Rating: Summary: Cutting Edge Technology Review: I've owned it 3 months. Only complaint is battery time. I use it every day.
Rating: Summary: My Reminder! Review: I can use my Compaq handheld computer for everything. I love it because it helps me remember dates and times so easily. I was always forgetting appointments or things I needed to take care of and this holds all my information for me. I even have my gradebook and directions to different places stored in it. Plus, I don't have to carry around a huge briefcase anymore with all my scattered papers. All my contact information in detail along with my appointments, etc. are all in there. My co-workers call it my little friend because it reminds me of things they always had to! In fact, one by one they have been purchasing them too. I love it!
Rating: Summary: Compaq iPAQ 3135 Review: compaq ipaq 3135, monochrome little brother of it's color version - but in this case little brother has the same 206 mhz processor as it's "bigger" brother - although it's a great electronic little date book/alarm/ todo list /ebook - the 20x+ more powerful processor than the Palm brand PDA also plays a mean game of chess - the best two professional chess programs available for yhe Ipaq are chessgenius [...] and Pocket Fritz [...]... after a hard day in the office, I usually battle my Ipaq in a chess game or two on the ride home on the train...well worth the investment ....

Rating: Summary: Beam us aboard Scotty! NOT! Review: The ipaq is a slick PDA with lots of power and multiple apps that were impossible to find on any palm held device just a few years ago (except for the Phillips nino that died ahead of its time). That said here comes the BAD news. Big bad microsofts CE operating system is the weakpoint (according to Compaq customer service) when I called to complain about beaming multiple contacts from an ipaq to an ipaq. Compaq cutomer service responded to my question with "Why would you want to?" (This guy obviously doesn't need or use a PDA!)But with the included Peacemaker, software you can beam multiple contacts between a palm device and an ipaq. That is what I love about the Palm, your'e at a meeting and you ask about the new office of 15 people that just opened up in the western region. Joe say's I got that right here and from across the room he beams you ALL 15 names in seconds with one action. WHY indeed would I want to!!! The ipaq requires 15 seperate actions and on top of that the "ir" ports must be close enough that you better have used your deoderant today. Thumbs down for field contact management on the compaq ipaq.
Rating: Summary: A simply fantastic Pocket PC/PDA! Review: This is a fantastic PDA! It handles all of the basic PDA duties real well, but it does so much more.It handles games, audio and so much more with ease. Get a large CF card for all the files you will want to carry in it. I really like the READER program where you can carry some of your favorite books. The books are easily downloaded from the internet, and the IPAQ screen is very easy to read in almost any light. I previously had an early Windows CE Palm Size Computer; the Philips NINO. It did the basics, but not much else. The IPAQ 3635 shows how far the Windows based Pocket PC's have come. With the current $150 rebate its about the same price as the Palm 505, but with better features. It is also upgradeable to Pocket PC 2002 OS. The IPAQ 3635 is what "mobility" is all about!
Rating: Summary: this one...me off Review: i bought this one because of its powerful cpu and the ability to play mp3. i never use excel or word, and think it's really useless for PDA user. i know Windows is notorious for its unstability. However, i never expected that it is so unstable that sometimes i have to soft reset it daily! it freezes just before ring the preset alarm. i owned this one for nearly 6 month, and had to hard reset it 4 times. and after hard reset, it messed up synchrozation with your PC by asking you establishing new partnership every time you connect it to your PC. then it asks you if you need to combine info together. if you ok it, then you got a mixture of old info with your updated one. otherwise, no synch will be done! what the hell is this? the worst is all the failure are random, it happened here and there. you cannot reproduce the same failure intentionally, which in no way that you can figure out what was the exactly problem! i called compaq three times, and finally, they took it back for repairing, and i have no idea what they are going to do. is it time to switch to palm?
Rating: Summary: This thing is sweet.. Review: Very nice.. Slick little unit with a ton of funcionality. Adding the CF sleeve adds quite a bit to it's size, but it's still manageable. Battery life isn't all that great. Kinda wish I could replace them, instead of having to shut it off and wait till i can charge it. Other beefs I have is 12 bit color and having to use the expansion jacket for C/F cards.
Rating: Summary: Great Product and Price!! Review: I really like this product and technology. The iPAQ 3135 has most of the same features as the higher priced pocketPC's at a great price. Even though this has the monochrome screen the display is very readable and clear. The compact flash jacket is a nice addition which gives you options such as CF memory and network cards. The only cons I have found is that this unit has 16mb of memory which will limit you to how much software can be installed. Also, some programs will not work with this model due to memory/display limitations. So if you want a pocketPC that wont break the bank, the iPAQ 3135 fits the bill!
Rating: Summary: Great Pocket PC in Lowset price Review: If you are looking for good Pocket PC with great price, then this is the one you should get it. I got it few months ago and never looked back. It has all the features one can imagine plus MP3 player and voice recorder. The only Cons is, it is little heavy as compared to Palm pilot (if you really want to compare apples with oranges). Also beware, latest version of Windows CE may not work in its maximum capacity with this model. But for most of the users it does not matter.
