HP iPaq HW6945 Mobile Messenger



The HP iPaq HW6945 Mobile Messenger is a complete enough movable telephone in characteristics. It has not only WiFi, one of his stronger points, but also GPS, nevertheless as far as wireless connectivity, this single one is satisfied to GPRS type EDGE, leaving of side remarkably more express HSDPA. In spite of this, we are before an equipment cuatribanda, that allows us to occupy it with any operator GSM around the planet.

Following with his capacities, it has a qwerty keyboard of unitary keys to the BlackBerry/Treo style and on them a touch screen of 240×240 pixels, also for the most dared, has a digital camera of 1,3MP with flash and Bluetooth 1,2 for synchronization. As far as hardware all their capacities are pushed by a processor Intel XScale of 416MHz and for storage of data we were with memory integrated of 64MB and an expansion slot miniSD.

In size the HW6945 is something wider than a Treo, nevertheless something thinner in profile, which brings points to favor and points against, being the first fact that their more separated keys are something to each other, to avoid errors and like point against, it occupies something more of space in your pocket, but in no case doing it uncomfortable to carry it. The keys, that although are something small, are quite comfortable to occupy, and being of plastic it even last, give an suitable feedback to us to write without seeing the keyboard, also for its use in the dark, this telephone presents/displays a subtle light under them. On its screen, we were with a protective smoked transparency, which protects to the screen of rayons in your pocket and possible blows when dropping it. This I complete is a somewhat coarse solution but it absolutely practices and effective to protect its screen LCD.

At the time of occupying the telephone, we gave the standard use him that any fanatic of the technology would give him. The data transfer in Movistar networks leaves enough that to wish as far as speed and is at those critical moments at which we missed HSDPA, in as much its clarity of loudspeaker and voice, as its capacity to detect wire nets is optimal. Nevertheless, at the time of occupying its WiFi connectivity, everything walks of wonders, we can not only also sail basic pages but heavier pages something without greater problems of speed. Bluetooth does not have problems to work, nevertheless the GPS has a great point against, and is the fact that although connectivity GPS has, software does not come including with the telephone, this means that in case of wanting to occupy it, you will have to buy maps of a third developer.

The camera is probably its lower point. Although it has flash, this is not more than a light of type lantern, that illuminates to who you photographed, but in no case it is a flash of the standard type that at the moment you know. Also and even under good illumination, the camera way takes very many in beginning, this means that if you want to remove a surprise photo, probably you will lose it. Nevertheless not only its access to the way is slow camera, but also, after pushing the capture button, you will have to hope up to three seconds so that indeed it takes the photo, increasing remarkably the probability of removing a moved photo.

Its autonomy of battery depends exclusively on its use and of which capacities we have activated. Using WiFi extensively, we can be with the single equipment extinguished after three hours, in as much if we give a moderate use him, without much WiFi, we can be found with an autonomy that even rises high by two or three days. Something that although is not superior to the present traditional telephones, in an equipment of these characteristics is completely respectable.

In conclusion the HP iPaq HW6945 Mobile Messenger is an equipment that promises enough, that in the paper it is wonderful, but that nevertheless at the time of being occupied it leaves a somewhat bitter flavor specially by the fact that even being an equipment with a very powerful processor, Windows Mobile 5 PocketPC Edition is absurdly slow for the use of somebody as impatient as the revisory present. Times of delay between given commandos and later carried out, cause that even to call by telephone sometimes it is a nightmare, in as much for the camera first disqualifies it drastically.

The iPAQ hw6515 was one of large successes of 2005/2006. The reasons are simple: very complete apparatus, reasonable price, and offers operators (Bouygues telecom in particular). The iPAQ hw6915 should be, by preserving the target of the private individuals (for the whole in one and the GPS) and of the professionals (push email, keyboard, etc…), a worthy successor. Meanwhile, competition arrived (E-TEN, Mio), and of new apparatuses are on the point of unloading (Loox), but the mark HP, the quality of the products, the excellent distribution, and especially the fame of the preceding model remain invaluable assets.

This chart resembles that of the hw6515 curiously… The weight hardly increases (a few grams) and dimensions are identical. It is noted that the screen preserves its square resolution 240x240. If the majority of the applications for summer have adapted for this format, a higher resolution (and thus a more important surface of work) would have been appreciable.

Whereas the fashion is with the miniaturization, HP made the daring choice propose PDAPhone of “standard” width. If 7cm appears correct for a PDA, that makes an especially cumbersome telephone. The thickness, relatively low, compensates for a little this impression of volume. But for the users of PDA, the catch in hand seems natural. The side buttons easily remain accessible.

The keyboard is not either an innovation. However, the manufacturer re-examined his copy and now proposes flattened keys, much more pleasant to handle. After a few moments of practice, the seizure is carried out quickly, and the various function keys facilitate the handling of the windows. Retro-lighting also evolves/moves: in dark environment, the iPAQ reveals a keyboard illuminated very well.
