I only bought it for the GPS, but I'm starting to regret
Pros: GPS, qwerty keyboard
Cons: Too many to mention here
While the GPS is the only feature I fancy, the rest of the phone is pretty much crap.
The headset jack was spoilt within the first 3 months. With it's square screen, many software aren't compatible with it (even if it's compatible with the OS). Besides, the more software I installed, the more unstable it became. Eventually, i did a hard reset and didn't install anything extra. Even so, it still resets itself every once in awhile. The QWERTY keyboard, while it's a good addition, started to get unsensitive 6 months back. now i have to write everything on the lcd using the stylus. irritating.
Man... I think I shall be going back to the traditional handphones.

worked good at first... now a POS.
Pros: gps/wifi and big screen
Cons: bluetooth compatibility, memory leaks, crashing the list goes on.
Bluetooth seems to have trouble holding its connection. It will connection from the device and then you have to restart the phone (btw it takes 2-3 minutes to fully restart!) My old PC starts faster!
Its had GPS a few times too but nothing crazy. And now its starting to drop calls. I am gonna drop this phone like its hot!
dont waste your time or money.

Just fracking awesome
Pros: EDGE, WIFI, GPS and fast processor
Cons: Windows Mobile 5
I would recommend this if you use GPS, EMail, and other productivity apps. If you are a infrequent user, the interface will feel daunting - (silly WM5 though its much better than 2003)

Do Not Buy It. You will be sorry...It's a very slow PDA. Invest your money somewhere else
Pros: GPS, windows mobile 2005 and QWERTY key board.
Cons: Ver Slow. HP couldn't fix buzzing noise issue. HP's service is very slow.
Right out of the box, the PDA had noise issue. When I use PDA's built-in speaker to make calls, it has buzzing noise. I called HP and after 45 minutes of wait time, a rep came on the phone. I was told that I have to send it for repairs to them. No advance exchange like Cingular would do with it?s PDA phones
The first time around the box to send the phone back was never received. I had to call again and wait again for 30 minutes for HP rep to come on line. This time the box did arrive and I sent the Ipaq back.
I received the "repaired" Ipaq back in 3 days which was amazing. There was a note included with Ipaq which stated that HP changed the motherboard on the Ipaq. But I guess they never tested the Ipaq after changing the motherboard because the buzzing noise was still there. I called again, wait for another 20 minutes and now HP is going to send me a box one more time to repair the phone.
About the PDA, it's a very slow PDA. Most of the time, the PDA starts doing some background processing, even if I am not using it. The PDA cannot be used until the background process is finished. Another issue right of the box I have encountered is that the PDA is unable to answer calls most of the time. The phone rings and I press Answer button and the call won't be answered. The phone keeps on ringing until voice mail is takes over the call. That?s a major issue. The GPS works good but it takes a long time (some times more then 10 minutes) to get a fix on satellites.
I wish I had purchased this phone directly from Cingular. At least I would have been able to exchange it over the counter and/or return it. I would have not been stuck with it. So, if you are planning on buy it, do yourself a favor and don?t buy it. If you are still intent on buying it, then buy it from Cingular. At least you will be able to exchange/return it if you didn?t like it.
