    • Good: just like any other PDA phone... stable as compared to O2.
    • Bad: Worst ever customer service, known mechanical problems that the service centre is unable to resolve...
      TO SUMMARIZE... NOT WORTH BUYING... DON'T EVER GET INTO THIS TRAP...

    The product is known to have some defects since past few months but the company is not bothered to resolve them. In fact most of the IPAQ owners who call the support centre do not get a favorable response.... the customer support is the "WORST", I have experienced so far in my life.

    • Good: stable
    • Bad: customer service center rated very poor(1/10). i sent my ipaq to repair my speaker and received with scrates and not so friendly staff.

    bought more than a year, all OK except speaker low and camera flash not working after a few months. Now it always shuts down and always important incoming calls and when on the time and date always reset to 2006. i dont know what to do. Please anybody help me.

    • Good: - Reliable
      - Features... healps!
      - can get it cheap
    • Bad: - accessories are expensive
      - battery life isn't terrific (at least they give you a spare)
      - took me far too long to work out how to add my own ring tones :D

    Had the phone since June 07. It's been great, no problems, does what I want, nice and small for what I want, very reliable.

    • Good: Easy sync with active-sync yet to encountered syncing problem unlike O2 where I got a syncing problem with usb after some mths of usage
    • Bad: I had the same problem as user eeyoreboi who said "i also have the problem where no one can hear me and I cant hear them:-(". This problem occured whether I called land-line, nokia phones or other O2 phones. Other people with rw6828 reported same problem as what I encountered. Also rw6828 tends to reset by itself when I put into my pocket.

    Problem seems to happened after 2 mths

    • Good: Its a good phone if it didnt have that glitch which I dont know how to fix
    • Bad: Cant add anything on it if you have a Mac

    I had the phone for less then two months and the speakers just stopped working and along with everyone else that has had the problem i also have the problem where no one can hear me and I cant hear them:-(

    • Bad: can use my finger to unlock pda.
      This due the leyboard being displayed instead of a number pad as O2

    Screen smaller tha n a PDA

    • Bad: have nice impressive music software with good looking speakers but with very-very low sound

    it is excellant phone ,i have used o2 for one yaer,it is for sure better than o2.battry life is very good for one day ,i think pda phone battry is meant for one day use

    • Good: Small. Portable and easy to carry in pocket. Just like a mobile phone
