Added on August 14, 2007, 3:37 pmHi, i got 1 funny problem here in my IPAQ 512. When i connected to WIFI service, the internet surfing works fine though the WIFI. But, when i launch the Windows LIVE messenger. It uses the GPRS/EDGE services of my telco company instead of WIFI. How come? How to solve it? How do i know that it is using the GPRS is the "G" is "blinking" beside the service bar.. pls help..

Just called DIGI CS, and i ask them if i can connect to edge using nokia edge phone, yes can and they say Nokia phone connecting speed will be faster than edge card or any other phone connecting speed.

But the edge/gprs charges are still so high at the moment, hopefully Digi will lower their charges soon.

TIME is taken by Maxis

Updates again. I gotten the Digi SIM card. The EDGE speed is dissapointed. I run a bandwidth test at jaring website.4 times. First time download speed as 77kbps, 2nd time 45kbps(dial up speed), 3rd time 28kbps, 4th time 50kbps. The upload speed is about 70kbps. I call to Digi & they are confirm the area i am at is coverage by EDGE and she said EDGE is 384kbps. And they promise to send a technition tommorrow to check it out.

My question here.
If my HP IPAQ 512 shown an "E" on the service bar when i connect to internet means i am using EDGE rite? Under IPAQ- Internet Sharing. I chose Digi GPRS (why not Digi EDGE) and connect using USB cable to notebook via active syn. With the infor, am i really connected to EDGE? or GPRS?tq very much

btw can anyone tell me the notebook hp 520 battery life per charge? cause it only provide 4 cell 32WHr battery ...

I just seen my friend received the good today. The phone 512 seem nice to use. The notebook a bit akward... for price tag rm 2699, no TV-Out, no card reader and small battery pack and new design of touch pad. I think Acer Travelmate 4170 AMD TUrion64x2 at RM 1999 give more power and package than this 520 from HP.

The batt will run out very fast i think 1 hour & 45 minuts.. U can't compare HP 520 with Acer. As HP is a business class notebook. It is more expensive compare to HP Compaq presario..

the battery cannot be upgrade so thats is the weak point for HP 520 Notebook,somemore it come with bright view screen so the battery cannot last for long use....

what do we get from HP 520 so called business class when most of the stuff is not provided. other model and brand lower than that price tag gave so much more accessories and stuff.

Btw are you sure a full charge 4 cell battery for Intel Duo Core 1.6ghz can last 1 hour 45 mins? Cause my Acer 6 cell running at 800mhz on battery mode can last 3 hours with WiFi on.

u tested at night time? what about day time at different location?
As I said..don't expect EDGE as fast as your 512/1Mbps broadband.. by right, it should be compete with old day ISDN 128kbp.

Sometime, I don't think those speed test can be a standard for us to judge the wireless speed performance as its "wireless", signal wave running up & down.

try emule or browse certain web which running flash would be good to judge it.

I did ask Digi DSS person in charge, Ipoh average speed is 115kbps while top is 230kbps download rate.... I wonder how good is Maxis 3G by then

jimmy, trust me......once you tried celcom, you will never regret if you area hav strong celcom signal......look at my sig

fyi i am only using d68 standalone pak, if i were to upgrade to d120 or d99 wif voice...the speed will shoot up to 1.2Mbps cause my area now hav HSDPA

I think they "taged" the so call professional users like CEO or business man do not need ATI Radeon 3D card, super Altec lancing speaker.. etc.. therefore, the business class notebook spec is a standard spec.

For batt.. yes.. is about that only.. It really runs out very fast. The time given is base on the battery estimated time stated on the system tray on Vista..

Added on August 15, 2007, 10:54 amYesterday,I test until midnite. After the first few test. For the whole nite i only got the speed as a dial up connection speed at 33.6kbps or 50kbps. Off course i never expect the speed to be as fast as 384kbps. If i can get around anything from 120 to 200 kbps. I will not complain.

If i buy two 1Gb RAM and remove the 512 RAM? any effect?

can I connect 2 pcs using mobile broadband har?

I've received connection problem from the Ipaq 512 since day one (activation), as represented by Digi DSS, HP has been upgrading the Ipaq firmware and the firmware is not compatible or contains bugs which slow down the internet connection and automatic turnoff, Digi DSS advise 512 users to bring their phone to Digi Service Centre in Low Yatt to fix the problem. Will try to update the status once fixed....
