Advantages: features, gps, improved styling

Disadvantages: battery life still needs improving

I finally managed to upgrade my old ipaq hw6915 to this new 914c. It still has all the same great features such as phone, gps, wifi but in a sleeker more modern handset. The windows mobile operating system is much improved and easy to use. This handset is a lot more powerful and does not seem to be as unstable as the older version.

I have always loved the tom tom gps system on these pdas and this has now upgraded to micro sd rather than mini sd which means you can use same memory cards from other modern phones. Once you get the maps on the memory card it is a breeze to use the tom tom gps. Although again you have to bear in mind the extra battery usage when implementing the gps.

The screen unfortunately is quite small - it needed a larger screen. But I like the way the retractable stylus stores neatly in the handset.

I think it's a great improvement from hp and the call features and unlocked phone are as good as ever. The keyboard is OK for the size of phone and I'm glad they improved the look and size although battery life only seems slightly improved.

Summary: massive amount of fetaures
