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!
