IPAQ love (2008-05-13)
The best by far. This is my second one. I wanted a back up in case there is ever a problem.
It has everything necessary for business including wi-fi.
I love this thing!

five years later, I still think of it as the best PDA available! (2008-01-08)
When I bought it five years ago (or something like that), I thought it was the best PDA then... now, I can say it again.

It has one of the best screens I've ever seen, with VGA resolution.

It has bluetooth and Wi-fi. My only complain here is that from time to time, the Bluetooth refuses to turn on due to a "low memory" warning, that you can get rid of it by sof-reseting the device (or nor overhelming the main memory with too many small applications!).

With SD and CF, it has all the possibilities available!

And the magnesium case is great!! at least someone took a breath and actually tought, and found out that puting a plastic case on a PDA worth $600, intended for professional use, wasn't such a great idea (most of the new ones, worth that still have plastic cases!).

I have nothing but good words for it!!

This unit is great. Have had it for over a year now and it is flawless in operation. Hope they keep making it or a better updated version as time goes on. Upgraded to Windows Mob. 5 and it work fine as well. TON of memory and takes CF and SD cards. I have 1 gig ultrs in it now. Holds a TON of pictures and maps for pocketstreets, which I use often. I put a GPS card in it and and I have Navigation ability with Pocket-Streets... and yes holds and plays video and music with mob. MSplayer 10

What I like about my hx4705 (2006-10-07)
This is my fourth Windows PDA, first 3 were from Compaq.
Let me add some beneficial features which have not been mentioned:
a. It is one of two Hp iPaqs which will run Windows mobile 5.0. I found that Windows Mobile 5.0 makes wireless internet access easier and faster.
b. Be sure to use Active Sync v 4.2. Syncing is very quick over USB 2.0.
c. This device runs .Net compact framework 2.0. I build apps for it using Visual Studio 2003 & 2005.
d. I use the onboard excel app constantly and move spreadsheets between it and my PC. Running Excel natively is a huge feature for me.
e. Windows mobile 5.0 includes a media player which sounds better than the previous one. This PDA is a great digital media player.
f. I read PDF manuals using a pcoket Acrobat reader. The beautiful screen is very useful for this.
g. Pocket Streets & downloadable maps. Buy Microsoft Streets & trips and get this for free. Map display is more vivid and colorful with this release.
Summary:
This device has enormous potential which it should, given its high price.

Great spec - expensive, unreliable and no longer made (2006-08-14)
I've had one for 9 months and it's a great PDA, albeit a bit power hungry for the battery shipped. Love the screen.

But it's fragile, and when mine broke HP claimed I'd opened the case voiding the warranty (i hadn't ?!?), and wanted 270 bucks.

I don't know anyone who still has one. Shame, it was a great PDA. I've heard they're discontinued now. But you can't spend this kind of money for something that won't even make it a year.

Best choice I've made (2008-05-31)
When my palm pilot (tungsten e) died, I found out that the problem was that it was only my battery. I went to a specialized battery store and they said it would cost ~$70 to buy this battery from them. I realized that this wasn't close to a good deal, so I shopped around online. I am soooo thankful. I found this for a total of ~$17,- including shipping - and that includes directions with pictures, the screwdrivers needed to open the palm, and the battery (which turned out to be a high-capacity battery, which is even better than I expected). it was perfectly new,and was easy to solder in (yes, you do have to solder, but I am fourteen and have only soldered once before. There is already solder/flux there for you to use, so all you really need is the soldering iron (i borrowed one from a friend)The only problem that I had was closing up the case again (i didn't realize I needed to use a little force- hey, I didn't want to break it). Just be careful with the soldering iron, as it can melt the plastic case around the motherboard. Please, back up all of your data before replacing the battery.
BOTTOM LINE: I would definitely recommend buying from Osprey Talon. It's a heck of a lot better than paying $70 for the same battery.

Good battery, tricky installation (2008-02-08)
Battery installation: My husband is an electrical engineer so he wasn't afraid to tackle this problem. What's the worst that could happen? He breaks my Tungsten E and I "have" to buy a new and improved model. So, we jumped in to see if we could revive my old Palm for under twenty bucks. The installation of this battery was a little scary at times. It's rather hard to pull the old battery off the board. It's just stuck on with double stick tape but you have to pull hard and the circuit board is bending a little and we thought we were going to break something. However, it did come off and we didn't break anything. The new battery comes with double stick tape on one side but, if you glue that side down then the wires come out of the battery the opposite side from the original. We decided to glue down the side of the battery that did not have the double stick tape on it so we could match the original battery. Putting the thing back together, getting everything to line up again was mildly worrisome but not really a problem. In the end, the case snapped back togther and everything looked good as new.

Backing up your data before installing the new battery: I saw several web sights warning that you should use special software to fully backup the data on your Palm before doing this installation. I didn't do that. I just synched my Palm with my PC as usual and hoped for the best. After charging the battery overnight I turned it on and it looked like it was brand new, starting from scratch. I followed the directions on my Palm, re-aligned the pointer, re-synched with my PC and voila! everything was back to normal, exactly like before. My Outlook data was all there, the games that I had purchased were there, my menus were the same. If I had not watched my husband do this, I would not have been able to tell anything happened. I don't know if other people have lost some of their data but I was happy to find that just my usual PC synch did the trick.

That was 3 days ago. I had to charge the battery last night, after 3 days of my normal use. I honestly can't remember what the original battery was like 3 years ago to compare. So, if you are not shy about taking things apart and soldering (it's an extremely easy soldering job if you have the tool already), then I say go for it. This battery came with the mini screw drivers and printed instructions and I recommend it.

Great Deal!!! (2007-04-05)
If you're not wanting to fork out the big bucks to replace the battery in a PDA that isn't in stores anymore, but you also don't want to fork out 300+ dollars for a new one, this is your best bet. Soldering the battery is easy. Just buy a wood burning iron in the craft section at walmart for 10 bucks, it does the job nicely. the kit comes with the screwdriver you need to get those tiny screws out, which is a plus, but you will need like a flat head screw driver or something thin that you can pry open the shell with (do this slowly or you will screw up everything on the board). To get you use to soldering, just practice unsoldering the wire connected to the old battery. Remember where the wires are connected to, or you will mess up your PDA. Charge from 2-3 hours.
All in all, a great way to save money and get your money's worth out of the Tungsten E

Pc 2003 drivers don't seem to be currently available......at all (2008-09-17)
Perhaps at one time someone had a work around for this card but if it's still out there someplace I sure can't find it anywhere any longer in 2008. If your ppc still running 2002 you're fine but Belkin never released a driver for this guy for 2003, supposed to be the same as Dell's truemobile 300 but I've had no luck making it work and on a toshiba e805 your second issue is a bluetooth stack because there doesn't seem to be one built in on the us version of this pda. There are two versions of this card, version 2 has squared corners and that one works with widcomm drivers and stack but this version doesn't. I'm returning it can't find a way to get it working bought a sirf III cf gps instead, a shame because I already have a good bluetooth gps but the american 805 has only wifi no bluetooth...agggh don't believe the other reviews because if the stuff is still out there to make it work I sure can't find it. Buy it on a credit card because this seller makes a secret of his return policy....possibly more to come.

Works with PocketPC 2003 but not al functions (2007-02-20)
In Aximsite there is a Guide to use this card with PPC 2003 ( named "Bluetooth CF card for $20") and works.. but not all functions.
This is the problem with this solution :
"The PPC denies any other BT device to connect via OBEX and see my files, while the other way around works (yes, I checked all security/encryption checkboxes, nothing works). For example, I can flawlessly connect to a Nokia or Motorola BT phone and see its files, but these phones can't connect on my PPC and see my files.."

Works very well with PPC 2003 (2005-12-09)
The Drivers that comes with this unit can only work with PPC 2002 but follow the link below that will give you the step by step instructions on how to install the drivers for PPC 2003.
I use this adapter with my Axim X5 and TomTom Navigator 5 and it works perfectly.

All the best.

Great reviews but you're not being helpful (2005-09-08)
I'm one of those people stuck with this card, running windows CE and hence up the creek with NO driver. Those of you that found drivers, please tell us where you found them (links, please) or what they were called. Otherwise your reviews are not very helpful.

Thanks!

Pocket PC 2003 drivers are available, but... (2005-08-12)
Yes, the driver and registry update are available for 2003 even though the company that wrote them no longer exists. I have this card working on my Dell Axim X5. It works with my GPS receiver and my laptop. But as has been noted, Dial-Up Networking does not work. [...]

Great Solution (2008-06-06)
I have two 3635 PDA's that no longer hold a charge at all. I was skeptical if this battery would revive my Ipaq, but, to my surprise IT DID?

I installed the battery into each PDA to make sure it would power it and it did.

I've just order a 2nd battery.

I was afraid I'd have to throw away these PDA's I spend a few hundred buck a piece for. But no worry, problem solved and I've given one to the wife and one to the teenager.

Highly recommend.

Best alternative to keep your iPaq running (2005-10-17)
My Ipaq 3630 was more than three years old and the lithium-ion battery doesn't hold a charge more than a day. So I got the 2400mA replacement battery and now I can listen to my MP3 continuously for 3 hours+.
