Good idea, let down by execution and battery life


I purchased one of these devices two months ago, after using Blackberries for years. I find the software OK and full featured, but it has appalling battery life. The GPS system on my device failed after a month and I have returned it to HP, so far they have had the device for a month and have retuned it once in a worse state than when I sent it in for repair. Given that support is a crucial feature for these devices when choosing to roll them out corporately, I cannot recommend this. I am still waiting for the device to be returned! When I had problems with the Blackberry the turnaround was one to three days. It is when products fail that you learn the most and I have not been impressed.
