Compaq iPAQ 3670 Color Pocket PC

I must say, for such a ...piece of equipment, this device is not made very well. Before I purchased the Compaq, I owned a Palm V. Whereas the Palm never failed me, in less than a year of ownership, the Compaq has developed several problems:* My Compaq has fried its memory repeatedly* The stylus no longer clicks into place, that mechanism has apparently broken.* The silver coating is coming upThe color screen is nice, but doesn't make up for the headache or the cost. I wish I'd just purchased another Palm V when my last one was stolen.

It would not have needet system software upgrade, de older original CE system would likely have been a bit more reliable. Except filesys errors locking the device for hardware reset when handling files larger then 1-2 MegaBytes, there is not much interference with my work.

My Compaq Ipaq has always worked for me. Mine was actually from my grandfather, he won it. It's got very little memory, 16 MB, but it has a slot for an SD card. Overall, I like the system. All the parts are working fine now after a few years. The battery life is somewhere around five hours. I like the size, but the problem is you can't carry it around with much memory unless you use the expanison (memory card) pack, which makes it bulky and heavy. However, it has good graphics (it supports lots of free or shareware games), can be used as an mp3 player, typewriter/laptop, and is good for just a calendar or memo organizer. I think it's a good buy.

this is a well designed device. at first sight, it may seem a bit pricey. however, when you consider the cost of other PDA's which you might purchase, then discard before you come back around to this ipaq, it's [a good price]. i had a jornada, thanks but no thanks, i'll take my 3670.

Compaq has a winner here in the base technology but it needs a tune-up big time (which is happening as we 'sync').Summarily, you get a cool little computer with a stubborn streak and a big mouth that can thankfully be turned down, with MUCH more space and operational capacity than a Palm, but still not enough for most people to call it Home.Thanks to the back light, you can actually >see< the information, which is a clever bonus. Unlike some PDAs, there is no drab olive-green screen to twist your eyes into pretzels. Its like you're in a little office with the flourescents on.The 'sync' software works (ok), just don't expect any pampering like the Palm people gave us with their one-button push sync. You'll work for this peanut, baby. It has the distinct flavor of rushed-out backroom benchmarking.But after several knock-down drag-outs you'll (hopefully) find your feet and eventually get your Purple Heart, and then you're ok; you become VALIDATED, a part of the GREAT-SYNC legion - a surviving Groto of the IPAQ challenge, the strong, the proud, the survivors. Or else you'll have a _________ yard-sale or throw it in the trash (I dare you.)So go ahead and stick MS Outlook in the Start-Up menu, cause she's a legend in her own mind and hates to be left out of the fuss (sync loop), (this is one thing, among others, they don't mention).If you get through the software installation, wait 30 or 60 seconds til blastoff, and make a connection, you might actually get to build a working relationship or two..but don't get comfortable. LOL.Hey, why can't the Compaq people invite the Palm people to a pool party, and let them explain how to make (like they did A LONG TIME AGO!!!) that INGENIOUS ONE-TOUCH SYNC BUTTON and that TOTALLY FUNCTIONAL (AND PRETTY) PALM DESK-TOP SOFTWARE, that makes you the king of your castle, not a serf in a wrestle.The bad news: you just heard some.The good news: It's a buyer's market baby on the 3670 due to the yard sales from the frustrated and upgraders - and after all, it is a cool little computer. So why not test your skills and pick one up?Take a hint from Nike..JUST DO IT!!!!!!

This is a great unit. It would be nice if it could store the CF cards internally. Great features at a somewhat high price. Had a Palm V before this. The Pocket PC software offers far more features! Worth the extra $$$

The Compaq iPAQ H3670 Color Pocket PCby Compaq Is too realistic to handle. It has most of the same features as a standard laptop, or PC. I think it is great to have and comes in handy when you least expect it too.

The Compaq Ipaq 3670 is very useful , i wrote a spreedshett in exel and all the time i need a new price comparition it performs all the operations instantly .Alexandre Weber Santos - S.P. Brazil
