Compaq iPAQ H3650 Pocket PC

Pros: Amazing screen, good audio capabilities, and solid applications.
Cons: Still cumbersome data entry, expensive, "1.0" product.

If I were allowed to, I'd give the iPaq 3.5 stars. To avoid rating inflation, I'm truncating it to 3.

You might notice that the iPaq has been generating many positive reviews; for example, PC Magazine recently gave the iPaq its Editor's Choice...

Pros: Very slick, loads features
Cons: Not a PDA

I got my iPaq about 2 months ago and have been using it every day, however sadly we are going to part company and I am going back to my Palm V.

I would love to love the iPaq, but I don't. Not because of features, it really does have...

Pros: Fast, fun, stable.
Cons: Too-flashy design, limited colors, bulky.

iPAQ 3650 Makes Work Fun.

MY PROBLEM: I’m constantly switching my methods of organization. I'll use a Franklin Planner for a few months, then a Palm V, then a spiral bound notebook. I bemoaned being unable to stick with one system until I read...

Pros: Bright Screen, expansion capabilities, good sync with Outlook
Cons: Slippery, very easy to drop, short battery life, Pocket PC OS

Having been a Palm user for a little over a year, I was required to switch to the Compaq Ipaq for work purposes. First of all, I'm not one of those "platform bigots". I like whatever works best for me. The iPaq falls short in a number of areas. However,...

Pros: Amazing color screen! Plays MP3s LOUD SPEAKER! Pocket Word! USB cradle! Synchronizes with Outlook!
Cons: Bad character recognization. PCMCIA expansion makes it HUGE! Difficult to seat in cradle.

Halo!
Okay .. I recieved this PDA from my work. I am a computer technician and our customers have a variety of PC's, laptops and handhelds, now including IPAQ's.
I had purchased a Palm VII when it was only available in the tri-state area of...

Pros: Versatility, endless features.
Cons: Availability, price.

The IPAQ 3650 is by far the best PDA on the market. This piece of equipment is absolutely unbelievable. The screen and functions are very nice.

The IPAQ comes with 32meg of memory and a Windows CE operating system. There is an onboard...

Pros: Features
Cons: Cons

I want to start off comments regarding the iPAQ 3600 series with a note that there is no difference in the technical spec/performance of the iPAQ 3630 and 3650. The difference is that the 3630 model is available through RadioShack, which has a...

Pros: Fast,Colorful,Easy,Intuitive,Easily Expandable,Meets a Salesman's every data need.
Cons: Expensive...but worth it

A friend recently convinced me to go digital for all may planning needs. The rationale was that if I lost my beloved franklin planner, suicide would be the only reasonable and honorable option for me.

I knew NOTHING about PDA's so I went...

Pros: Color screen, handwriting recognition
Cons: Battery life, size

Being a bit of a gadget geek, I have carried a PDA for many years. Until recently, that PDA had always been a Palm. Not only have I been customer of Palm, I have also been an ardent supporter of their products. I never shied away from the chance to...

Pros: Speed, display and storage possibilities
Cons: Lack of expansion cards at this time

I admit it, I love gadgets! And I am the type of person who cannot resist a good deal. Because of these traits I am a very happy owner of a Compaq iPaq.

I have owned and used the primitive Sharp organizers, the Avigo, the Palm IIIx, and the...

Pros: Beautiful Color Reflective LCD Screen, Plays MP3s, 32 MB RAM, Lots of Apps
Cons: Expensive, somewhat heavy

I recently got a shipment of Compaq iPaq H3650 PocketPCs from Microsoft for evaluation, and I nearly ditched my Palm V after getting the chance to play with these marvelous toys. The iPaq is arguably the best PDA that's currently on the market today,...

Pros: The best one on the market, feature rich and worth every penny.
Cons: Quality control not the best and support in UK a bit flakey

My whole team got one of these 3-4 months ago, as part of a drive to improve efficiency and to help us work smarter.
Verdict - Virtually complete success.
Linked to a desktop machine this baby gives you everything that MS Office gives you but...

Pros: Does more than any PDA I've seen
Cons: Minor problem with headphone jack

I had a Handspring Visor Prism for about 4 months and was fairly happy with it, but found that it had some limitations and did not like having to learn writing in Graffiti. After trying out a Compaq 3630 a colleague had bought, I sold the Handspring and...

Pros: Nice Hype and look
Cons: Very impractical!

After looking to update my Handspring Visor to a sleeker, a bit smaller device, I took hold of an iPaq and returned it less than a month later. They tried to curve the edges and make it fit your hand when in actuality it was horrible awkward and it felt...

Pros: Speed; Daylight Viewability; Size; Expansion Capabilities
Cons: No Built-In CF Slot; Color Depth @ 12-Bit Only

I've owned Apple Newton MessagePads 120 to 2100, a variety of Sharp Wizards, the short-lived Sony MagicLink, the sleek Psions, Palm Pro and V, and a slew of Windows CE devices from 1.0 to PocketPCs. Needless to say, I really love mobile computers. The...
