UNBOXING: HP iPAQ 910 Business Messenger [HD]

[Estelicia88]

hi i just bought one of these in spain and i cant seam to find how to change it from spanish to english, any ideas?

[ThoughtsMedia]

@Estelicia88 Unfortunately, you can't. When you buy a phone in Spain, it's meant for that market.

[Estelicia88]

@ThoughtsMedia thanks :), i guess its lucky i know spanish then

[unknowdesconocido]

how long it takes to turn on??? and you can save energy, turning off the ipaq but keep on the celphone mode??

[ThoughtsMedia]

From a cold boot? No idea - I'd guess 60 seconds or so. These phones aren't designed to be powered off...no cell phone is. As for turning off the iPaq, you'd press the power button and it puts it into a sleep mode - but the cell phone still receives calls. It's just like every other cell phone out there. :-)

Everything is Ok, but the screen is so small ...

[schultzey199369]

i was reading the specs and it said that it had (evdo) "speed" does that mean it works on alltel and how big is it compared to the motorola Q9c

thanks in advanced

[MacPowerBook]

It cannot work on Alltel as Alltel is a CDMA carrier. It works on any GSM network such as T-Mobile or AT&T. It also has EDGE and 3G, but it does not have EVDO speed since it is not a CDMA phone.

[ThoughtsMedia]

Yes, it will work with any GSM SIM card.

hi jason, would you recommend this item over the bb bold? or javelin? or are the funtions just same as those smartphones?

[ThoughtsMedia]

I've barely used the Bold, and I've never used the Javelin - so I can't advise you.

[thacosanostra]

eww 416 mhz??! the axim still has it beat lol

[bleedinge]

How does it work just using the finger?

I suppose it doesn't hold a candle to wm 6.1 smartphone, but I'd like to know, as I hate the stylus.

Did you try the java engine? Does it allow running more than one application at once?

[ThoughtsMedia]

It works OK, but not great, because it's a pretty small screen, and there's a screen bezel with makes finger-only use harder. I didn't try the Java engine.

[nuggets003]

how much dose it cost in USD

[ThoughtsMedia]

Expansys USA has them for $484 USD.

- Jason

[drjsteinberg]

can this be used in the US with verizon? (CDMA)?

[ThoughtsMedia]

No, this is a GSM phone.

- Jason

[drjsteinberg]

thanks for quick answer! Darnit! Do you know where I can get a list of the best CDMA smartphones. I heard the HTC touch pro and samsung omnia are good.

[ThoughtsMedia]

Well, because you can't run an unlocked phone on a CDMA network - they control which devices are allowed on their network - the only way to know which phones you can get is to talk to your carrier, visit their Web site, etc.

[babakers5]

How do you get so lucky? What I'm trying to say is...well, How? (LOL)

It must be so fun trying out all the new techie stuff before we do.

Great video of the phone by the way.

[nonlose]

do itouch have blutooth? and what is the differece between wifi and wireless lan.

[ThoughtsMedia]

Yes, it has Bluetooth - the sidebar text description has all the specs. WiFi and Bluetooth are very different - Bluetooth has a range of 30 feet (typically), WiFi has a range of hundreds of feet. Check out Wikipedia for full descriptions of each technology, it's too much to explain here.

[Airsofter1995]

those are 750€ in euros. I'm gonna get one :3

[jonmakcharoenwoodhi]

If you use the GPS will it charge your data plan??

[ThoughtsMedia]

No, using the GPS is free - but if you're using it with mapping software that requires downloadable content, that will need a data plan of course.

- Jason

[endospores]

How's the power output from the headphones? I have an ipaq 110 and the volume is so low that it's even hard to hear with in ear monitors in medium noise environments.

[cphellp]

JUNK ... I would never buy that phone

[lonelytigerhun]

why?

[gunkydood]

have you run a test to see how long the battery lasts?

[ThoughtsMedia]

Unfortunately, no - but the phone will be reviewed in detail over at Pocket PC Thoughts by someone else, and I'm sure he'll include battery testing information.

- Jason

[AiRjorDaNkInG23x]

wait do u keep all these phones lol

[ThoughtsMedia]

Not usually - this phone was from HP's PR people, so it will eventually be sent back...

- Jason

[AiRjorDaNkInG23x]

ohh so like all the people that have phones like do videos like thise they dont keep all the 56454570289 phones they review lmao

[ThoughtsMedia]

I can't speak for everyone, but in general with units provided by PR companies you get to keep them for a month or so, then you send them back. There are some companies that let you keep the products though...it really varies.

- Jason

[callmejosiah]

looks like a solid phone, glad to see HP releasing phones that are fully-functional and good-looking (I was always curious how long it would take HP to enter the smartphone market back when they were only making handhelds)... also nice to see these video(s) in widescreen now :).

[luimp]

What network is this phone on thanks

[ThoughtsMedia]

It's a GSM phone, so it will work on any GSM network. I'm not aware of any phone carrier in the US offering this phone though - you buy it unlocked and us it with your own SIM.
