Excellent PDA, (being my first) superb for reading notes, viewing slides, great to have a replaceable battery.Great for study.Great to see HP releasing a tool rather than a multi-media toy
Just want insert an Enfora GSM card to change this to usable mobile phone.

Pros: Great sets of functions, decent speed and re-mappable keys. No silly camera.

Cons: no scroll wheel on the side,

Upgraded from a well-used and well-loved 2790, but the hi-res screen of the 200 makes it more useable and enjoyable.
A terrific device.

Pros: Beautiful screen, quick processor, hand-writing recognition seems improved, good solid feel. Great for ebooks, movies, note-taking etc etc.









Cons: Speaker volume a bit soft

About time, too! Pity HP haven't actually changed much over the hx4700, but it's still the best for my application.

Pros: Superb for portable medical reference, note-taking, and Wi-fi
Beautiful screen
Expect good battery life with 2200 mAh
Doesn't include unnecessary items (phone, GPS)

Cons: How's it an advance on the hx4700?
Far too little inbuilt memory - will probably struggle, like the hx4700, with medical programs and pdfs
Given its old tech, could be cheaper
