Summary: A dissapointing saga
Review: I had my company purchase a 2010c for me a little over a year ago. I was pretty excited since it was color. I was migrating from the first generation Compaq WinCE device (made by Casio) which I loved. I wanted more than anything to reduce my need to carry a laptop for most things. Because of my previous experience with Compaq and their good reputation, I expected an equally good experience. However, things began going wrong fairly rapidly. The first problem was with The battery life. Their life started out at nearly 4 hours continuous use, which I expected because it was a color machine. However, because of the way the cradle was designed, the NiMH batteries were being constantly charged. When NiMH batteries are treated this way they develop memory effect which seriously reduces their life. By the time I quit using the machine (after 9 months) the batteries would only support about 30 minutes of continuous use. The next problem happened after I upgraded the 2010c to the latest release of Windows CE, Handheld PC Pro. When you have appointments in your schedule, you usually set them up with a reminder. If the machine was off when an alert happened, it would wake up, turn the screen on and wait for you to acknowledge the alert. After a few minutes it was supposed to turn itself off. On the surface it appeared to, but I learned the hard way that it did not. Although the screen was black, taking it into a dark room revealed that it was actually glowing (on). The machine, sitting in my briefcase overnight, would stay on until it completely drained the batteries and the backup battery! This resulted in my complete loss of data three separate times. There was one instance where I could not use it when I was at a client site because of this phenomena. So I had to turn off reminders to keep this from occurring. So much for a useful PDA... Then the hinge on the case broke, and it will longer boot up except on rare occasions when Jupiter is aligned with Venus. The keyboard was bad, web surfing with the web browser extremely slow, syncing with the PC slow, and the office apps were severely limited in functionality. Little by little this experience trained me that I needed my laptop and that what I really needed was a better organizer. The unfortunate part was that others in my company liked the 2010c when I had first got it and subsequently bought them. At one time, there were five of us "WinCE" guys in the building. Today, none of them are in use. They all encountered the exact same problems. I tried a monochrome WinCE Palm-size PC next. It ended up mechanically failing. After 3 WinCE machines and being a WinCE zealot, I felt guilty buying a Palm V. What I ended up realizing was that there were several factors that were important to me: battery life, size, capabilities, wide universe of available apps, and good backlight. The Palm excelled in all of those. BTW, my wife's Casio monochrome WinCE device has been flawless and we both like it very much. IMHO, Casio makes a much higher quality device. For the price of the 2010c, I was highly disappointed.

Summary: Good stuff, comparing with many new handhelds
Review: I have a Pocket PC with a keyboard and I suffered to enter my data. Finally with this old fashion (new of 1998) I can type and do all my stuff as if I was with my desktop.
It is portable, it weights a liite more and is larger that the new thin Pockets PC but if you like to type your work it is a good intermediate solution between a Pocket PC and a Notebook

Summary: hard to get parts
Review: i just purchase this item a few days ago, it is very well design,and practicalbut it`s very hard to get components,and accsesories specially when it comes donw to software,and conecting cables.this is a good machine,but don`t make the mistake that i made by buying this with out any software,cables,pim software,and no cradle because you will not be able to get anything for this unit that easy,not even from compaq/hp parts store.

Review: I need was a mobile device. But not just mobile also must be always connect to internet to send&receive my messages. With this discount price you can not see better. You can use work,excel,ppoint,access, remote access tools, imap client, pop3 client, you can send fax message, also infared port has. And also pcmcia cart you can insert. if you compare with any other palm or pocketpc device be twice ! Because already you need a internet connect. After you bought these devices also you have to buy a modem. And size will be same almost. Screen resolution is perfect and has color. With this price don't miss. And according to me you should buy a handheld device instead of any palm or pocketpc.

Summary: EXCELENTE PC DE BOLSILLO.
Review: Para resumir mi apreciación de las 4 estrellas puedo decir a favor que es genial contar con un verdadero PC portatil, en la practica de bolsillo, ya que puedo recibir e-mail con imagenes en colores ideal para mi trabajo y con una buena resolución.Puedo preparar textos para presentaciones en la empresa ya que cuenta con un teclado practico y funcional lo que le da una gran ventaja comparativa a una Palm. El equipo funciona muy bien, aunque solo unos detalles me gustaria mejorar como la corta duración de la baterÃa y aumentar la capacidad de su memoria. Sin duda lo recomiendo con estas salvedades.

Review: The display is excellent - it's a good size and the backlighting makes it legible in most conditions (although having the backlight on really chews up the battery power). However, there appears to be a design flaw in the case. I purchased my 2010c in September 1998, and within 2 months, the plastic hinge on the left-hand side fractured, making the unit unusable. I returned the unit to the Compaq service facility, who replaced it free of charge. In May this year, the hinge on the second unit fractured in exactly the same place. I'm going to ask Compaq to replace it again, but the warranty will expire in September, so if the third one breaks, I'm out of luck. This is a high-end product with a high-end price tag: this kind of failure just shouldn't happen.
