Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of HP iPAQ RX3115 Pocket PC

Customer Review: Excellent Multi-purpose Pocket PC
Summary: 5 Stars

I purchased my IPaq RX3115 more than 2 1/2 years ago, and it has been well worth the money I paid for it ($200 on clearance! I didn't know what a good deal I was getting).
I had lost a lot of paper planners and notepads, mainly because they were boring and I didn't care about them. It took some convincing, but my wife finally gave in to my claim that I wouldn't lose a planner that was actually fun to have with me. She thought it was just an expensive toy, but it has proven to be extremely versatile and worth the expense.

Here are some things I have managed to use my IPaq for:
* Wireless web surfing (more or less - some javascript and Flash pages have major issues).
* E-mail - Gmail works well if you bookmark a link to the "html" version of the page instead of the default "mobile" version.
* MP3 playing
* Pocket Quicken - money management
* Python programming - I have version 2.4 installed, but 2.5 is available.
* Podcast downloading via wireless internet (I wrote my own Python podcast reciever, but there are now others available).
* Blog reading - Google Reader mobile works great
* Bible software
* Games
* Skype (It didn't work very well, but might be useful in an emergency)
* Listpro - I keep my schedule as a to-do list
* Voice recording
* Bluetooth file transfers
* Notetaking in Pocket Word (I have a portable keyboard)
* Drawing (there's a pretty nifty little paint program included in the Windows directory).
* FTP and SSH (for web development)
* Document reading using Acrobat Reader
* Printing to an HP Laserjet printer

Suggestions:
* With a little help from Google, you can find out how to fix the start-up screen so that it looks like a normal Today screen.
* Download a program called "Magic Button" to be able easily switch programs and actually close programs (instead of minimizing them).
* You will also want to install a program called Total Commander. It includes a much better file explorer, a notepad text editor program, and the ability to work with ZIP files.
* Make sure to use the HP Backup software, as the device will at some point inevitably crash. Mine has gone totally dead three times. Removing and reinstalling the battery and then charging on the wall charger a full day, plus a hard reset and then a restore from backup file, revived it all three times.
* Also, be sure to purchase an aluminum case for it. I've heard of the screens breaking, but mine has been fine.
* If the memory keeps running out on you, be sure to clear the Internet Explorer cache.
* Make sure to install all large programs to your storage card instead of main memory. Save main memory for programs you always need on hand, no matter what card is in the slot.

My Ipaq has been reliable, useful, and fun. I love that I can program Python on it, so that if I can't find a program that does what I want, I can probably just write it. In its case it is sturdy. I can access the internet anywhere I can get a wireless signal. And, it's almost three years old, now--who would have thought! When my HP RX3115 finally bites the dust, I intend to buy another RX3115.
