqs but its hard to find fault with it.

Excellent PDA - YOU MUST GET ONE!
I've been using my Jornadas for years now and been quite happy with them, so you can imagine how wonderful it was to find this PDA for 140 quid from a seller on Amazon.

Upgrading from a Jornada 928 was really a leap so you might be thinking that I'd think any of the new PDAs were brilliant. But, I have to say, this has all the features you could possible want for email, internet browsing (even though the mobile version is more limited than the PC version).

Browsing is quick - pictures and text are loaded quickly from internet sites. You can use it for eBay. I am a seller and I use it to check my sales and the wap version of the eBay site loads fine and is easy to use (I had trouble loading it on my phone - it was just awful!). I haven't found any website to be a problem yet.

Just tap the wi-fi icon and it finds your broadband router and asks for the wep key - it's that easy!

I put my email details in and it tells me on my 'Today' screen if I have any new messages. It doesn't automatically delete them from the server, so you can use it as a window to view your messages before dealing with them properly at your laptop/pc. You can, however, set the PDA to delete all the messages from the server at the same time as you delete them from your PDA if you wish by changing a setting in the options.

The newest version of Active Sync was supplied and picked up my new PDA and my old PDA no problem.

The 'OK' button pressed and held for a couple of seconds lets you rotate the screen to landscape and I have found I prefer this view for other applications as well as for internet browsing. A left-handed option is also available in settings.

I don't know what else to say other than this has wi-fi, bluetooth which are both really easy to set up. Ok, there's no phone or camera but I've already got a camera phone that I love for that and it suits me fine to have a PDA that's just for internet use and organization. All the necessary notes, word and calculation programs are included as well as superb media software. Programs load quickly so there's no waiting between screen taps and something happening. Fantastic little PDA!

Great bargain and worth every penny! GET ONE!

Maybe a decent phone would be better
I bought the iPAQ to replace my deceased Palm Tungsten E which I liked, but the new Tungstens have had reports of unreliability. On the positive side the iPAQ syncs easily with my Windows XP computer, and was easy to connect with my domestic WiFi, though using the internet on a small screen will always be a limited and frustrating experience.
However I find the Windows Mobile 6 operating system very clunky to use, no quicker than the organiser on my mobile phone. The Palm was far simpler and more intuitive. The real question is whether it is worth having the iPAQ as well as your mobile phone. To make the case it has to do the job better and quicker. For me it isn't a sufficient improvement over the phone. If you are going to use the Mobile Office software, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook a lot then maybe you can make a case for it. Otherwise I'd think hard about upgrading your phone instead.
