  Duration of ownership: 2 Months

  Strengths: It does pretty much everything I want. I hate the thumb keyboard of the others. I like the fact you can write and it will translate to the software.

  Weaknesses:Camera is not the best but I didn't buy it for photography.

  Overall Evaluation: I bought this after reading negative reviews. One user suggested the T-Mobile upgrade. I got it. Played with it, did the T-Mobile update then switched my phone over. It works fine. The only problem I had was when I hit too many things too fast. (I get impatient.) I love it. My bluetooth headset worked just fine with it.

  Duration of ownership: 3 Weeks

  Strengths: Has: Wifi, Bluetooth, Ifrared, phone/PDA, detachable keyboard

  Weaknesses:Locks up constantly, not much integrated memory, bluetooth is horrible, Wifi is not very good, very very slow processor

  Overall Evaluation: I got this unit about 2-3 weeks ago and I was thilled with it at first because it was my first PDA/Phone. Soon after I started to notice that it locks/freezes up a lot. When I say "a lot" I mean 3 or 4 plus times a day (that's not normal, although for this phone I guess it is). When I first turn on the unit I can tap start and it takes like 20 seconds for it to come up. However, after that point it responds just fine. The touch screen alignment is off a lot, no matter how often and how carefully I tap the alignment crosshairs. The Wifi work well for the most part (I updated it to the lastest update on HP's site) however, when I originally connect to my WLAN it just sits there and says "connecting..." and never says connected. Then when I go out it is connect but the status never changed. I have updated to the newest version of the ROM that HP provides and I still have problems. The bluetooth worked when I connected my Jabra headset to it like the first 2 times. However, after that it would not connect for anything. It would see the headset but said it couldn't connect no matter what I did. One plus that I like about this unit is that you can use MMCs as well as SD memory cards. Yes, MMCs can be very slow but if you have one laying around (like I did) then you won't have to buy extra memory. On top of that this only has Windows Media Player Mobile 9. You need Windows 2003 Mobile Second Edition to upgrade to 10. I wanted to listen to my Sirius radio (which can stream through a couple of utilities found on the web) but it requires WMP10.So, in conclusion...this unit is very very slow. Bluetooth sucks, Wifi is decent, reception is decent, it locks up so many times you will want to throw it out the window, touch screen is not very good, it has a small amount of memory, only has WMP9, the list goes on and on. There are far more negatives about this unit than positive. If I was to talk to someone that was thinking about buying one of these I would 100% tell them not to get it. For this price you can get a much better one. Get an iMate, they are cool!

  Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks

  Strengths: Many features (I mean ALOT)Tri-bandIt has bluetooth and WiFi as an addition to a phoneIt has an IR port

  Weaknesses:low quality (very low) camera images compare w/ Nokia phonesSlighty heavier than other handheldsbulkyRubber antenna cap can go off when extensively stored in a tight pocket.

  Overall Evaluation: I like this phone! It has that very familiar Windows interface which gives out this "homey" feel. Placing all those features in that small thing, I find, is amazing! Since this is still uncommon, people usually find this to very expensive (okay, it already is). Many estimate it to be around $1500.Okay, the cons. I find the antenna annoying. It is now slightly loose. This really only happens when you pocket it and if you use the belt case, you won't have a problem (besides my Wranglers are really tight!) When listening to music, an earphone or head phone is really needed. The speakers aren't very loud. If you want, you can place the speakers beside your ear as if your calling. You can feel the tug when you place the phone on your breast pocket, this is one thing I don't like.Other than that, this device is awesome! But you have enough money for the P910i, I highly recommend that. It is slightly better than this phone.Keith

  Strengths: none

  Weaknesses:memory design support phone and hp corp monster

  Overall Evaluation: I have had 3 of them and they simply do not work. Bad design not enough memory and HP has abandoned thier loyal customer base. Sad, but my first love , the ipaq, is dead and gone, betrayed by HP failure. ultimate sin HP lies about the ipaq and refuses to fix problems.

  Strengths: integrated 3-way wireless capabilities (GSM/GPRS Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless technology, 3.5" Transflective TFT; 64K colors screen...the camera, the battery life, just everything.

  Weaknesses:The fact that you have to be a real tech guy to enjoy it!! Because you may think something is wrong but it's just the way it is...

  Overall Evaluation: The problem people seem to have with this product is that it's made for people who knows how to use it and there is an upgrade for it @ http://www.t-mobile.com/hpupdate/ and the instruction are there...however it does have a slow processor...because there is allot of great thing on it so that the reason... If you buy this h6315 you should get to know it and set it up before you get it connected Also if you have a wireless head set make sure it's compatible for it YO! This looks so professional and useful...on your waist it is a show stopper because not a lot of people has it... It's one of the successful PDA/PHONE/CAMERA so that why there is so much to cry about here is not a wide verity so we better appreciate it... Read everything in the box...some people soft reset for anything... There more to talk about but just know your product and it will do you good!!!
