  • Uncompromising

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 5, 2003
    Pros: Small, light, beautiful, connected (almost)
    Cons: No keyboard or WiFi (yet), no case or cradle in the box

    Summary: A few hours ago I owned, and wrote a review on the iPAQ H1910 PDA, on this unit is based. In that r ... read more

  • Pocket power - and good looking too

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 16, 2005
    Pros: Size, power, excellent display
    Cons: Looking slightly long in the tooth two years on

    Summary: I've been using the iPAQ H1940 for about two years now and feel well qualified to comment on the device. The first comment to make about this iPAQ is that this is the first handheld that I have used for two years without feeling an overwhelming urge ... read more

  • palm still rules for now

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 10, 2003
    Pros: great software, small, removable battery, nice multimedia features.
    Cons: 3.5 hours battery life, no case, 64 megs is really 30 megs of storage

    Summary: being an avid palm powered user since 1996 made me curious to try out hp's "ipaq 1940", and boy it was interesting. When you think about the word "pocket pc" you assume this means small pc. And yes, this is what you get. The Big pc has a desktop, ... read more

  • Avoid

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 2, 2003
    Pros: Decent price
    Cons: Slow processor, short battery life, poor support

    Summary: IPAQ 1940 is a very poorly implemented Pocket PC PDA. The only thing it has going for it is the styling, but you should know that the casing is very slippery and since it doesn't come with a case or flip cover, you can easily drop it and see your $300 was ... read more

  • Compaq iPAQ 1940

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 7, 2003
    Pros: Thin, light, good battery life
    Cons: No case, limited to SD card expansion, extremely thin stylus

    Summary: So far, I've loved this 1940 much more than my humungous old 3650. The battery life is great, the c ... read more

  • If form factor is tops in your priority, it speaks your language

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 8, 2003
    Pros: Stylish, functional, affordable
    Cons: slower processor for a $300 offering, need more bundled wares.

    Summary: The IPAQ 1940 is HP’s replacement for the popular H1910. The H1910 model was successful for two main ... read more

    Pros: small size compared to other Ipaq's, very flexible can do many things , good price
    Cons: battery life is ok, no much memory included

    Summary: I have owned about 4 Ipaq's and Palm's before i got my hands on this one. I have bought it about 2 years ago as a present for my self. It has basically changed my life. The unit is extremly small compared to other Ipaq's out there and the

  • LCD screen life is very limited

    Jun 25, 2005
    Pros: Great display when it worked
    Cons: Expect screen to throw the liquids one day!

    Summary: I bought the IPAQ 1940 Pocket PC a couple of years back and I had no problems with it and loved it for its display and form factor. But after 18 months, the screen developed a big internal crack for no reason. Cost to replace that at HP is $200. I read

  • nice, chews batteries, screen scratches easily

    Apr 9, 2004
    Pros: Thin, fast, nice screen, better software than Palm
    Cons: Screen scratches too easily when writing. Battery life poor esp with Bluetooth on.

    Summary: I moved from a Palm to a Pocket PC 9 months ago. This one has got a great screen and is THIN. The graffiti writing is better (even compared with the tungsten) Bluetooth works nicely with my cellphone (for text messaging). Got a 256 memory card for

  • NO KEYBOARDS AVAILABLE

    Feb 11, 2004
    Pros: Small lightweight
    Cons: No keyboard compatibility

    Summary: Nice and pretty PDA, but there are no keyboards available except an IR Targus which has been reviewed as hit-or-miss. Nowhere on the marketing documents does HP mention that there are no keyboards, nor are there many websites warning of same. If all

  • Great Handheld for the Money

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Feb 4, 2004
    Pros: Sleek, futuristic design. Nice screen. Future expandability and built-in wireless! Cool!
    Cons: Limited software package. Not as many available apps as PalmOS. HP documentation not very thorough.

    Summary: I was always kind of envious of my wife and her antiquated-but-useful Handspring Visor, but never broke down and bought a PDA for myself. I'm glad I waited as long as I did because this PDA has tons of features for the money. The unit feels sleek and

    Pros: Great battery life, sleek look, great sound, Bluetooth!
    Cons: Not enough accessories yet, nor screen protectors. I ended up cutting one to fit.

    Summary: As a first time PDA owner, I opted for Windows, hearing horror stories of the PALM PDA's. Surprised at how good the PDA looks overall, it performs just as well. With a beautiful crisp picture, and amazingly decent sound from a practically invisible
