Customer Review: HP iPAQ 910

Nice phone except for battery life. It needs to be charged everyday if actively used (i.e. occasional surfing, music etc.) It could last 2 days if just used to make calls. If playing music a lot it will last less than 12 hrs. Wifi and bluetooth are both enabled for me.



Satellite information needs to be downloaded before the GPS will work but it works well.

In all other aspects performs reasonable well (camera, responsiveness, sound etc)



I used it like a laptop, battery life is too poor to really use it as a mobile device.

Customer Review: Regarding the battery & GPS

This phone is a nice phone.

The screen could be bigger, but otherwise it is allright.

Most people complain about short battery life - yes, but this depends on two things: the 3G/HDSPA burns energy like a semi the gas. Raise the timeframe to check for emails.



But that is not the worst battery killer: it is the screen! Make sure, the screend turns off and not just dimms. This is not turned on by factory default.



I am beyond the 2nd day, and it still shows 57% battery power available.

That is more than the weak 1 day you have withpout the screen-turn-off-option turned on.

With just GSM/EDGE the phone was running out of power after half a day.



You will find the option under settings- system- power:there it says backlight on the bottom- now activate the "Turn off backlight if device is not used for x minutes"!





The GPS:

well Google Maps doesn't work! Ha, epic fail HP!

I am using iGo8 anyways. Works!

Make sure to let it search for the GP with these settings:

Baudrate 57600

Port 6
