Hewlett Packard Compaq iPAQ h3970 Pocket PC

Pros: The best PocketPC PDA on the market, but still some serious flaws.
Cons: Bulky and heavy with any add-ons, should have had Wi-Fi, not Bluetooth, EXPENSIVE.

Ok, I’ll fess up.

I bought a Sony NR70V and had buyer's remorse. Some of my friends had new iPaqs with nice bright screens, so I was curious...

hpshopping.com had a bunch of discounts and rebates and special offers on their new...

The product has performed exactly for what it was bought. I have just one problem in forking out 400$ for these machines. Apart from that anyone out there with a pda that has an xscale 400mhz processor has to wait for the next generation of pocket pc software because the 2002 has just issues with this processor. As far as comparing with other products i have owned before the 3970 by far exceeds the capacities of the 3800 series which i hvae had for about 1 year now. I you want a pda which is easy to use and upgrade and very very good in relations to its price this is the one.

Like the color quality, the features and ease of use. The price needs to come down to the high $200 to low $300 range with a integrated wireless unit targeted at the $500 range. I would recommend it to others and would only change because of wireless integration.

The IPAQ hit the market with excellent functionality before the rest. It continues to maintain the excellent functionality even as the market is getting flooded.
