I've been using this PDA phone for 2 years now and it's excellent! I bought TomTom GPS software for it and works great. Keeps me super organized with the calendar, contacts, and task options. I used it a lot for Nursing references and drug book. Phone-wise, can't ask for more. It uses the contacts from the contact list. Phone sound quality is nice and clear. I also like to take it jogging using the Media Player. Syncing with my Outlook is a breeze. Wifi is a nice touch for airports and while away from the computer. I didn't do the data plan with the phone, but I'm sure that would be another nice option if you like that sort of thing. Overall, very happy with the product.

I am very disappointed with this product, IPAQ 6945. Battery life is frequently less than a full day. Using WIFI, the GPS, or being out of range of a cell station will drastically lower the life of the battery. I can no longer find an extended life battery. When I originally wanted to buy an extended life battery and I wondered with the sales rep how it could fit in the current battery compartment, the rep did not know. I was afraid if I bought the battery and it did not fit I would be out of luck. The rep I spoke with on the phone could not calm my fears. A good return policy would have sufficed.

The battery that shipped with the phone did not work well with the battery life indicator in Windows Mobile. Batteries from other manufacturers reported the remaining charge more accurrately.

I did have to return the phone once for service and after we got my issue back from India or Pakistan the service was just wonderful.

Once an application is started it continues to run until the user stops it or the phone is rebooted. This seems to make the system run slower and slower. The way an applcation is stopped is to go into system settings, then into memory and click stop.

With Windows xp or equivalent I am used to frequent updates of the software. I don't see any easy way to get updates installed on my phone.
