Buzz! GOGO!

Brighthand gets to unwrap the much delayed HP iPAQ 210. They liked the large screen and ample memory, along with the units 24-pin connector and mini-USB. Also the 210 maintains a long battery life and Extensive expansion options. Onthe downside the unit is slow to start up when Wi-Fi is enabled, the digitizer is less sensitive and it has an anemic speaker.

Here is a blurb:

“A full five months after it was originally announced, HP has finally managed to ship production units of the iPAQ 210 Enterprise handheld, a very high-end device loaded with features, like a VGA screen and dual memory card slots.

Before I begin the review in earnest though, a few notes. The first is practically boilerplate by now: The device reviewed here is the iPAQ 210. The exact same device is sold through other retail channels as the iPAQ 211, and internationally as the iPAQ 212 in Asia/Pacific, and as the iPAQ 214 in Europe. All these models are physically the same, though international versions may vary in languages and other regional settings.

Second note: You’ll see a few comparisons in this review to the older Dell Axim X51v and Palm TX models. These have been the two reigning champions of the high-end handheld space, and many of the people contemplating the iPAQ 210 own one or another of them. Or in my case, both.”
