The HP iPaq hx2750 is HP's latest addition to pocket PC's. The overall design is sturdy and functional - the rubber grips, on the side of the phone, make it easy for users to handle the phone, along with adding a little protection in case the phone is dropped. HP has integrated many technologies, within this PDA, including a fingerprint reader - their first ever. The iPaq hx2750's 3.5-inch TFT touch screen offers clear, crisp images of your data. Whether you have the new clear screen protector open or closed you can easily see all accessible information, including existing battery life and available memory. HP ensured that there was plenty of memory on this pocket PC, with 192MB of available memory. It doesn't stop there; however, CompactFlash and SDIO / MMC slots are easily accessible for additional storage. Many PDA's have short battery life spans, between charges. However HP implemented their SpeedStep and Wireless MMX technologies to prolong battery life, for users. These technologies also increase multimedia performance. With a 624MHzXscale processor, 128MB RAM, and Microsoft Windows Mobile (Pocket PC 2003 Edition), WiFi, Bluetooth, and Serial IR - your new pocket PC is ready to use, right out-of-the-box. You immediately have access to a number of applications, like Pocket Word, Excel, Outlook, and even Internet Explorer. In addition, Credant software, ProtectTools, VPN- and WEP-enhanced security offer state-of-the-art security, and are ready for use when you open the box. The price of PDA's has not dropped dramatically, over the past few years, but the sticker price on the iPaq hx2750 is still a bit high at $549. Unfortunately this makes this phone a bit less appealing to the everyday consumer and more appealing to the business sector. All this means is that businesses have more of an opportunity to indulge in the benefits of this new PDA. Even though technologies were integrated, to increase battery life, the iPaq is still a PDA and uses extensive battery when it's turned on. If you were to turn off wireless, and all other applications, you could get an average of 4 1/2 hours of battery life (while playing media). This isn't too horrible, except that a standard work day is longer than 4 1/2 hours, and with the synchronization of email and what not, you may want to consider additional chargers and batteries. Everything, in technology, is becoming smaller and sleeker in appearance. Even thought the iPaq hx2750 is much smaller than a cell phone from years ago, it is still a bit bulky in comparison with others in the market today. The rubber guard, on the sides of the phone, adds to its already bulky dimensions of 4.7 x 3 x 0.6 inches. It's not obtrusive, but if you're looking for a light phone that's easy to conceal, this may not be the best fit. The security features and functionality, integrated into this phone, offer users a secured working atmosphere that can travel with them. As far as pocket PC's go, the HP iPaq hx2750 is a good buy providing that you don't mind spending a little more than you may have intended.
