Summary: Excellent, but beware non-standard headphone jack!
Review: Everything I've read in the other reviews is correct. Pocket PC finally matches Palm in size and weight, having surpassed this other operating system in all other aspects. However, what made HP decide to put a non-standard 2.5 mm plug for audio in the 1910 instead of the standard 3.5mm minijack? One of the reasons why I use a Pocket PC is its ability to play audio, and if this is high in your priorities, make sure that you have this question solved. What an unfortunate way to create an uncalled for problem in what otherwise is an extraordinary product!

Summary: You won't be dissapointed
Review: What a fanastic little machine. I traded in my Toshiba e330 as I was not impressed by the screen. What a difference, the quality of the Hp 1910 screen is simply brilliant. The stylish looks are also unsurpassed. However my one worry was the processor speed. Well this is no longer a problem as there are freeware downloads availible which overclocks the machine to 300MHZ (very simple to install). Apparently the HP 1910 is factory set to run at a lower speed than it can handle. So in my opinion there really is no reason to choose any other device in this price range. You won't go wrong with this running at 300MHZ. Previous negative points have been small battery size (not been a problem so far), lack of a cradle (why does anyone need one?) no protective case (mildly annoying), and lack of expandability. If none of these bother you, you'll be a very happy owner. BUY IT!!!!

Summary: Great small form factor
Review: I have been a past Palm OS fan (former Palm III and Handspring Deluxe ownwer) and still feel the Palm OS is the best bet for a simple / terse environment. However the iPAQ 1910 is a great size and design also the Pocket PC OS provides a better integrated environment for more searous tinkering. My only complaint would be about the small button sizes, but this is a result of the small size.

Summary: I like it very much -- Optimum solution
Review: I have been looking for a PDA for quite some time. I have started with considering the Palm products naturally then I have focused on Sony Clie series. When I was to make a decision between SJ-30 and T665 which was a though one for me because SJ-30 didnt have MP3 play capability and I didnt like the lenghty size of T665, I have noticed this baby, HP-1910 which was fitting into my requirements perfectly with the same price tag with T665. It looks beautiful with a perfect, slim design, has MS Windows CE operating system that offers a lot of utility programs free like Word, Excel and Media Player. Plus, it has SD memory card expansion slot which is a bonus for me because my digital camera is using the same type of memory card. The battery life looks allright too (It needed recharge after 2 days of frequent use). And all comes with a reasonable price tag. The one problem I had is that I still couldn't find a peculiar case which I belive is a must to keep the large screen safe. Another point as someone else pointed out is that it was locked out several times during the first days of usage. I used the hidden reset button on the side of the machine to break the lockout which didn't cause me lose my data and settings. However, once in a while I used the method of remove and replace of battery to break the lockout which caused me lose everyhing. So be carefull about it. I was reallly ... off at that time but I couldn't afford to return it for a refund or service because I liked it very much and it never locked out again since then.

Summary: Could be a great product if it worked
Review: The first unit that I received was replaced by HP Technical Support because it froze and required a reset almost daily. My second unit turns itself on for a reminder and never shuts off causing the battery to completely drain and erase all of my information and settings. HP Tech Support attempted to blame 3rd party applications for my trouble but I haven't even installed any Microsoft software. I am hanging in there with high hopes for the new version of Pocket PC.

Summary: Good but with flaws
Review: UPDATE: I no longer recommend the iPaq 1910 PDA. While I still like its stylish finish and small size, the slow processor (200Mhz), slow bus (66Mhz), and lack of SDIO (or any other expansion than SD memory) make it a so-so value and a crippled device for the wireless future. You'll also likely run into endless problems with ActiveSync, as I have lately which already gave me tons of new white hair. I also have serious problems with HP's customer support and recommend you think twice before subjecting yourself to possible dealing with a customer-hostile company like HP. The updated version of the 19xx series, scheduled for a July release, will use a non-standard processor, still gives you crippled RAM, and is not going to be wi-fi compliant. So avoid those as well. In its place, consider a Viewsonic V3x series if you want something light and thin -- and V37 supports SDIO -- or a Dell Axim, ugly but packed with features. If you can afford it, the Toshiba e755 is the perfect PDA, with loads of memory, dual expansion slots, and built-in wi-fi that works. ***** Original review: I've had my iPaq H1910 for two months now. Before that I used an Audiovox Maestro (made by Toshiba) and also a Palm m505. I had the Palm only because I got it for free and used it for one specific Palm-only app. I like the Pocket PC environment much better, so I'm not an unbiased bystander in the PPC-vs-Palm platform war. Ok, that's out of the way, let's talk about the 1910. There were two reasons for my purchase. No. 1, the absolutely beautiful screen. Compared to the washed-out screen on my Maestro, the brilliance and richness of color on the 1910 screen is just unbelievable. Even after 2 months, I still admire its quality every day, esp. since I keep a lot of JPEGs and small videos on my iPaq. I keep the backlight level at the midpoint, which is totally adequate under 99% of indoor lighting conditions and also for cloudy outdoor lighting. Outdoors when under the sun, you can go to bright or superbright and the screen is totally readable. The backlight is also flooded evenly unlike on the Dell and Viewsonic products. In short, the 1910 has one hell of a great screen. Reason no. 2 was the compactness. You don't appreciate the smallness and light weight of the 1910 until you see it in real. Go to your local CompUSA, Best Buy or Circuit City for a close look. The metallic body is beautiful, and you won't believe how compact it is, esp. if you are a long-time Pocket PC follower. If I had to compare it to a Palm model, it's the Palm Zire, which of course has a dark, monochrome screen and only 2MB of memory (not all of which is even usable) and absolutely no multimedia features. So I was sold on the two main selling points of the 1910 vis-a-vis other PPC models, which are plenty these days. Of course, with the 1910 you face limitations when it comes to expandability: the SD slot is NOT SDIO capable; there's no "sleeve" available; there's no CF slot. If you are a PPC user, you may want to consider the 1910 for its compactness and brilliant screen, esp. if you don't plan to use any IO peripherals. The 1910's speed is quite good (comparable to other 200Mhz PPCs and even to some 300Mhz models.) If you are a Palm user, keep in mind that what you pay for is more than an expensive datebook that happens to run Avantgo and Vindigo. You also get a multimedia jukebox with video, audio and picture support. Besides, on the PPC you are NOT forced to learn a new way of writing. But in the end, you should play with both to see which interface you like better.

Summary: Light Weight - Colorful Screen
Review: Finally, a small PPC that does what one generally uses it for. Everything you need to maintain your contacts and appointments and still play a mean game of pinochle during slack time. Would be nice if it had just a bit more RAM and ROM, but with a 128MB SD card, it seems to work just fine.

Summary: Great start but weak on key options and features
Review: Well, got the new IPAQ yesterday in the mail. WOW, what a great little PDA. Other reviewers have talked about the wonderful features and such. However, let me share my initial experience trying to find some of the key accessories and features. First, missing from the product is any kind of protective cover. Drop this little gem the first time on a hard floor and its going to be toast. Checked the HP site and discovered they offer no solutions for the 1910 yet. Third party products look very bulky (so called universal solutions) for this very slim unit. Second, there is no built in JPEG file viewer. You must go to the the MS site and purchase a third party product. This viewer should have been bundled with PC 2002 operating system. Third, try as I might, find a way to delete files within the file exployer is not possible. I finally resorted to accessing the PDA from the desktop system to eliminate unwanted files. Forth, I discovered a website dedicated to tracking bugs in PocketPC 2002....there are lots of them [local website] and many are still unresolved. Bottomline: Love the size, price and screen...but not impressed by the lack of critical accessories and features of PocketPC 2002. I would have thought that this hot product would have had a better launch.

Summary: Incredible connectivity and light weight
Review: I'm amazed at the speed of connectivity with this little thing. I had a HP Jornada which now seems like an old laptop compared to this IPAQ 1910. I love the speed of connection thru the IR port. I keep putting programs into it and still have more than half the storage space left. It is the lightest PDA I saw when I was shopping around. Also, there are more PC friendly programs out there, so the old PalmOS rule is not in effect anymore. I strongly recommend it.
