  • It's Pretty But....

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 9, 2000
    Pros: Great screen, better than earlier versions
    Cons: Everything else

    Summary: ...it's no Palm. There, I said it. I love gadgets but they must qualify for my attention by way of making my life better, being an improvement over whatever I'm currently using that I'm replacing, must be logical (the Mr. Spock in me)and...be fun to ... read more

    Sep 11, 2001
    Pros: It's a veritable PC in your pocket!
    Cons: Nothing really beats working with a REAL PC.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Cons: could use more memory. internet access is expensive

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • You Can Do Better, But Worth A Look

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 26, 2001
    Pros: Audio, video, Microsoft compatibility, software, features
    Cons: Durability, memory, overall compatibility, performance

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    May 21, 2001
    Pros: Integration with MS Office / Outlook. Color display, Neat dictaphone feature, pretty rugged.
    Cons: A little heavy. Problems experienced with screen.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Jan 31, 2001
    Pros: Easy to use, solid design, highly intuitive
    Cons: Power hungry, crashes occasionally, small RAM

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Jan 29, 2001
    Pros: Looks cool

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Cons: Still need more Memory although there is a lot already, Color, THE WEIGHT :~~(

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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Nov 4, 2000
    Pros: Color, large memory, easy to use
    Cons: Expensive, low battery life

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Nov 1, 2000
    Pros: This PDA is packed with multimedia features.
    Cons: The Palm is better for data management. he unit is complicated.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Summary: The HP Jornada 545 is a piece of work. I fell in love with it even before it was out on the shelves. It's durability and scalability is amazing. Compared to other PDA's of it's kind it surpasses. It's loaded with great software and can be easily ... read more

  • The most durable PDA

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 9, 2000
    Pros: Most usable version of WinCE to date, USB
    Cons: Still a little more complex to use than PalmOS platforms

    Summary: I started with this type of device back with the Casio E-100 last year. The main decision points for me are color, stereo output and a compact flash slot. WinCE is still a little clunky but the PalmOS simply can't do what this can. It only has a type1 CF ... read more

    Pros: its great, nothing better!
    Cons: nothing bad at all!

    Summary: "Is that a Palm V?" asked the lady seated across the aisle from me on an America West flight from Denver to Sacramento. "No, it's something new," I answered. But I could understand her question. At first glance, HP's new Jornada ... read more

    Sep 17, 2000
    Pros: Quality, Size/Design, Reliable
    Cons: Still a difficult OS to really use effectively.

    Summary: Sadly, I have chased WinCE devices around the block. Two velos, which I really liked, and now my Jornada. First the bad. It isnt the easiest to use- not even close. Ive reloaded it twice with software because the golf game got so buggy nothing else ... read more

    Pros: light weight, good color and works when you need it to work.
    Cons: nothing wrong with it

    Summary: I bought the Jornada 545 so that I could use any place at any I have back and it's hard for me to sit at my desk top computer for long hours so after some thought I bought the Jornada I can do word documents and more with the Jornada I do my ... read more
