Summary: Super Price-Super Pocket PC
Review: Not a tech head or a geek but need a Pocket PC to organize your life? The iPAQ 1935 will meet all your needs and then some! Five minutes after charging I was inputting data and customizing the unit. I love the alarm and reminder functions-they make it hard to forget things and they have a 5 minute snooze feature! The calendar function can be viewed by day, week, month, or year and is great for long term planning. It is also an MP3 player, and has voice recording. The voice recorder can be set to CD quality sound and appears to have no time limits. Great for keeping those transient thoughts.Caveats: HP does not include a case, the warranty lasts 90 days, no docking cradle, needs bluetooth to be mobile. You can live without the cradle and bluetooth, only pay for them if you really want them. A great gift for anyone, even yourself. If you don't want to spend a lot of money but need the convenience of a Pocket PC you won't be disappointed. I find it to be much more convenient than a paper day planner.

Summary: YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN
Review: Not able to sync appts. and contacts with my computer. Only tasks made it to the desk top. Warranty expired and IPAQ went dead the next day. I guess it only had a 6 month warranty. :( Support not helpful as the people were very hard to understand and could not help as the warranty expired. Tried to find out minimum cost to send for repair and was sent to many different people and no help. BEWARE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG AND IT PROBABLY WILL.

Summary: Terrific Value - Works Great!
Review: Not much to add other than I think the unit is great. I spent a lot of time looking around for the best value in a PDA, and I believe I found it in the 1935. What a step up from my old grayscale Palm!

Summary: Poor Service from HP/IPAQ
Review: PLEASE read this before you buy an HP IPAQ product so you know how you will be treated if you should have a problem. I own about 6 HP products between IPAQ's, printers and scanners, and I always chose an HP before any other product, until NOW.
I purchased 3 IPAQ's within 2 months. One for myself, my husband, and my father to the tune of $1350! There are days I don't even use my IPAQ, so it isn't abused. My IPAQ froze up on Thanksgiving day of 2003. It would not do anything, so on Monday, I called HP service, they said they wouldn't do anything because the 1 year warranty had expired. I purchased two of the three on Oct. 4, 2002 and this was November! I thought, oh, this product is only good for 1 year of use?
So I talked to a few "higher up's" in the service area and got told that I am on my own. Then I had my husband call up there and they agreed to send us a box with shipping paid so we could send the unit back for them to diagnose the problem. Fair enough. They call within a week and left us a message telling us that the mother board is shot and it will cost $217 to fix. I just got done paying $450 for the product just over a year ago!! You have to be kidding!! This unit was obviously DEFECTIVE from the beginning. And because of a few days of warranty lapse, HP won't step up to the plate and help at all.
So my husband calls back up there and talks to another "higher up" again (because obviously he got further than I did the first time), and her verdict was that HP will not stand behind their product at all. We have to pay the entire bill. Well I will tell you what, I will not fix this HP product, nor will I EVER buy an HP product again. And furthermore, I am in one of the hugest business markets in the world and talk to customers all day long, and I will be sure to tell them of how HP treats their customers. They should stand behind their product, Period!
If they haven't figured it out, PEOPLE make a business and HP's people and policies are ludicrous! If I have a customer that has a problem and is 2 months out of warranty, I will make our manufacturer stand behind their product and fight for my customer's rights!! It is obvious that HP doesn't care about their customers at all. Good to know!! Beware of big business.

Summary: Wonderful until the screen broke.
Review: Received as a present for Christmas. Excellent 5 star PDA. Worked beautifully until after sitting in a briefcase overnight the LCD broke (which is not covered by HP's warranty) redering the product useless. This is the second product I have purchased from HP within the last few years (the other being a digital camera) and the second product which has just failed after a short period of time, but out of warranty. I would strongly recomend you buy a pda from a different company.

Summary: Great PDA, if it never leaves the house
Review: The computer actually works pretty well, is easy to set up, and fast enough for all the applications we're likely to run on it (including a full-featured implementation of Go). It's also pretty comfortable to use. With the security problems of wi-fi and other wireless options, and limited appicability of BlueTooth, the more expensive versions didn't make a lot of sense. It's not for FPS gaming, but it works pretty well. Unfortunately, the glass touch screens are ridiculously fragile. Ours developed a crack across one corner of the screen after a couple of months of use, rendering it useless. Although there is no evidence that the unit was dropped (pressure fracture?), HP isn't even going to think about warranty coverage. Worse, they want about $15 less than the original price of the unit new in the box to replace the screen. I don't know how this compares to other PDA's, but this one is far, far too delicate to be a practical consumer item. Not recommended.

Summary: It's nice while it lasts, but...
Review: The four months I had this in working condition, it worked wonderfully well. I never had any problem with it. Unfortunately, that wasn't to last. I had it on its charger while I was working and next think I know, there's a crack in the glass about an inch up from the bottom of the screen. I had never dropped this PDA, I was always very careful while using it. There was no reason for this to happen, and it did so without any outside interference. And they really get you coming and going on this one. A replacement LCD screen with glass top (you can not buy the glass top alone for this model) is almost $200. That's about what the PDA costs in the first place! Since this happened to me, I have seen where several other people have complained of the exact same thing happening to them. This is obviously a product default, and I would never recommend that anyone buy this model. I can't vouch for any of the other HP models, but this one is a definite waste of money. Don't take the chance.

Summary: What a great deal!
Review: The HP 1935 is WAY better than I could have hoped for. I was looking for a PDA that I could use over my Wi Fi networks at home and work and I ended up choosing the 1935. It would have cost me hundreds of dollars to get a PDA with Wi Fi built in, so I bought this unit with the Socket SD Wi Fi card (it's so SMALL) and ended up saving tons. Everything worked right out of the box and I haven't had any issues. The only draw back is the Wi Fi card eats your battery like you wouldn't believe so an extra battery wouldn't be a bad idea. No matter which Pocket PC you buy don't forget to go to Microsoft's Pocket PC site and update everything, it's well worth it. 02-05-04 Oh and it seems that HP as discontinued this model since it is no longer listing it on it's site.
