Advantages: WiFi, BlueTooth, Fingerprint Scanner, Screen Brightness and Resolution Disadvantages: Can sometimes be too complicated, Battery Life
...have to go to the HP COMPAQ customer support forums to see that. Basically it just doesn't work!!! And HP are not really doing anything about it.
I can recieve a signal on my PDA from my router but that's about it!! It won't let me surf the net, send emails or use msn messenger at all, and every owner of one of these PDAs has exactly the same problem. I have downloaded countless patches to try and solve this problem and been on coutless websites ... ...used because I have no use for it now.
The WLAN is complicated to use and when activated the battery life is near non-existent. The instruction manual also hardly helps you at all.
Too complicated and doesn't work - 2/10
***FINGERPRINT SCANNER***
This is cool. Another great feature that amazes your friends and gives you street cred!

Advantages: Wifi, Bluetooth, Security features Disadvantages: Uses RAM too fast, battery life
...of a previous model, the HP iPAQ H5550 (read my review). The unit fairs well with those of you who like to travel, the incorparated Wifi, enables the user, if required, to connect to the internet or a wireless LAN while drinking a coffee at the local Starbucks, where Wifi stations are mostly found.

Although everyone knows how equipment, especially scanners has a tendancy to fail, but in saying this the model i tried had a 9/10 success rate involving the scanner. It's just a little ...
