Summary: Compaq iPaq 3765 beats Palm into the ground
Review: Besides all the obvious ways in which the Compaq iPaq 3765 is a more robust electronic organizer than any version of the Palm, there are two features or characteristics of the iPaq 3765 that deserve special mention. The first is the fact that the iPaq 3765 is a full-featured eBook, running Microsoft Reader with ClearType display technology. Now, perhaps that doesn't make you trip over your keyboard as you scramble to order one, but consider: You now have a full dictionary in your PDA. You also have an English to Spanish dictionary in your PDA. Or French to English. Or whatever you need. You also have Jack Welch's new best seller to peruse on your next flight, or while you're waiting at the doctor's office. You have the full operations manual for your iPaq right there on the iPaq itself! How many times have you actually had the manual for a device readily available at the moment you actually needed the damn thing? The fact that the iPaq 3765 is an easy-to-read eBook (with adjustable font sizes, book marking and other features) is a remarkable increase in usefulness over the conventional Palm OS PDA.
But the real advantage of the Compaq iPaq 3765 is the fact that its screen is a marvel of both clarity (hence an actually readable eBook) and touch-sensitivity. One of the most annoying characteristics of Palm PDAs is the insensitivity of the touch screen. You often have to tap the screen multiple times before it responds. And using it for graffiti writing is an enormous pain in the neck for even the relatively adept graffiti user. Your strokes are continuously misinterpreted. All the back spacing to re-stroke letters has caused many a Palm owner to give up on using graffiti as their most common mode of data entry. But with the iPaq 3765 each stroke is recogized instantly, with almost no re-stroking required. No kidding. As long as you're even close to matching the model graffiti stroke, the iPaq accurately recognizes the stroke! You can actually write with the damn thing! And when you tap the screen to select an entry in your contacts list, or choose one tab or the other, or highlight a bit of text, voila... the screen responds instantly and accurately. There are virtually no re-taps, no re-strokes, no mistakes. It's a touch screen made to be touched.
After years of using a Palm, including a color screen Palm IIIC, I feel like I have died and gone to heaven. The Copmpaq iPaq 3765 is head and shoulders better than the Palm OS offerings because it is a far more robust PDA, with marvelous eBook capabilities and an order of magnitude better screen in terms of clarity and the all important touch sensitivity.

Review: This is by far the greatest PDA available on the market for under (dollar amount). With one of the largest displays and 64mb Ram the 3765 makes all aplications enjoyable. Pocket PC 2002 puts all palm os systems to shame, only complaint is the lack of compact flash slot, but one can be purchased for (dollar amount) and is not to bad on the eye.

Review: I was despretly in need of a handheld to keep track of my busy scedule so I went to see my good friends at (store) and asked that what they recomended. They told me that what I was looking for could only be found in two diffrent handhelds, the Compaq iPAQ 3765 or the new Sony Clie. I checked both out, compared prices, read reviews and it turned out that both were pretty much the same, so I choes Compaq because of its good looks and bright screen. It's farly easy too use, with good picture, and lots of memory. I also like the portible media player. The only reason I didn't give this a 5 was that the Clie also has some better points, and I've heard that a new handheld that can show movie slips will be comming on the market soon. All in all I'm very comtent with what I have.

Summary: Really cool
Review: Well the iPAQ is the best in its class.
It gives you all you can get from a handheld.The only problem is that if u want to use the PC card jacket the whole thing gets a bit too bulky does not actually fit in a pocket. It might be cool that u can get wireless with the PC card jacket, but it looses its portability. Apart fom this, the device is cool and beats the other handhelds 'hands down' with it built in features. Ah, yes one more aspect about the iPAQ. It gets sort of power hungry with all its add-ons. If we look at the Sony for a comparison we can get a clear picture. The sony has special memory system not supported by others, and uses other proprietary stuff. On the other hand if you look at the specs of the iPAQ you will notice that it is compatible with a lot of other products e.g. the IBM microdrive for unlimited storage space. The bottom line is that the you as a buyer can't more from a hand held than the iPAQ. If you are the kind of person who is still reluctant to buy the iPAQ be cause of the 1 or 2 small set-backs then you will have to wait till the Handheld market matures, all the wireless technology shrinks and power storage technolgy advances. So if you are thinking about buying a color handheld then you have no choice other than the Compaq iPAQ.

Summary: Great unit compared to the competition
Review: I was a little peeved to find out that while I paid 500 bucks for the 32/16 (Ram/Rom) ipaq with PocketPC 3.0, this new one has 2002 and is 64/32 for same price. (A bargain to you a pain to me) but anyway its amazing. Only reason I gave it a four as opposed to a 5 is i recommend spending a little more for the futuristic iPaq not yet out but it will have 16Bit display ( a must for videos )

Review: The battery life is pretty bad. Battery looses it's charge after a few days even if you don't use it. Had to buy an extra charger for the office. Device is never ready when I need it. Device is large and troublesome to carry around. Grip is a little slippery. Newer models have integrated CF or SM slots. Wish I had spent the extra money for that. Otherwise it's nice. Bright display.

Review: This is now the defacto affordable Pocket PC. The expandability and number of accessories available make this the choice for me for the next few years.

Summary: Rebate Debacle -HP/Compaq Customer Service Pulls Through!!!
Review: I have held quite a number of PDAs in my hand and found them wanting. Most of them like the Palms, look very seedy. They are very bulky with all the add-ons and peripherals so that when bundled together, looks as if you're carrying around a notebook when in fact you aren't and the product is actually way below the calibre of a true pocket pc at that. Purchasers will be scrambling to get rid of their overrated palms and replace them with IPAQs. I have the IPAQ 3765 and love it. Its display, ability to sychronise with my desktop and the options of whether to type or write in script are just a few of features that come with a TRUE pocket pc! one fault is the letter recognizer... it doesn't convert my handwriting to standard computer fonts too well. it's pricey... but you understand why... quality!
