Hewlett Packard Jornada 545 Pocket PC

Pros: It's a veritable PC in your pocket!
Cons: Nothing really beats working with a REAL PC.

The HP Jornada 545 may be one of the sleekest, coolest color PDA out there right now. And in my opinion, it's one with the best value for your money. It comes bundled with Microsoft Pocket Office! That itself is quite a gem. Now you can write your Word...

Pros: Connected screen protector, removable, onboard Compact Flash Media, ergonomics
Cons: Screen hard to see in sunlight, moderately slow processor, only 16 MB Memory

In the summer of 2000, a new graduate (me) emerged from the public high school system. I was motivated, eager, and, above all, disorganized. I, along with my parents, decided that I could think of no better tool/graduation present to help me traverse...

Pros: Fully Functional computer in your hand. Total access to everyday life! Not just a palm.
Cons: could use more memory. internet access is expensive

Ok, lets talk about the nice color screen. its everything you need when you're looking at a unit 5 hours a day. The pale green or barely backlit gray can be a bit annoying.

I like the full functionality of the unit. YES, you can view full...

Pros: Audio, video, Microsoft compatibility, software, features
Cons: Durability, memory, overall compatibility, performance

Overview
I have always been an HP fan, but my experience with the Jornada 545 has shown to be an exception. However, I could have had an atypical lemon. There is a good warranty and otherwise reason to give HP the benefit of the doubt, so my...

Pros: Integration with MS Office / Outlook. Color display, Neat dictaphone feature, pretty rugged.
Cons: A little heavy. Problems experienced with screen.

I've had the Jornada 545 for the past 6 months, and I haven't regretted spending $700 on it yet. All the little things that I used to wish I had handy - Internet ID's and passwords, list of insurance policies and their contact names, expenses, address...

Pros: Color, expandable, durable, a true pocket PC, synchs great with my PC
Cons: Less colors than originally advertised but this didn't affect performance

I have never been a "PDA" user because they were bulky, heavy, overbuilt, black and white and more inconvenient to use than a paper calendar or laptop. Then I got my Jornada. It happened to be a 545 and while I would recommend a 548 or higher model if...

Pros: Easy to use, solid design, highly intuitive
Cons: Power hungry, crashes occasionally, small RAM

I've had my Jornada 545 with me for 6 months now and feel it is the one piece of electronic equipment I can't live without. The greatest feature, or I should say features, is the amount of things I can do with this unit. Firstly, synchronizing up with...

Pros: Looks cool
Cons: The synch doesn't work!!!

After supplying my CEO with a Jornada 680 two years ago(see my review) and the good experiences I had with the PDA, I decided to get my wife a 548.

It hooked up just as easily and seemed to synch almost right out of the box. However, after...

Pros: Elegant Look, Powerful PPC, and huge memory.
Cons: Still need more Memory although there is a lot already, Color, THE WEIGHT :~~(

All the while, I was so amazed that people can check thing up or connect up to internet to do some surfing using a PDA. Isn't it fascinating that u playing MSN or ICQ in the subway or bus stand while waiting? Cool.. For people like me who cant live a day...

Pros: Can download software for it off the net easy.
Cons: Can't view big documents in Excel. Not enough room on the screen.

Hi,
I had a Philips Nino that ran the older version of Windows CE. After research, I found that Windows CE was going to get a face lift. Pocket PC took over the old life of the OS System that ran my Nino. I wanted to see if I would be able to...

Pros: Stable OS, Monumentous Sound, Clean Look, Fair price
Cons: Cannot see screen too well in sunlight, File transfer lacks speed

People are curious to see what i have in my hand. I do lots of writing and this device is the perfect companion for me to write down ideas and thoughts. The music player connected to a speaker system is superb. With a CF card of mp3's you can use...

Pros: Can run almost any pcoket program
Cons: some small glitches

After doing research on pocket pcs and palm computers, I decided on the HP Jornada 540. It has 32 megs of internal storage and 16 megs of ram, with a color display. It has a headphone jack, and headphone included. There is a build in mp3 player, a one...

Pros: Color, large memory, easy to use
Cons: Expensive, low battery life

I purchased this product because it could play MP3's. No shame in that, right? I just couldn't justify spending money on something that did just that, though. So, I picked up this little device, and it has changed my life.
This was the first device...

Pros: This PDA is packed with multimedia features.
Cons: The Palm is better for data management. he unit is complicated.

I love this little computer.
The HP 545Pocket PC has some obvious limitations. The 16 Ram memory is not nearly enough if you are using a flash card. The screen is not as bright as the IPaq but it is still a powerful device. When HP offered to refund...

Pros: Nice screen, good applications, good looks
Cons: Limited memory, no support for IBM CF drive

Epinions / Jornada 545

After a couple of years of using Palm machines, I decided I needed something else: colour. The choices came down to Palm’s IIIc, and the Hewlett Packard Jornada 545. Given that the Jornada was only £50 more, and came...
