HP IPaq Hx4705 Review

by Yardena Arar

- The IPaq Hx4700 series of Windows Mobile 2003-based Pocket PCs sport a touchpad in place of the navigation button that most IPaqs have. It also accepts stylus-based input. Trapezoidal in shape, the touchpad on the Hx4705 occupies the central inch or so at the bottom of this charcoal-gray-and-black PDA. The touchpad's matte surface is punctuated by four slightly raised points--called Tap Zones--laid out in a diamond pattern measuring about 0.75 inch wide by 0.25 inch high.

User Reviews for HP Ipaq Hx4705

Reviewed by: rbus

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Full VGA screen, choice of portrait or landscape view, built-in wi-fi and bluetooth

Weaknesses: Touchpad vs rocker button for navigation, 90-day warranty

Overall Evaluation: Display really looks good and landscape photos are a lot larger and easier to view in landscape mode. Wi-fi works well even with WEP turned on and broadcast mode turned off (i.e, wi-fi system does not broadcast its name). Only drawback is the 90-day warranty, an insult to have such a short period of protection for a device this expensive.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Screen resolution & color, memory, battery life, installed programs

Weaknesses: Availability of accessories - not nearly as available as Palm products.

Overall Evaluation: My first PDA was a Compaq iPAQ and I loved it. Following its demise, I moved to a competitor and was not nearly as impressed with the performance or the product quality. When it came time to replace that unit, I moved back to the iPAQ and I very happy that I did. It is a quality unit in almost every way.
