Ipaq PDA's

Fri Aug 16, 2002 10:48 am

Just wondering if anyone has one of the 3800 or 3900 series of Ipaq PDA's or even knows a site with a good review of them (preferably the 3900's) I've been lookin around the net trying to get some good views about them but so far have only found poor quality reviews of them. Especially interested in hearing from anyone who has one and what they think of it.

Well thats about it for now...

I have a 3835 and love it, but I may be one of the lucky ones. There are quite a number of known problems with it. I occasionally get the "light won't turn on" issue, but I just soft reset and it works fine.

I am having a problem with getting it to charge, I think the cradle may be screwed up though.

Overall, I've been pretty happy with it, but I had fewer problems with my old Palm V. On the other hand, the iPaq does a heck of a lot more too.

I get a lot of information from http://www.brighthand.com and http://www.wincecity.com. Both of them have really good forums for getting more information.
