HP iPAQ 214 Enterprise Handheld

Advantages Microsoft Office Mobile, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth & 624MHz Processor
Disadvantages Small Main Memory

...The HP iPAQ 214 Enterprise Handheld is an advanced piece of kit which you can comfortably take with you anywhere you go, almost like a mini laptop! It actually runs on a 624MHz processor, I remember my first ever PC which was 133MHz, that really does put things in perspective. The design is very sophisticated with a nice 4 inch TFT touch screen display which is an improvement from HP's previous iPAQ's. It has many I/O for headphones, microphone, voice record and a USB port. So while using this iPAQ you can enjoy using Microsoft Office Mobile and all its applications including Outlook which can be synchronized very easily via the USB or Wi-Fi connectivity.

Advantages Easy to use.
Disadvantages None yet. Will update.

...I have just joined Ciao community to put the record straight on this PDA. A previous Ciao reviewer has given a negative review. I have only owned the PDA (HP iPaq 214 Enterprise Handheld) for two days. I believe I was one of the first in the UK to receive this machine as it became available from 25th January 2008. I was almost put off buying the iPaq by the other review here, but decided to give it a try. I am glad, as the PDA does everything a PDA should and at a very good speed and price. The other review here is definitely not for the iPaq 214. How did he get it some months before anyone else? The description bears no resemblance to my iPaq 214. The reviewer says the camera is appalling and defunct - it does not have a camera at all, so that clears that up. It does have 128 MB SDRAM and 256MB flash ROM, mine also came with 1GB SD card...

Advantages stylish, good OS
Disadvantages pricey, under-developed, out of date, slow

...I have owned this PDA via my business for a couple of months now and I will soon be sending it back.... The major flaw with not just this PDA but any is that my Nokia N95 does more!! At up to 250 GBP, is it worth it?? Pro's *Windows mobile OS - easy to navigate and reliable(as you would expect) *Light and durable( dropped mine several times!) *If you run a windows PC the Sync system is great! *Very stylish, going the way of the mobiles... Con's *Only 128MB of RAM means if you try and rush it, it gets slower and slower. *No integrated phone yet? *This is just one of a range (iPAQ114 - iPAQ914) and each do different things (314 is GPS, 514 is a phone etc) but as I said...my N95 will do all of the jobs for just 250 GBP! *If you are not running windows, very difficult to sync. *3Mp camera is truly apalling and defunct...
