HP iPAQ rz1710 Pocket PC (Silver & Black)

The thing tha attracted me to the 4150 initially was the presence of 802.1b compatibility allowing me to use it round the house and still access the Net. This works fine and virtually transparently - no more worries about being tied to one of the PCs :-). However, the most remarkable thing abot this PDA is its size and weight - these are sold on the basis of being pocket machines and while my older ipaq fit OK in a coat pocket, it was a trifle too heavy and large to be comfortable in a shirt pocket. However, with this one, I am constantly haviing to pat the pocket to reassure myself that I haven't lost it :-).As well as WiFi, you also get Bluetooth to connect to other devices and there's an IrDA port. The companion disk comes with a printer driver for this to let you print directly to a suitibly equipped printer.If you haven't already got it, there's a copy of Outlook with which this device synchronbises and you can set up partnerships between upto two PCs and the PDA.

I am not a high flyer, nor am I somebody with an overly hectic lifestyle. I am just an average person who just wanted to get organised and to have a tool that would do that for me. Out of many of the PDAs available on the market this is one of the cheapest, and as such I was worried that it would compromise on quality/content. It certainly does not.Whilst carrying all the benefits of an organiser; diary, contacts list, note-pad, it also keeps your interests mobile. Since having bought this I have not once forgotten things at the supermarket, never forgotten to get a friend's birthday card, in fact it has seen that I am not wasting time or rushing around trying to sort last minute things.The device itself is quite small, light and thin. Perhaps the size of a CD case split in half. In terms of content and quality this is the best.

I'm not normally one for writing reviews (this is my first) but I thought I'd post one for my PDA. I bought this model about 6 months ago and haven't looked back since. It synchronises with my computer, allowing me to carry around my diary, all my contacts (too many to include in my mobile phone) and all my important documents.The real bonus though is the ease of downloading other programs onto this. I've downloaded maps of London using [...] games using [...] and even software to load full movies onto my PDA. I've got pictures of my family (taken with a digital camera, not with the camera supplied), microsoft money files to handle my finances, e-books, tube maps, etc. Even now, I feel like I'm only scratching the surface of its capabilities.I've been really happy with my purchase, and would definately buy HP again.

I loved this item although it was stolen from me and I just couldn't afford to replace it. .Boo Hoo.

Just the job, does what it says on the box

Total bulls***

The thing I love about the Ipaq is how smooth it is and easy to use. It just seems to follow a commen sense approach, this might seem a stupid thing to say but how often do we throw things to one side in disgust because it just does not make sense. I also got the Tom Tom "sat nav" bought for me along with this system and the two work like a dream together. I am neither a high flyer nor a massive traveller. I am but an ordinary working wife who has already found the benefits of a geat bit of kit the Ipaq helps me plan and organise both at home and work and the Satellite Navigation means I can safely travel with confidence and we can take the family places we might not have tried before as it takes you literally to the door.

I bought this PDA from [...] for £251 inc. VAT and Delivery. It is also available at [...] for a similar price, [...] and finally [...]I have pointed this fact out to Amazon but they refuse to change their price so I have been forced to do this! I love Amazon but the world must know this is available £150 cheaper elsewhere.
