HP iPAQ Pocket PC H2210

...what. Step forward my HP iPaq 2210 PDA (that's Personal Digital Assistant, if you didn't know). The HP iPaq 2210 is a little outdated (by way of it's replacement - the hx2000 series) at the time of writing, but that doesn't mean that you can't pick a bargain up if you manage to track one down. Mine was a gift, but a search on eBay flagged a few up around the £130-£150 mark (correct as of 01-07-05). ~ Looks: A sleek brushed aluminium case, with ...
...spring-clips for the stylus, but HP have discontinued this (to the annoyance of earlier Compaq PDA users, I found). I have no problems with the storage as it is - it's neat and tucked out of the way. ~ Setup / First Use: This was incredibly simple. The unit came preloaded with Windows Pocket PC 2003, and to get up and running I merely had to plug the cradle in (my HP2210 came with a docking cradle and cable which connected to my PC via the USB ...

Review of HP iPAQ Pocket PC H2210

The 2210 pocket PC comes with stacks of software already loaded including pocket versions of Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, Appointment manager, contacts list, notepad, calculator, Active Sync, backup, Image viewer, messenger, Microsoft reader, Windows media player, Bluetooth manager and Nevo (universal remote control), Solitaire and Jawbreaker. If the software application that you require is not already loaded onto your Pocket PC, I am sure that ...

The 2210 is supplied with a rechargeable battery, USB cradle, mains charger, software CD and a protective case. A short printed user guide is included but most of the documentation is supplied in Adobe Acrobat format on the CD. The Pocket PC has a power button, four hardware buttons and a directional ...

Review of HP iPAQ Pocket PC H2210

...that of the Nokia 6820, HP offered a beta patch to get around the problem so I installed it and it works fine now. Within a few weeks of me getting my PDA, a lot of my friends thought how good it was and some of them decided to get one as well. We all found a good program on the net that allows you to have a chat room via Bluetooth which was very handy if you needed to communicate when we were in different rooms. (Search Google for 'Pocket PC Bluetooth ...
...Side grips are an issue. HP have really let themselves down when it comes to the side grips on this iPaq. After about 3 months, the rubber surface starts to peel off at the edges, but HP have realised that this is a problem and if you just send them an email they are happy to send you a replacement set free of charge. It also makes a very good games machine, a quick hunt on pocketgear.com will end you up with a great variety of games, such as; Myst, ...

With a processor speed of 400Mhz it is fast compared to others in its price range but obviously pales in copmarison wih much faster desktops so downloading large files such as music files can take a while. The memory is of standard size for similar models and 64mb would easily suit anybody who wanted ...

Review of HP iPAQ Pocket PC H2210

I remember when HP'S IPAQ series was introduced, back in April 2000. I thought, Why buy one now? If I wait a few years they'll release superior models, packed with dozens more features. Although technolagy does and allways will improve every day, now is the time to make an investment. Whilst a lot of PDA's in the market are hideously ugly, the design of the H2210 is nothing short of outstanding, it's a very small and slim device, it has grip on each ...
...the saying, "Never judge a book by its cover" because it's appearance is nothing compared to the pda itself. After a day with my H2210, I realised... why would anyone want to buy an mp3 player, or a portable dvd player when you can buy one of these. I loaded an episode of the Simpsons onto a compact flash disk, and played it with my H2210. It was very smooth, and the video & audio quality was outstanding. I also tried playing a few MP3's.. they ...

Review of HP iPAQ Pocket PC H2210

I got my shiny new ipaq for a bit of work and a bit of play. since setting up with my gprs mobile and a bluetooth dongle on my pc i can do the following: Work on documents and spreadsheets. Send and receive email using my mobile Browse the web and play media content into my hifi using the local bluetooth network. Keep track of my expenses for different clients. Keep track of all my appointments and make sure i never get double booked again. ...

A suitable adapter can be purchased for around £40 although the wi-fi equipped ipaq 4150 can be bought for a similar increase. There is a wide range of software both free and not, available on the web for pocket PCs. I have everything from arcade games to astronomy ...

Review of HP iPAQ Pocket PC H2210

...I decided to purchase the HP iPAQ 2210 (with more than a little help from Ciao) and I am delighted with my choice. The first thing that is immediately noticeable when opening the box is that everything you need is right there - the unit, the desktop USB cradle, the charger (with an adapter to allow it to be used independently of the cradle) and even a protective carry case. This elimates the nasty surprise of having to buy extra accessories as often ...
...The unit itself is a treat to behold, the green eyed envy of several of my colleagues bears testiment to this, and delivers form and function in equal measures to provide an absolute gem which snugly fits into your inside suit pocket. The large, bright screen is a pleasure to look at and the familiar windows logo in the top left hand corner sets you at ease immediately. Having used the Psion (including it's 'unique' PC connectivity software for ...

...available from independent developers online. HP could include some software that would make this easier. On the topic of battery life very few people will have problems. When watching contsant movies the battery life is roughly 4 - 4.5 hours. Adding extra features will shorten battery life but not by a huge amount. My wifi card knocks a 2 or 3 hours off of battery life if you're constantly web surfing. Now for some downsides. The device comes with ...
...internal memory, this makes a storage card a must for nearly any user. The button programming feature is useful but not very effective, as simple assignments such as volume control are not possible. There are newer palmtops with more built in features such as wifi or a camera, however with dual expansion slots any of these extras can be added easily. For the price you'll pay which is around £200 it's a bargain. ...

Right on top of the h2210, you will find the microphone and the headphones slot (the standard 3.5 mm) to the left side. The stylus silo is on the right of the unit and is not spring-activated as with the Compaq iPAQs. At the back of this PDA you have the battery cover for your removable battery; it uses 3.7V 900mAh rechargeable ...

...lines and the fact that HP / Compaq have been making these much longer than Dell, eventually persuaded me to go iPAQ. The display is bright in most conditions and the sound is good from the built in speaker and excellent through headphones. The iPAQ 2210 comes with 64Mb RAM and 32Mb ROM, as opposed to the 64/48 configuration of the Dell Axim X5. This means that if power is lost for any length of time, files saves to RAM are lost. Howeve ROM memory ...
...as the rest is given over to the operating system. Another main reason for this purchase was that my MP3 played had given out on the battery hatch so I bought this and a 512Mb CF (Compact Flash) memory card to store MP3s. The iPAQ 210 features Windows Mobile 2003 (also know as Pocket PC 2003) software. The usual Pocket PC versions of Word, Excel and Outlook are included, as well as Universal Remote Control software for those times when you lose ...

Review of HP iPAQ Pocket PC H2210

I`ve owned my HP 2210 for over a year now and I must say I`m very impressed by this little gagdet. It feels well built and has an excellent screen. The unit has two memory card slots, one will take SD cards and the other will take Compact flash type 1 and type 2 cards, so you should be able to find a card to fit it pretty easily!!, I would suggest just going for the cheapest at the time, and that seems to be CF at the moment. The software included ...
...player to keep you happy, HP also bundle NeVo to control your TV (and anything else with IR control), which I find works very nicely. Bluetooth works well and syncs well with my PC and Mobile phone. The only gripe I have is with the side grips,....they are USELESS, it took about 4 months before they completly disintegrated and fell off. Instead I purchased a nice anodized aluminium set from www.expansys.com, which screw to the unit, they were quite ...

...model stand out from other HP PDA's in my opinion is the Compact Flash expansion slot, which enables far greater flexibility with add-ons. Also if you happen to own another compact flash device you already have extra memory, and you are able access photo or music files on these CF cards on the PDA. I have found that the processor is very capable of dealing with demanding applications and rich 3D graphics, and there is adequate built-in memory for ...

In conclusion it is a very good PDA, from a very good manufacturer, at a very good price. ...
