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 drool.gif salavating drool.gif 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... rclxms.gif

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.

I hve read the reviews frm the foreign media, what I want to know is the feedback in the local media icon_rolleyes.gif
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 whistling.gif notworthy.gif

Am really gonna get it since am a Ipaq "lover" just would like to read some local reviews before I do thumbup.gif
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.  drool.gif  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  brows.gif
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 rclxms.gif Reason for me to "upgrade" is actually an excuse saje to my wife,
since my curent Ipaq (have 4 at home whistling.gif ) compared to the 512 is wayyy so much difference... thumbup.gif

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?
