 $300 paper weight!, 2004-07-08
My husband bought this for me for my birthday in January. I am a pharmacy student and it comes in so handy when I work in a pharmacy. I call it my other brain. The other day while I was working at a pharmacy, it fell from the counter to the floor. It hit a rubber matted floor. The LCM (I think that is what it is called)is now broke. It looks as though liquid is oozing from the top corner. Ever store I have taken it to says it is cheaper to replace the whole unit. I called HP they said it will be 199.99 to replace plus shipping a labor. What a joke. I will buying a new one, just not an HP. If one little fall from a counter can cause such damage, it is not worth it. I am very disappointed in this product. Buyer Beware!

 Satisfied But Confused, 2004-07-01
Beautiful little machine. In the first two weeks of use, have had one synchronization glitch -- couldn't delete a web page because of a supposed file-sharing error -- but it was resolved with a soft reset. Biggest concern so far: I have dozens of questions (just one example: what is "automatic gain control"?) that aren't answered either in user's manual or on-board Help files. Guess I'll have to get them answered through a Google search. You'll need to buy a case and one thought on this: Think twice before you buy (or better yet, try it out somewhere) the Rhinoskin aluminum case. It's VERY difficult to use the PDA while it is in this case with the front open. There's simply no way to comfortably and securely get a grip on the case because the front doesn't fold back. I sent mine back and bought Rhinoskin's leather case for IPAQ 1900 Series PDAs(00366; it's hard to find on Amazon because there are few links from the IPAQ PDA pages). This case -- because the front folds back behind the PDA -- solved the problem. I originally bought the aluminum case because my PDA goes in a bike bag, but this case seems to provide protection that is almost as good.

 First time PPC user, 2004-06-25
I bought the HP Ipaq 1945 2 weeks ago and think it's an excellent product. No problem syncronising with Outlook, Word, and Excel, pretty fast. The bluetooth feature is a little bit tricky when setting up, but once you find out how, the bluetooth synchronisations are excellent.
The only drawbacks are: it does not bring a protective case, you have to get your own covers for the lcd screen and the battery lasts about 4 hours in continuos operation.
If you are looking for a simple to use device and use your standard outlook features this device is for you. It's thin and light, simple to carry around and all the info you need is right in your hand.

A word of warning, 2004-06-25
In my opinion and from experience, there is a strong flaw in this series of units - the charging/communications port. This port, though hooded, is left exposed and being a wafer-thin chip (or board, I'm not sure which) can be too easily damaged. I was very careful with my pocket pc (the cost of it was a lot for me) and had even encased it in a metal case to protect it. Two months after purchasing it, it would no longer synch with my computer and so I sent it in to HP. I received a call from them confirming that the port was indeed damaged and that since it was an integral part of the motherboard that the motherboard had to be changed. This apparently was not covered by the warranty and so I would have to pay over $200 for the replacement part. This is about 80 percent of what I had paid for the unit to begin with so I declined their service. I do not know how the port was damaged nor were they able to tell me. In any case I would avoid buying this because of this Achilles heel.

Product is too fragile for everyday use, 2004-06-16
Although the product worked as advertised, I knew I shouldn't have bought such a cheap product. After owning mine for just 6 weeks, my screen went bad. After sending it in to repair under waranty, HP told me it would have taken 50 pounds of pressure to cause the internal stress crack they saw. I know they are full of it as it was in my jacket pocket the entire time and there was no way it could have taken such a blow. I wanted to talk to an HP manager about this, but they wouldn't even return my call. Instead I kept getting a different underling and they wasted an additional 3 weeks of my time without fixing it. They wanted to charge me $199 to fix the screen and about $40 to insure the shipping back to me. Seems to me they are just trying to make double the money off the same product rather than provide a repair service.
