 Who would put their name on this? July 29, 2008

Apparently HP would, but I don't know why. The s/w is buggy, and documentation (on a disk, you provide the printer) is simply ridiculous. There are numerous arcane uptions in configuration that the manual doesn't mention. I guess if you just want a cool toy, this would be great, but I need a TOOL; the apparently insurmountable issues with synchronization render this thing all but useless to me. Also, it just FEELS fragile; every time I pull the stylus out, my fingernail catches the trim that doesn't quite fit right, so I know it won't last long. I'll go back to my clunky but reliable 2210. I guess Amazon will charge me a 15% restocking fee, but I'll write that off to lessons learned about mail order.
 Good product July 14, 2008
Am enjoying my new iPAQ, previously had a Toshiba and and having a little problem getting use to the updated windows software. I don't find the sync to work as smoothly and I also had to add memory to speed the processing, other than that, I'm very pleased. Suz

I received the item promptly and it was in great condition! I can't thank you enough. Will definitely do business again in the future.
My First PDA/Pocket PC or How I Spent My Summer Bonus July 10, 2008

After researching PDAs for years now, sometimes on the verge of buying one only to give in to my inner Luddite and running out for another paper planner, I finally bit the bullet and bought the iPAQ 111 Classic Handheld.
The good reviews are accurate and the few bad reviews are mostly vague and unspecific, focusing on stylus replacements and not much on performance.
I've been using mine for three days now and have used almost every feature except for the bluetooth. I've downloaded a couple of programs to it from Handango with ease. I've set it up to send and receive from two email accounts- one internet based and the other through my ISP. No problems there. I've set appointments, set tasks and set a wakeup alarm- easier than setting my clock and more organized than the business cards with notes jotted on the back.
I don't have Outlook on my Vista OS so I can't take advantage of syncing to my laptop, but it doesn't much matter as I've never used Outlook nor the Windows Mail and Windows Calendar that came with Vista. I'm in for a long evening of entering contacts manually but I've got a bottle of wine opened.
Sometimes when I use the stylus, if I'm holding the unit awkwardly, I'll accidentally hit the email button but I think there's an option of turning those buttons off. If not, I'll just stop holding the unit awkwardly.
There have been reviewers who tend to mistake the power button for the record button on the right side of the device and one claims to have recorded himself unknowingly. I haven't had this issue as the power button is at the far top and the record button is at the far bottom. Plus, you have to tap the "record" button on the screen as well to make it start recording.
For me, it's a great product and my fiance likes it too. I may end up getting him one for Christmas or as a wedding present.
Under no circumstances should you buy an iPaq 111 July 9, 2008

What a colossal disappointment. I chose this HP iPaq 111 after years of using Palm products. I heard very good things about it. Regrettably, good reports were exaggerated. The iPaq is much more cumbersome to enter dates in. It will not sync with Outlook on your desktop. Apparently, this is a new development. If you value having a back up and entering data on the desktop, this is not the product for you.
