| By far not bad. |
| I've had it for several months. The only rediculous flaw is the speakers. They are very silent. Otherwise this pocket PC is very good including the screen and battery life. And it doesn't freeze like some others write. I would've given 5 stars had it not been the speakers. |

| large but insensitive screen; battery life issues |
I owned previously a Dell Axim 50 (produced in 2005). The ipaq 211 has larger and better screen. However, it is quite insensitive and annoying, it takes time to get used to it. It does not feel significantly faster. The worst part was that the battery was being drained overnight. Online customer service was useless. I installed the updates from hp site with no benefit. I searched the net and I found the solution of the problem which was to disable the automatic sync feature. It worked:
1. Launch ActiveSync from the Programs folder (on the Pocket PC).
2. Tap "Menu" and then tap "Add Server Source"
3. Type in a fake server address, such as 1.1.1.1. Tap Next.
4. Put anything in "User name:", "Password", and "Domain" and tap Next.
5. Tap Finish.
6. Tap "Menu" and then tap "Schedule..."
7. Select "Manually" for "Peak times:" and for "Off-peak times:"
8. Tap "OK"
9. Tap "Menu", then tap "Options"
10. Select the fake "Exchange Server" you created and tap "Delete".
11. Tap "Yes" when the message box appears. Tap Ok and exit from program.
12. Do a software reset.
I do not recommend this device. |

| Known as the 212 in Australia |
I bought this product yesturday, after owning the 111/112 for 6 months.
I absolutely LOVE the 4" screen. This is great for reading ebooks and surfing the internet.
Wifi on this product is great.
It fits snuggly in my hand and is so easy to use.
The screen has minimal glare, is great for reading in bed and is as crips as.
Awesome product.

| Stunning, but not flawless |
PROS: Overall, this product is an excellent tool for organizing both personal and business communications (i.e., E-mail, Internet, and creating office documents). Windows Mobile 6 is well equipped for easy navigation, wireless LAN connection(among other connection types), and some multi-tasking. Wireless LAN works well within the home or office environment without any problems so far. After owning this product for a month and getting the opportunity to try it out, I haven't found a single hardware problem with this device. Excellent design!
CONS: The biggest issue I have found with the device is Internet Explorer (which comes with Windows Mobile 6). Internet Explorer tends to crash a lot, and then generate a meaningless hexadecimal error code. A simple fix for this is to install Minimo (a Firefox product for mobile devices). Minimo offers tabbed browsing (which Internet Explorer for mobile hasn't done yet) without the habitual application crashes. Otherwise, all the other software works great. Overall great product! |

| Great PDA |
| I really like iPaq 211, my old Toshiba e740 battery died so it was time for a new one. I decided purchase an HP and glad I did. I'm very impress with performance of the unit. Also the 4 in. screen is very impressive. Setting up the wifi was a breeze. The only bad thing is the adapter when charging the unit, it always in the way. But overall the iPaq 211 is great |
