In Singapore, there is rw6828 Titanium version beside Silver version. Titanium is more expensive. What are the difference? Thank you.

    I am getting sick to death and close to maximla frustration point trying to reduce my storage memory. I have almost no storage memory left, the guides say nothing but move or remove files and programs, I've spent hours and hours and even when I remove something I find I'm reverting back to minimal memory, apparently without doing anything. Lots of proramns like voice commander can't be removed. I can't even find any sensible HPiPaq help or help line

      Had this 6828 for couple of months now. So far so good except for the echo problem i m facing. Friends have been telling me they tend to hear their own voice echo.

      Is there any to fix that?

          Hi. Well read opinions about HP 6828, i recently bought 6828 limited adition. It's not that bad, yes some feature like syc with nokia contacts and uploading softwares from PC to Device are not still used. Anyway, after some time i'll be more honest to give u my opinion. Someone asked that how to use MP3 tunes as a message tune, it's simple, just copy any MP3 tume to your "windows folder" in my device and then in setting select the option "sounds & notification" in notification u can asign that mp3 tune to your incoming msg. select that option from event drop down menu. it's easy. Sometimes options are there and we don't know how to use it. Only this that's not good about it is poor power back but obviously it's juts not a mobile phone it's a PDA. Any other query pls feel free to contact at riteshydv@yahoo.com mark HP6828 in subject line pls. Yes can someone tell me how to download and run Adobe acrobat in This PDA ??

            ive been using a second hand 02 xda mini for 8 months now and its fantastic.with regards to it, turning off after a few seconds, there is a setting which you can choose from.almost all the features has settings on it.it very seldom hangs up as well.i jst realized that this hp model is similar to my o2.only diff is that the hp model has 2 mp cam and a wifi.i a interested in making this purchase.hope to read more comments on this site.

              I can confirm the sound issue, resolved by a reset, but very annoying from a phone functionality pov. Battery life seemed rather short but if i turn off bluetooth/wireless when it was not needed, kept the screen display as low as possible and made sure to kill any programs and lock the phone, battery life was substantially increased. Downers: no 3G, sound issues, hanging apps, No activesync over wireless, expensive. Uppers: Wireless networking good, minimal activesync issues, Bluetooth compatibility ok, relatively light for its size, Usb Charger.

                  Do not buy this phone, its a piece of junk. There is a serious fault with the headphone input jack which renders the device without sound. I sent to HP to fix under warranty, but same problem occurred next time I used the headphones. I have now dumped it.

                    Oh one more thing, I asked the guy who contaccted me about HP refund policy.

                    His reply is, there is no refund policy.

                    I hope I heard wrongly and repeated his sentence.

                    'Huh? HP has no refund policy???'

                    'Yeah, no refund policy.'

                    Can you believe that????

                      Problematic since day 1.

                      Contacted HP few days after getting the phone. Problems are
                      1. discoloured display
                      2. misaligned screen, sometimes solvable by repeated resets, sometimes not.
                      3. vibrating display

                      HP very simply reply is: flash your bios.

                      I flashed.

                      Din help. More problems resulted, the last straw is the lost of phone function. Not able to use the phone function because there is always no signal.

                      Called HP again. HP promised to call back but never.

                      Called HP again. HP promised to call back but never.

                      Called HP again. HP promised to call back but never.

                      Pissed, I threatened to write to the press.

                      Finally HP relented. Instead of insisting me to send in my unit, ( I crapped HP for wanting to make me send in their brand new crappy unit for them to check and service. The least they could do is to collect it from me and give me a replacement phone. But they only collected my phone after my repeated complains and threats to write to the press about their services, or rather, disservices) they collected my unit from my place.

                      Didn't know the 1to1 exchange policy of 14 days start from the day you purchased (online), not the day you got your hands on the phone. Hence if the courier took 7 days to deliver you effectively are left with 7 days. HP insisted the effective date starts from the purchase date. What the F.

                      Now, the crappy unit is still with me, with all the problems intact. HP said when the replacement unit arrived, they will exchange it with me.

                      0 points for customer service.
                      0 points for product quality.

                      Overall, disappointing.

                          Very sadly, I received this phone as a (new) warranty replacement after 4 months of begging HP to repair or replace my previous AU$800 phone, it works well and looks great EXCEPT that it locks up 4 - 5 times a day and I don't know it has locked up. Until people start screaming for me to answer the messages that have gone to voice mail as the phone has stopped working and I have been unaware.

                          Very unhappy, I will never buy another HP PDA or phone product

                                For the no sound problem, plug in your headset and turn the jack one round and unplug again.

                                    Hi, does anybody have an idea why I can't hear the sound from speakers, but everything works fine while using headphones? It's like when I unplug the headphones, the device is still in "headset mode".

                                      I've had this phone for ~ 6mths now & can't say that I'm overly impressed, having said that I've no one to blame other than myself for not doing enough research.
                                      The main issues that I am unable to reconcile myself with are;

                                      1. Very poor battery life.
                                      2. The inbuilt earpiece speaker in the phone is quite quiet & hard to listen to in noisier environments.
                                      3. The phone has a very weak vibration function when ringing (I often miss calls when I am in noisier environments).
                                      4. The colour screen is unable to be viewed outdoors easily.
                                      5. Broke my stylus - $50 bucks to replace after finally managing to find my way around HP’s pathetic website.
                                      6. Unlocking the phone requires the use of a stylus or slender fingers.
                                      7. Supplied belt clip case fell to bits < 3wks.
                                      8. Normal phone calls involve quite a laborious process.
                                      9. The phone often requires resetting.
                                      10. The phone isn’t 3G compatible & no one in Aust looks like going to edge therefore I am limited to GPRS or wireless.
                                      11. Support techs are pretty lame, my IT guys where able to give me much better answers to my questions.
                                      12. It stopped 4 no apparent reason on day & wouldn’t respond to any buttons (even start up).
