| boughtall's Full Review: Hewlett Packard iPAQ H4350 Pocket PC |
This HP handheld was made for the business user. The array of features makes this perfect for the professional in need of a great pocket PC. The keyboard allows for easy entry of data and the high capacity of memory ensures that you can enter as much as you want. The system is not for complete beginners and will require some getting used to the operating and functions, but you will not be disappointed. Just as long as you do not mind a bit larger unit, you will adore your new HP H4350.

Design
The design of the HP H4350 is great because of the new keyboard that is attached to the bottom. This allows for quick entry of data into your pocket PC. Even though this does make this unit a bit larger than most other pocket PCs it still remains compact enough to fit into your pocket. The device is fairly light and thin as well. There is a headphone jack and SDIO expansion slot on the bottom of the keyboard. To navigate through the device there is a navigation button, which allows one to easily navigate through the programs and files.
Display
The display on this device is vibrant and bright. There are over 65,000 colors on the display and the resolution is excellent. You are able to view the display both indoors and outdoors because of the screen, reducing glare. This makes for an easy time in viewing your screen outdoors. All in all you will be fairly pleased with the display of the HP H4350.
Battery
The battery life on this handheld is excellent compared to others in its category. You will get over 5 hours of solid use with this, which is great, compared to other models. The battery is charged in its cradle and other batteries may be purchased as well. A great feature of the cradle is that you are able to charge an extra battery at the same time the handheld is charging. Both these batteries will make sure that you do not run out of power on those long workdays.
Software
The included software package has enough programs for most people. Included are the normal Microsoft pocket applications like word, excel, etc. as well as an array of include programs from HP for image viewing, managing bluetooth, backing up files, as well as other things. This makes for a complete program set that will allow you to use this device for all of your business needs. You are also able to send and receive email with the included pocket outlook. All you need to do is setup your account and your ready to send and receive e-mail. The software package is what you would expect from this type of pocket PC.
My Recommendation
This is a complete business ready pocket PC. I highly recommend it over others in its category like the Toshiba e330 and others like it. If you prefer a device which runs on Palm OS see my review of the Palm Zire 72. You will love this pocket PC if you need something for your business.
