When I bought this for just over £110, I was a little nervous that maybe it was something that was not up to the job, not the functions I was looking for , a glorified calculater .
It's got infrared, but no bluetooth. But I suppose at that price, and it is from HP with an IPAQ badge so what the heck.

When I switch it on, I found a high quality display, with pocket pc 2003 installed, which is fully compatible with my desktop. Once I had sync'd with outlook, downloaded all my business and personal contacts, my calender and a couple of family photos the 32Mb was getting rarther full, so I went out and bought 128Mb SD card which took care of that problem.
Gadget man that I am, I also bought an SD WiFi card, (don't really have the patience for Infrared). Connects well to my wireless router in the house, and the office wireless network. Only problem you can't use the memory card and the WiFi card at the same time, but fine for picking up the odd email, or checking the news on the web, One thing about using the WiFi card it quickly drains the battery. Having said that with average normal use with the mem card in I got 4-5 days out of the battery before recharge required.

One thing to say, if you you are like me and carry you PDA in pocket most of the time I would invest in a carry pouch and a screen protecter these can be picked up for a few pounds .

Overall for the money good value, okay some of the things you get on more expensive models are missing, but for the personal user good stuff, well done HP

for someone in the IT industry you've left suprisingly little detail about the product.
