uh? sound good ya..the battery life on 512 iPAQ

Hi All,

I hve been a Ipaq user for a long time from the early 3800 series to the 3417(wifi) and currently
for the past 2 years Ipaq 6365. Have been salavating on the Ipaq 6828, but now
my attention has turned to the 512 series. Seems like with the feedbacks given here its a good buy,
BUT it looks a bit odd to me that non of the local IT mag's have reviewed it thus far or did I miss
the article? I buy HWM and PC.Com, has anyone else seen any local review, sorry ya...

It is still new(Malaysian market at least). Most of us just received the phone last week after waiting for more than a month for it. Mobile world did have a sales articles on it. You can have a look at the review at other sites. i think the link is somewhere in this thread.

Now for some of the UI screenshot
The Home screen


The shortcuts assigned.


Some of the icons after clicking the start buttons


File explorer


The connection manager


WIndows media player


Different kind of menu using the smartoolkit software. Just like windows XP.

I hve read the reviews frm the foreign media, what I want to know is the feedback in the local media
AFAIK Ipaq 512 was launch in mid June by HP Malaysia, and the only sole article so far I have seen is in
a motorning magazine(Asian Auto July 2007 issue) go figure

Am really gonna get it since am a Ipaq "lover" just would like to read some local reviews before I do
btw, excellent UI shoots...thanks

Wouldn't it be like downgrading to you. From touch screen to non touch screen phone? For me, this is my 1st smartphone. Before this i was thinking in getting a N70 or a 2nd hand dopod. But the price for this phone is hard to resist. Some even suggested me to buy the 2nd hand dopod 577w or the Dopod C500. 577w is already eol by dopod and my main concern is warranty.

The company i worked for has purchased HP DL380 and blade servers before so i am familiar how their warranty works and i know some of the HP support engineers here


I think local reviews would be in a month or two.

I dont see it as a downgrade, as currently using Moto V3x for calls and Ipaq6365 for net & appointments/contacts Reason for me to "upgrade" is actually an excuse saje to my wife,
since my curent Ipaq (have 4 at home ) compared to the 512 is wayyy so much difference...

Bro, could you post pics of the contacts list? is it the same UI like 6365? thanks

BTW, did anyone check out the Digi promotion in The Star papers yesterday on the Ipaq 512?
comments?

I also need to prepare the "justification" to the ministry of finance and spending. Here are the contact screenshots

Contacts


Pressing the menu in contact screen


Adding new item into contact


Editing a contact

Photos taken with the ipaq.

gues we are in the same boat when comes to purchases of certain value thanks for the pics/shoots
appreciate it

mycomputer, overall, do u satisfy with this phone? How is its performance when comparing with ur previous phone?

hows the control and navigation ?
since it does not have a touch screen...is it user frenly?
will it lag when opening applications?

The performance is ok. Lagged a little bit when changing or selecting functions. I think the battery can last more than three days without heavy usage. I got a surprise today. From 34% then dropped to 4% in less than an hour. Something wrong with the sensor i think. Charging is not a problem. I have a lot of usb cables lying around at home, office. Charged it through my laptop, desktop & home PC.

The weight is just nice to me.

It is not easy to find software specially designed for WM6, but the OS still new, gave it a couple of months.

To compare it to my old phone (K700i) is not quite fair The ipaq is way way much better.

Cons.
-No indicator or alert to notify me of unread message or a missed call. (There is a software for this, but designed for WM5. I tried to install and it keep vibrating non-stop)
-No radio. I used to listen to the k700i fm radio while riding my bike to listen for traffic updates. Especially on the Penang bridge. (I could buy the i-tech radio bt headset for this)
-No USB 2.0 connection

Pros.
-Easy to sync up with my outlook calendar with correct time and date for different timezone
-Can view excel, word and powerpoints files. (Can't create them, to create you need WM6 Pro)
-Media player to listen to mp3 and view videos.
-WiFi
-Easy charging

Some people said that the screen is small, but for me it is adequate for my needs. I'm still learning to really maximise the usage. For me this is a good phone for those who want to buy their 1st smartphone. I can give it 8/10.

How much is that? Is the music player good? Expansion card supported up to?

Control is using the d-pad in the middle. There is a lot of shortcuts key.
Like this screenshot

You can use the pad to navigate or press "1" for IE, "4" for calendar, "6" for contacts. I think you get the idea. I think SE also using this method.

The lag is there but still ok for me.


The music player is Windows Media player for mobile, something like windows media player 10 for desktop. You can use TCPMP is you want. I'm not quite sure on the biggest microSD supported, I use 2Gb for my iPAQ.
