The iPaq 2210, a suitable device, but don't expect it to do anything heavy. (HP iPaq Pocket PC H2210)

Advantages: Good processing capability, intuitive use.

Disadvantages: Crashes often, input sometimes doesn't register, not really enough SDRAM

The HP iPaq Pocket PC H2210 has served me well, i must say. with a 400MHz processor it has ample processing speed for most applications, but tends to lag if you are browsing an intensive site, or have several programs open at once.
I mainly use mine for surfing the internet, and for writing in, both of which this PDA performs excellently. The PDA has 64mb of SDRAM, which isn't loads, but the storage capability can be extended via Sdcard, or compact flash. The device doesn't have built in wireless, but i have mine set up with a Wifi compact flash card, and a 4GB SD card. The device does tend to crash frequently, but this could just be due to my heavy usage of it. It fits comfortably into your hand, and has some nice rubber/latex grips on the side, which unfortunately on mine have peeled off, one to the extent of becoming completely detached from the device. They should definitely been attached better, but they can easily be glued back on.
The screen is good, with 64k color, transflective TFT backlit 16-bit screen, and it performs well at night or in sunlight.
Typing via the on screen keyboard is easy, but sometimes pressing a virtual key doesn't register, missing out letters, or commas.
I don't really like the transcriber, hand writing based method of input, i find the screen is too small to work very well with this method.
Overall, this device is good for carrying around, and medium level tasks, but it needs more memory and easier methods of input to become a true powerhouse.

Summary: A good device, well worth purchasing if you don't want a device for heavy working.
