Great - battery life EXCELLENT!
To put everyone's mind at ease, BATTERY DRAIN PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED (you simply have to do a few steps to fix it).BATTERY LIFE IS EXCELLENT once you complete the fix(I can go several days on standby and still have well over 80% battery power left).
Battery Drain Solution
Just thought I'd add this bit for people who suffer the battery drain problem. This happens when you have an SD card inserted and a working Activesynch connection. It has something to do with constantly monitoring the card's output.
greatest decision ever
I love it what more can I really say about it. i've had it for over a month a month and I absolutely luv it. connected with wifi and it is flawless. just superb performance overall. a little pricey, but well worth it. ... Read more

finally got it, and love it
I used to have RX3115, but I took the LCD out to replace the cracked LCD on HX2415
not for everybody, but it does have a lot for the $
My attraction to the RX 3715 is the bundle of features it contains, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, reasonable memory with a 1 GB SD card, and the little digital camera.If you are looking for more speed, this is not for you.But, if you want a multi-package, it is.
You have to learn your PDA first...
Basically I got the same problem as Frank did and I suspect we are not alone here. One day the screen started freezing on me right at the end of the booting sequence and software reset did not help. I thought something had burned out inside and prepared to send it back for warranty repair. However after short talk to HP tech support it turned out that special hardware reset (two buttons and one pin, you can find it in product support section at www.hp.com) perfectly solves this problem at the unfortunate price of losing everything stored in the memory. I have worked out a good habit to back up memory regularly so it took me 5 minutes to recover. Regarding the searches of more reliable device I have one question: Are you always changing your desktop computer when Windows freezes on you? PDA is just another computer with Windows on it, so be prepared for unexpected particularly when you feed your little buddy with uncertified software. The camera on this device did not meet my expectations. I need sharp pictures of text. I am too lazy for re-typing info from different text sources and prefer taking a picture of them, but most of my pictures turns out to be unreadable. (Maybe I am a lousy picture taker, but this device does not work for me anyway). In spite of all the above I like this device. MP3s sound great. Outdoor pictures turns out good. Movies play smooth and nice. Mike is acceptable for speech recording. Battery life is unmatched as long as you do not turn on wireless. What else do you expect from small multimedia PDA? I would buy it again, especially if it were half-price:) ... Read more

FANTASTIC PDA!!!!
This was my first PDA, and I wanted to purchase one mainly as a medical reference tool.Having no prior experience with PDA's, I carefully read the reviews on various websites on a number of high end Palm and PocketPC PDA's.I was in a quandry, because the reviews were so mixed.While the majority gave favorable or so-so reviews of the various models, many were greatly disappointed and described horror stories of wasting days trying to get the product to work properly.
Amazing
Ibought this one mainly for medical use. After paying I started looking for reviews and was horrified to find out that it had many OS problems
HP's best pocket PC to date
This is the third iPaq I've purchased in the last 5 years.It has all the bells and whitles of the previous versions with the newer version of Windows Mobile. other than better memory management (a lot better, I might add) the only other difference Win Mobile 5 added was PowerPoint.

Good pocket pc
This is a great pocket pc it has everything I need to do my work. I would highly recomend you get this for your teenager because can help them with their school work.

You will waste your life trying to get it to work.
I bought mine in Dec 04. Like many people I thought I needed this to stay organized. The basic features worked fine (Contacts, Calendar, etc..) It's when you try to use features like Wifi, bluetooth, Nevo, Etc... that you waste hours before you get it to work properly. If you have the time you can get them to work, but I found that I never really used the wifi or any multimedia features.
Didn't want to tap anymore
My RX3115 worked like a charm. beautiful display. onboard memory is very small- buy a card and store all your stuff on it. had no problems synchronising with my regular computer. bought it in February '06 and now it won't respond to my stylus anymore. grrrr...... ... Read more

Really Good Product
I really love this Ipaq it has every thing I need to do my Job with. This can really replace your laptop. But if you do buy this you will need a WiFi card to connect to the internet. Hp Job well done with this Ipaq.

wireless sdcard drains battery!! AVOID
I just thught people should know- It claims to be expandable with sd cards-while true to an extent. I purchased an expensive sd network card; now i can surf. Only for about ten minutes, because sd cards drain the battery FAST!! Now I wish I had saved up for a Dell Axim which has the network built in. My point is you get what you pay for! I hope this helps you avoid a mistake I made- thought i could save a few bucks (what a dummy don't be fooled I give the 2215 a failing grade)

battery is very bad
This product has one BIG flaw. If the battery goes dead everything is lost. The back up battery does not work. There is no way to protect yourself if you remove the battery unless you back up daily. The battery case opens often and the battery falls out. I have lost data so many times that I am replacing this product. I like all the other features. The battery problem is a deal breaker. ...

I'm surprised by the problems
I've had my 4155 for almost 3 years and am shocked by the screen problems people have commented on here. I've never had any issue with the lcd and have dropped my unit multiple times (this is an understatement since I'm a clutz). It is carried with me and used often thoughout the day. I have no issues with the wifi and really have no complaints. I have not been cautious with the touchscreen and it is scratched in places (different from the lcd breaking) so I would advise anyone who is buying one to use a good screen protector from the beginning. Also, don't let the battery die because it will hard reset and you'll have to put all your programs back on. Best to back it up weekly or so using the backup utility it comes with and putting the backup on a storage card. Good luck with your purchase!

Great Balance of Size and Features
I have owned the iPAQ 4155 for 11 months now (after replacing a 3600 series) and have used it every day since.I can say that it has met or exceeded my expectations in nearly every way.The battery life exceeds 3 days of normal use for me (I haven't seen the battery below about 40 percent even after 3+ days of no charging).The wireless is fairly easy to setup to get on the internet, although I have not found this feature as useful as I thought.More complex wireless operations, like setting up a virtual desktop, are not as straight forward and the entire wireless configuration - asking weather a wireless connection is for "work" or "the internet" - could be simplified (what if it is both?) and have some bugs removed.That being said, I have rarely found the desire/need to get onto a wireless connection once the newness wore off.This may be different if you spend a lot of time at the airport, Starbucks, or other places w/wireless access.The LCD screen is bright and highly visible even in relatively bright light.I have not had a single problem with the LCD screen cracking (and I have owned at least 8 iPAQ's for employees) but I have been careful to protect mine with a metal case such as the one from Innopocket.(The included case does not go too far towards protecting the iPAQ.)Some sort of protective case is vital if you plan to take your iPAQ anywhere at all because the screen is fragile and leaning up against something with it in your pocket will surely crack it if it is not protected. (I have been surprised at the scratches, dings, and warping I have done to the metal case after walking around a jobsite for an hour with my iPAQ in my pocket - but NO damage to the device itself.)One final note: I have not had very much luck at all with "travel sync/chargers" I have purchased which intend to sync and charge the device simultaneously via USB.I have gone back to syncing via infrared (which is pretty straightforward) and charging with the supplied AC charger.
lcd cracked
I advise you don't buy this model. I was given one by my company. I used it briefly, then carefully placed it in it's case in my desk drawer.

Editorial Review

One of the nice things about Windows CE devices is that manufacturers don't have to stick to a specific design. They can make large screens or small screens, add keyboards or rely solely on the touch screen for input, and basically do whatever they want. Hewlett-Packard decided to make a do-anything device when they designed the Jornada 720, and on most counts they have succeeded.Read more

Good memories but you can't go home again
I am on my 2nd Jornada 720; the first one I positively loved, but in the rush to upgrade (and free up some money) I sold it in 2003.
Consider This Before Accepting Negative Reviews
The HP Jornada 720 (the final model of this line was the 728) is the finest, practical design mobile Handheld Computing device ever made. The Jornada rival is the NEC MobilePro 780-800 line. Both clamshell, mini-laptop looking, devices were high quality and expensive (average retail was over $1,000).
Excellent little machine
I bought my Jornada 720 three years ago on ebay for a fraction of the "new" price - and I love this machine.The best thing is instant startup (unlike any laptop, which takes forever to start), and of course its size and battery life (again longer than any laptop).I added a 64MB card, and use another Compact Flash card to store and transfer large files from and to my deskotop. ActiveSync works fine too, but it is slower.

nice pocket pc
This is a really good pocket pc because I can access the internet, do my homework and even type my papers for school. I would recommend you get this because it's a good study tool and a good organizer for teens.

Pass on it
I purchased the RZ1715 about six months ago, and it has already worn out---battery will not take a charge, before that it became unpredictable in its behavior, with a lot of soft reboots. In contrast, my previous PDA---a Toshiba that was awesome---lasted about a year. My first PDA---an inexpensive Palm, purchased simply to see if I would use a PDA---lasted two years. The RZ1715 is so radically limited on memory that "Out of Memory" errors were a daily occurrence; I had 64MB expansion card in it, but it only recognized the card about half of the time. This PDA is simply not built to last.

What I like about my hx4705
This is my fourth Windows PDA, first 3 were from Compaq.
Great spec - expensive, unreliable and no longer made
I've had one for 9 months and it's a great PDA, albeit a bit power hungry for the battery shipped. Love the screen.
Potential not realized
I have had my iPAQ for almost a year and bought it because of positive reviews and the high quality of its screen. I was just told by an "HP repair status specialist" that the motherboard must be replaced and there is no power to the motherboard.I only ever used it to read e-books, run a program called ePocrates - a medication database, play solitaire, and keep up with addresses and phone numbers. I could never get the wireless capability to work.It was reliable for my limited use for about six months and then began it's slow decline.I have updated it, kept "patches" current, and spent about 5 hours of my time with various online and telephone support personnel. I really miss my old Clie.My Dell Axim is also better than the HP. ... Read more

Excellent!
I've had this little bugger for almost a full week now, and I must say, I think it was the best investment I've made concerning tools for my career (freelance writing).The Pocket version of Word is the handiest thing for an English Major on the run.I can work on whatever writing projects I have going, whenever or wherever I have the chance, and it is fully compatible with my Win XP desktop at home.And with it's organizer capabilities, it certainly eliminated a TON of the clutter in my bookbag/purse.(Before, I was carrying a writing notebook, a planner, post-it-notes for the planner, etc etc--now the h1945 has replaced darn near all of it!)
very durable, good value
i have had one of these bad boys for 3 years, i have hard reset it twice and have had no problems with the screen breaking(i dont drop stuff that cost $300[at the time] so there is no problem)
Screens only crack because of STUPID USERS who dont know how to take care of the product, and DROP THEM.

perfect travel companion
I bought one of these about six or seven months ago and liked it so well right away that I bought one for my partner a few months later. We literally live on the road at present and our iPAQs are the most essential item of all. They hold our library of ebooks, our family photo album, our music, writing, check our email, voice recorder, we keep track of dates, appointments, plane and bus reservations and a million other things. They really do it all and the wi fi capability is terrific. I covered the revolution in Nepal on my iPAQ when it was impossible to get anywhere to use the internet. I'd need a suitcase full of stuff and equipment to replace it!
Better than every Palm
This is the third PDA I've owned and couldn't be happier with my choice. My first one was a Zire 73. Never coldnt manage it. SEcond one was an IPAQ 2410. Supreme. but a needed more memory and faster processor
Stellar Performance Outweighs Annoying Glitches

I love this item. It is an easy way to carry around a whole bunch of great systems in one handheld. I recommend this item to anyone that is looking for a great, organized pocket pc.

Increasing power charge time
For those of you experiencing problems with sustaining a power charge...I had the same problem and my iPAQ only held a charge for a few hours, I was always losing data and eventually stopped using the device.I was ready to throw it out and I put it away for serveral months.I decided to give it another try and discovered that by adjusting the "Standby" setting (found under Settings, Power, then click Standby tab) the device now holds a charge for several days depending on usage.The "Standby" setting was set at 100 and I brought that setting down to 25.Give it a try before you give up on your iPAQ!

Reliable when new...not so after a few years
I bought my 3900 series Ipaq brand new (not refurbished).It has worked GREAT for the first 2 years.During the 3rd year, the battery started dying.I sent it back to have the battery replaced and have had trouble ever since.I do not believe at this time that the battery was ever bad.I believe there is an internal problem that makes this unit "think" that the battery isn't charged, or that really drains the battery power quickly.After charging the unit to 100% charged at midnight, I have gone back at 8am to find the battery completely dead.For the first few times, the data could be recovered.After that, I had to keep restoring the data in order to use it.Interestingly, I pulled the unit off the charger at 80% as I didn't have time to let it charge.That time it lasted for 4 days without problems.I have heard this complaint from all the 3800 and 3900 series owners that I know.If you want to buy this unit, it's great as long as you can charge it often.Otherwise, be prepared to buy another one after a few years (new) or a few months (used/refurbished).
Power issues
I have had my 3955 for only 16 months of relatively light usage (I do not even use it every day, as I quickly learned how rapidly the unit burns through a charge).Now, for no apparent reason, the internal battery will not hold a charge . . . fully charged off the docking station, the unit is fully discharged (and all my data and settings gone!) less than 24 hours later after the unit has not been used at all!For this kind of money, I would expect better battery life and the ability to self-install a new battery, rather than having to send the unit in for service.I will probably not purchase another iPaq unless these issues are addressed by HP. ...

Good, but can do with more enhancements
I've had this PDA for 6 months and it's been very useful in most cases.My one big complaint is that you cannot use a bluetooth cordless headset to listen to mp3 music/audio.This is something HP needs to upgrade.I would rather not have to switch to a corded headset just to listen to music.

some recommendations after using it 1 year
I bought this unit one year ago, and I love it.I have some recommendations about ways to take the best of it:
Really good, haven'tfound the perfect PDA yet, but close
If it could do more screens in landscape, especially the internet, it would be a a 10 (out of 5 starts. I like the combination of a useable keyboard and stylus, the battery ife is very long. I don't need a camera. The screen can always be bigger and better, but I was happy with it for business and intrenet use, I'd still have it someone didn'swipe it. I'm likely to buy another one.

Piece of junk at a very high price
My company paid for one of these units for me.I hadn't really used PDAs before but knew of some friends who used them and liked them.
AMAZING!
Okay now, here's the background:
HP Ipaq 5555
I have owned the Ipaq 5555 for a year.My review is far from positive. The unit has glitzy features but many disappointments.Battery life is not long enough for practical professional use. Handwriting recognition is about 90% at best and usually less.The unit has a slippery exterior that should be kept in a case; a poor engineering design , unless they want one to drop it.

A versatile pocket computer
I have had an HP 2415 for a year.First the bad news - the battery will drain if it is docked and no power is turned on - despite being set to go to sleep when powered. I have had to reload software 10 times because of this flaw.
Battery Problems - Lost all data
This is my 4th PDA, and I have had it for about a year now. My first 2 was Palm devices - first a Palm IIIx and then a Vx. I loved the Vx for its small size, but after it died, I decided to go with a PocketPC for some of the features it offered. I got an iPAQ 3955 which I like alot, but the size was hard to get used to after the Vx. I still used it pretty heavily, and after 2 years I found I needed a device with built in WiFi, as the PPC2003 upgrade wouldn't let me use my WiFI card anymore. So last February I upgraded to the 2415. I liked the smaller size of the unit over the 3955, and it functioned well at first. However, in the past few months, I found there are times I try to turn the unit on, and nothing happens. Apparently, the battery will run down while it is off, and after charging, it is back to factory settings, having lost all applications and records. Even though there is a backup battery in it, it doesn't seem to have done anything to maintain my data. This has happened a few times in the past several weeks to the point where it has been too much of a hassle to keep reinstalling the applications (and digging out reg. codes to reregister the programs). I have found that I barely use it anymore, but not for a lack of wanting to use a PDA. I'd rate this at 2.5 stars since it functioned well for a while, and only recently became virtually useless. I am now looking at going back to a Palm device if I can find one that suits my needs.

Cheap, easy... Multi-purpose wonder
This PDA is great.The small size allows it to fit in my pocket where I can play music off a storage card while I am biking.The processor is adequate enough for relatively intense games.The battery life is pretty long, I can listen to music for hours (beware of backlight, though.)It has everything you'll need: all apps in pocket windows (also Resco Explorer), recorder, speaker, bright screen, infrared...It doesn't have wireless or bluetooth though.The only annoyances are an audio jack that does not comply with the standard audio plug, you have to carry a mini-converter.Also the charger is inconvenient; there's no dock, and it doesn't fit well into the PDA.
I've also had mine for about 2 years...
I have had very few problems with my 1935.It needs the occasional soft reset, but that may be attributed to the PIM and Today plug-in I downloaded.The screen on mine has stayed in great shape, and I let my 4 year old "draw" in the notes area!!(And, yes, she has dropped it without the screen shattering!)Would recommend to anyone who needs a great organizer without wireless capability.

I've been using mine for a couple of years now
No problems with it. I've dropped it several times, with and without its case on, and nothing has broken. I use it every day, and didn't use a screen protector for about 8 months.

WITHOUT UPGRADE
A few days ago I asked HP the upgrade to Pocket Windows 2003 for my Jornada 565, bought at Amazon on May 30, 2002. They answered they are not planning to give any upgrade to Jornadas because Compaq IPacs are now the mainstream line of pocket PCs from HP. A year after the purchase I have an obsolete tool and I think this is very unfair for HP customers.

WITHOUT UPGRADE
Hewlett-Packard support have just tell me that they will not upgrade any Jornada to Pocket PC 2003 operating system, and they will only support Compaq I-Pac as HP I-Pac mainstream Pocket PCs. I bought in Amazon a Jornada 565 in May 2002, and now I have an obsolete tool. I think this is very unfair. I have invested ... in the Jornada 565 and Hewlett-Packard forgets his customers to only give upgrades to Compaq customers. If you are thinking about buying an HP product, think twice: maybe they are thinking to merge with anybody else and live you without support.

King of the PDA
Ever since I bought my 565 I have loved it. It has been my trusted companion. It also makes a supperior MP3 Player, as it syncs well with Windows Media Player on my PC. It also is the perfect medium to write letters (Pocket Word), Manage your money and investment (MS Money for PPC), The best universal remote(TV Remote), and a better note taker that a giant Tablet PC. And it has a wonderfull hard cover to protect the screen. Despite loving it so much, It is impossable to find parts for it in Canada. Since it is discontinued you can not get a replacement stylus, or assesories. And I've had to get the screen replaced once, and the second time is comming soon. And the dust is impossable to get out. ... Read more

what junk
I write under very special conditions. I was using a palm with a keyboard, but I found it not to be powerful enough. A laptop was too heavy, the battery life was miserable, and it took forever to turn on. I found a jornada on Ebay. It is a piece of junk! They get constant memory losses, and it took a week for the screen to fall right off its hinges. I got another and it was wiped with the most crucial information of my life. Like you I read negative revues and gave it the benefit of the doubt(after all I love all electronics), but heed my warning STAND CLEAR.

I like It!
