- Be Careful
I have a similar unit and for the most part it works OK.However, HP decided to use only a SD expansion slot.Very few accessories go into this slot.Most accessories require a larger CF slot which some of the competition offer on their units.For HP you must by a CF slot accessory + the GPS unit or camera, etc.
Rating: - You'll keep on paying.
In my experience, the problem with Ipaq has been reliability. I bought top-of-the-line at a cost which should have provided me equipment that would work. First the little spring that holds the stylus in place gave out. HP/Compaq did cover this by stretching the warranty, so the only cost to me was the hassle and a couple of replacement styluses at $5 a pop. Then the battery died, after I'd had the unit for about 18 months. What was really distressing was the refusal on the part of the service "support" ... Read More
Rating: - 2 Month User
I've had the Palm III, Palm V, Palm VII, and a BlackBerry so I consider myself a long-time PDA user. I've had the 3975 for about 2 months; here are my observations.
- Screen is the best I've seen, in all types of lighting.
- Battery life is good, but you can not swap out the battery, it is rechargable.
- The ac adapter used for charging comes with a small "adapter" that is needed to charge the device when the cradle is not used, e.g. when traveling. On a recent trip, I brought the charger ... Read More
Rating: - Palm OS is better
This device has a nice screen and sleek design and a fast processor.I don't like the OS very well.It wasn't as versatile as I was expecting with reading and recognizing file type that Windows 98 or XP reads (ex: .mpeg and some .exe)I was expecting it to be more like Windows on my PC.I don't like that you can't put icons on your desktop with the IPAQ.You can with Palm OS.When you close a program on this device it's still running in the background so you have to go back in and dig to close things ...

- How did I ever Live without this
We all know that a PDA is a life changing device (just buy one and you'll see)... but this little baby is more than just email, schedule, and contacts.With Pocket Word & Pocket Excel it makes storing and editing popular format files extremely simple.Add to that limitless possibilities of expansions, CF, PCMCIA, GPS... Then with the already integrated SD and bluetooth... you have the head & shoulders above the rest... BEST PDA ON THE MARKET
