A PC That Fits In Your Hand!
Review of HP iPAQ 214 Enterprise Handheld by
Surj1
Advantages: Microsoft Office Mobile, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth & 624MHz Processor
Disadvantages: Small Main Memory
The HP iPAQ 214 Enterprise Handheld is an advanced piece of kit which you can comfortably take with you anywhere you go, almost like a mini laptop! It actually runs on a 624MHz processor, I remember my first ever PC which was 133MHz, that really does put things in perspective.
The design is very sophisticated with a nice 4 inch TFT touch screen display which is an improvement from HP's previous iPAQ's. It has many I/O for headphones, microphone, ...

Gothting
Advantages: Size, Functions, Comfort (both viewing and using)
Disadvantages: Its nothing New its just really good at what it is
Loving the 214, simple interface, elegant and its a really nice size, i dont need a phone or a camra i have one allready. I want a PDA with a large clear screen, wirless and bluetooth, and have expandable memory. Simple answer its ticks all the boxes.
Ok maby it would be nice to have a manual in the box with more indepth infomation. but thats no technically a fault with the Item.
I think my only main fault with the item is the lack of more programable ...

HP iPaq Enterprise Handheld
Review of HP iPAQ 214 Enterprise Handheld by
John369
Advantages: Easy to use.
Disadvantages: None yet. Will update.
I have just joined Ciao community to put the record straight on this PDA. A previous Ciao reviewer has given a negative review. I have only owned the PDA (HP iPaq 214 Enterprise Handheld) for two days. I believe I was one of the first in the UK to receive this machine as it became available from 25th January 2008. I was almost put off buying the iPaq by the other review here, but decided to give it a try. I am glad, as the PDA does everything a PDA ...

Quick review of HP iPAQ 214 Enterprise Handheld
Review of HP iPAQ 214 Enterprise Handheld by
sciguy
I got the HP214 after my Hx4700 fell apart. It is working great. I agree with the previous reviewer. Basically, if you want a tiny screened phone, buy one! if you want something that works well with MS Office, plays films on a decent sized screen, has a multiple of ports, can use Skype and is very fast, this is the one for you.
Pros: Base on HP 214 and HX4700 the build quality is much better.
The battery life is longer (2200 mAh compared to 1800 mAh).
WM6 saves Office documents as Ofice documents- no conversion needed.
Cons: Doesn't come with any backup software, so buy some with your free points.

Quick review of HP iPAQ 214 Enterprise Handheld
Review of HP iPAQ 214 Enterprise Handheld by
stellastar4
I received the iPAQ 214 Enterprise last week. I have to say that as a seasoned PDA user, this is the real deal. It has a large clear screen making it easier to view apps, read and write emails and even play games. Like other iPAQ models it comes with both SD and CF card expansion possibilities, making it possible to add even programs. The larger screen probably does effect the battery life which when fully charged lasts me around 4 hours. It's a great device for those who want to keep a PDA seperate from a mobile. Unlike the 1st review mentioned, there is no camera. It is a good PDA and a great business tool. A worthy release by HP.

Review of HP iPAQ 214 Enterprise Handheld by

Good size screen with excellent handwriting recognition. Battery life is reasonable if battery save features are on. Works well with ActiveSync. Using and editing documents in Word is easy with clear navigation to and from all documents. No problems with wireless connectivity. Bluetooth seems a bit footery and it is a little slow sometimes to start - a few seconds slower than instant. Only downside here is the price! (depends on where you buy it). I love mine!

IPAQ 214 - Good product let down by poor reliability
Review of HP iPAQ 214 Enterprise Handheld by
lpman
Advantages: Ease of use
Disadvantages: Reliability and customer service
...the base of the IPAQ. HP "service" say I have made a mistake and want to charge me over £100 to repair the unit. They are not listening to customers who know there is a genuine issue with the equipment. A pity because in all other respects, the IPAQ fully satisfied my requirements, was easy to set up and use and promised to be a useful piece of equipment. I can still use it but only with the USB charging facility which is very slow and requires computer ...

Review of HP iPAQ 214 Enterprise Handheld by
thelokust23
Advantages: stylish, good OS
Disadvantages: pricey, under-developed, out of date, slow
I have owned this PDA via my business for a couple of months now and I will soon be sending it back....
The major flaw with not just this PDA but any is that my Nokia N95 does more!! At up to 250 GBP, is it worth it??

Quick review of HP iPAQ 214 Enterprise Handheld
Review of HP iPAQ 214 Enterprise Handheld by
brendan142
Overall I am impressed with this iPAQ. There is one thing I am not certain about however, maybe it is specific to my one. The touch screen needs to be pressed hard by the stylus in some parts before it responds. Previously I had a Dell Axim, and the Axim screen was very responsive to the slightest touch.
I am wondering if anyone else noticed this or have I purchased a faulty unit? Also response seems slower than I would expect at times.
