HP iPAQ hw6515 Mobile Messenger review

Thursday 3 August 2006, 12:05 AM

locks up, starts GPS and drains the battery


totally unreliable. Have used 3660 and 3950 before, have now given up to use 6515. You never know if it will start again or if the GPS has started and let you down. A hard reset is a must and beware if you have not backed up after every use! I have always used it when travelling but never again - a writepad is better (or my old 3950). The camera is a joke, details in picture depends on focus and pixels. With bad focus the pixels don't matter!

Verdict

HP's iPAQ hw6515 Mobile Messenger is potentially a very useful device for mobile professionals, particularly those needing convenient navigation functionality. But its limited battery life and lack of Wi-Fi are serious drawbacks.

Typical price

£ 445

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
