Incredible
Review of HP Jornada 820 by dave27

Advantages: Very flexible, fairly powerful, labour saving
Disadvantages: Internet access a bit tricky, Access doesn't work

...things. The only way that HP could address this, however, is by making the machine bigger or allowing for a plug in keyboard, and neither of those are particularly attractive options as they’ll cut down the mobility which is the keynote of the Jornada. I’ll continue to put up with the odd typo in order to keep the dimensions and weight, thank you very much. When typing, I’ve also found that unless I’ve got the Jornada on a ...
...from Windows Explorer, Recycle Bin, HP Dialup, Windows Media Player, Inbox, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Pocket Word, Pocket Excel, Pocket Access, Pocket Powerpoint, HP viewer and OmniSolve (a scientific calculator) all installed on the desktop with some other programs hidden away under the 'Start’ tab. I’ve not needed anything else to date apart from the ActiveSync function. This allows you to connect your Jornada to up to two different ... Read review

Superb bit of kit
Review of HP Jornada 680 by dave27

Advantages: Portable, synchronisation, screen, has a keyboard, good internet connectivity
Disadvantages: Keyboard a bit small

...FIND THE CATEGORY The HP Jornada is one smart bit of kit - a PDA or palm top, I guess, you'd call it. I got one about a month ago at work and it was a straight choice for me between this and a Palm, but in the end the internet connectivity and the keyboard were what drove me to choose the Jornada and I've not been disappointed. The keyboard is a bit fiddly and my big fingers sometimes get the top two rows of keys mixed up. Also the set does have ...
...top half with the monitor open too far. Those gripes aside, however, I've been very impressed. The major use I've found for the Jornada is keeping my home PC and my work machine synchronised. Once you've got the synchronisation software and processing set up it's an absolute dream - the first time I set it up at home though I forgot to reboot my desktop PC after connecting the Jornada and I was pulling my hair out because I couldn't get the link ...

Now past its best
Review of HP Jornada 690 by dave27

Advantages: Annoys the neighbours
Disadvantages: Unreliable and bulky

The HP Jornada is one smart bit of kit - a PDA or palm top, I guess, you'd call it. I've been using one for about three or four years now, through my job. Most people I know who have opted for handheld or palm tops have opted for iPaqs, and they certainly are nice swish little beasties and eminently cooler than the Jornada series which look quite bulky and old fashioned these days. However, I need to have a machine with a keyboard for my particular ...
...recognition and never really quite made it. That said, there is really no other choice but to get a Hewlett Packard Jornada, as it's a decent compromise between the powerful and the compact. The keyboard is very small and fiddly and it's easy to miss keying in so I wouldn't advise you to use this for a lot of keying in. However, for most uses it's easy enough as long as you take your time. Also, the box isn't very well weighted and does have a nasty ... Read review

An honest XDA Orbit review!!
Review of O2 Xda Orbit by ankitm

Advantages: Loads of Features in a not so thick mobile
Disadvantages: No 3G and could have been faster

...had come with a Windows Mobile 5 built in but the O2 support website offered an upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 which was easily accessible and download able from the company's website itself. Also synchronization with PC was easy. Just to conclude am very happy and satisfied with the phone. ... Read review

Review for Treo 650 limited edition
Review of Palm Treo 650 by harrisonshi

Advantages: Good performance, PDA phone, good battery life, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Lousy VGA camera, a bit heavy

...free resource to install in Palm OS, e.g. dict, games, movie players, file readers. There is also some very good e-books and softwares which you can buy online. Normally I use the phone as a MP3 player, or a digital file reader and a game player when I was in Bus and subway. It also can turns into a GPS with a additional gps receiver if you drive a car. It can also browers internet with a SD wireless card, so you can check your emails but I didnot ... Read review
