This is by far the worst hp i have ever got in my life!! I will never ever get another HP phone ever again. I know they have good printers, but phone is definitely not their sector. I thought having hp phone means they can handle the technical support in LA, but apparently they cannot do that because I bought it in asia.
Anyway here are the big weaknesses:
- weak reception
- very low volume for ringtone
- very soft speaker phone
- fragile stylus
- soft sound in the ear
- problem with the handsfree
- using bluetooth wireless headset could be a problem since it sometimes gives major static
- weak wife signal
Good side:
- small PDA
- pretty good design
So you still wanna get HP??
i HIGHLY suggest HTC

Got lots of problems like Low ringing volume and also the phone gets stalled a lot which requires to me reboot the device every other day. Battery life is not good either. Basically the phone will last you a day if you also use it to listen to mp3. The sound quality using headphones playing mp3s is also very poor. I do not recommend purchasing this phone. HP hasnt even released a new rom update for this phone since Dec 2006. Poor support!!!

I've bought ipaq 6828 in late September 2007, so far not much troubles i've got through. The main weakness are the ring tones volumes too low, it didn't have mp3 ring tone for message come in, very weak radio/wifi signals reception and the digital camera didn't have brightness adjustment.
Other things are okay as basic cheap level entry pocket pc phone for the beginner. RAM memories management are quite important to do at least once a day if you want to have a smooth pda experience. Always delete temporary files/history in internet explorer, stop [ close ] unused programmes, save important webpage via saving url in favorite and always saving the file in memory card option.
At the beginning, the undeletable sound file that produce by sound recorder or radio recorder give an headache to me but easily being solve by stop the note programme because the sound recorder/player are inbedded in that programme.
The most frustrating event was wifi connection jammed with no connecting function although all other programmes work properly, i've solve it by soft reset that mean to pull out battery.
Knowing my ipaq 6828 are not the super pda around but it still the best for me to write an article and smoothly send it via e-mail. I'm also very found to write a diaries in notes programmes but sadly there's are no free .pwi viewer/writer compatible in pc format.
The frustated new users or buyers of this phone please calm down and relax if your ipaq give a problems, always refers to the internet to solve the problems. My other advices, always carefully chosen the
compatible file mp3/movie format that easily read and play by this phone. The pda also can play the sound file that being amplified via sound editor.

Same problem as Bacha . . . cannot charge the phone reliably. Put it on charge all night - next morning 10% charge only. Will not charge from car adapter - at best will hold charge only. From other emails, suspect that the USB connection problem is a design fault. Will be replacing it with another brand asap.

the most stupid device one can imagine. I have been using it for over 4 months but with continuous problems. Mine one has stopped charging itself. sometimes it decides to get charged but most of the time all indications shaow it being charged but when removed from external source it gives warning of battery and goes off. I got the battery checked ... it is allright.NEVER EVER BUY THIS DEVICE. Those favouring this are probably employees of hp for promoting this dam thing

Guys
U name it u have it in this phone...I bought this phone 5 months back and it is going great.
Inspite of a powerful processor (416Mhz) and a big LCD it gives a decent battry backup (4+ hrs).
Play videos,song,camera...etc. it works without bugging you...but make sure u close the application after use.
Think before u invest 25K...if u really need it ...go on

manhal, download Adobe acrobat Pocket PC version. If that doesn't work, try Foxit Reader. Just google it in the internet and download the program.
