HP iPAQ 6515 - the Übergadget?
In my quest to find a PDA that I actually need (yeah right), I've got hold of an HP iPAQ 6515 and so far I'm quite pleased with it. In particular I found it to be smaller than I expected from the pictures I'd seen - but the size is actually just right for me. The keys on the keyboard are slightly smaller that the ones on the Sony UX50 - but they seem ok to use. I really wanted a PDA with a keyboard - however small, as I still find that to be the easiest input method for writing longer texts. I hooked up Pocket Outlook to my Gmail account without any problems and so I can now check my emails from wherever I happen to be using GPRS. For me this is a major advantage because I was never able to get my UX50 to work properly with my mobile phone via Bluetooth. I mean this pairing stuff is just such a pain to get to work properly.
The only small problem with the HP 6515 seems to be the "unusual" screen-size as some programs don't yet run properly and you only get to see part of the screen - which is a pain. However it looks as though support for the square screen is growing.
Anyway, if you have any suggestions on software for the HP or tips then just leave a comment - thanks.
