Summary: GREAT ALL IN ONE DEVICE
Comment: I love this. Phone works great with Tmobile Prepaid. I use it to sync Outlook and Word between home and office. It's a great note taker. For extensive notes, it works well with Bluetooth keyboard. One thing they don't tell you. In the charging cradle, it does slide show of photos with time and date. So it's a photo picture frame on your desk. GPS rocks. And it's got a voice recorder. Bluetooth works with car kit. Adequate camera. It's smaller than past Ipaqs but the screen is still visible. Love it.

Summary: HP 6945 is Great Phone
Comment: I just got my HP 6945; took chip from my T-Mobile MDA; and I was operational. Took no more time to get mail then any other Pocket PC. I installed Tom-Tom, 5-minute veterinary consult, Plumb's veterinary drugs, synchronized it with my calendar and numbers and I am in business. Using a Jabra bluetooth, I can stream my MP3's while doing everything else. The only feature missing was voice activated dialing, but I am adding MS Voice Commander to fix that. I get better reception and signal (and stability) with the HP 6945 than with my T-Mobile MDA. So, it was a great purchase. Picture quality is not what you want if you are a photographer, but it is a phone. In a pinch, a picture is still worth a thousand words. Beats carrying a phone, a camera and a PDA; since this is all in one. I find that my thumbs don't mind the keyboard, but it does take a little adapting. The numbers lock feature is nice.

Summary: had the hp 6315 since the beginning
Comment: OK folks, here is the info you have been waiting for, coming from the perspective of a hp 6315 owner:
First, ALL the bluetooth issues are resolved completely. You will no longer have to be concerned with reconnecting to headset constantly. Plus, NO MORE ECHO - thank god! the echo problem is fixed. When using the bluetooth to answer phone, it answers imediately and you can talk the second you hit the button, no delay. Headset sounds crystal clear to caller. (I don't know why all these folks are claiming they can't get their headset to pair up. I had no problem)

Second, in comparison to the 6315, this phone is greased lightening. Its all a matter of perspective, but if you owned the 6315, you will love the speed on this 6945. ie. hit the power button and it shuts right off with no delay. I would say it operates at double to triple the relative speed of the 6315.

Third, no more hangs like the old days. I have been using it non stop for 48 hours utilizing remote surveylance software, installing lots of programs, using mini sd card, streaming with wmp, using internet explorer, using mail & phone, and even running wifi bluetooth and gps - NO REBOOT REQUIRED YET. and memory bounces right back when closing programs rather than clogging up and requiring resets.

Basically, Everything that bothered you about the 6315 seems to be fixed.

Beware, to my surprise ther was NO included backup software but I installed sprite backup/restore and it works perfectly.

Yes, battery life sucks, get a car charger and get over it. Note that the bigger battery solves that problem. Alot of people are saying to get the bigger bat if you use your gps, but if you use gps you will plug into charger to keep phone from going into standby constantly so tell them to stick it:)
Note: With small Battery, I took phone off charger at 10:30am and using all features except gps under average loads (including internet surfing and streaming for an hour using wifi and gprs), it was at 62% by 4:30pm. it charged to 100% in about 30-40 min.

other Things to note:
MS voice 1.6 is AMAZING. It hasn't screwed up once. No comparison to older products.

You can now associate rings and photos to your contacts which is nice cause it pops the persons pic up when calls come in (I dont know if spb added this feature or it came with).
and this phone works perfectly on tmobile service. The only issue was internet access (I had to change the prefix on the internet server options from internet3 to wap).

SPB add on is a must!

You will have issues with screen resolution, but since win mobile 5 doesnt support the larger screen res anymore, you might as well get used to it. Plus, you know that new mobile 5 software will be modified for the newer screen sizes.

Anyway, that's about it.
In conclusion, if you have the 6315 and your thinking about an upgrade, DO IT!!!!

Summary: still the king of all smart phones
Comment: 1. Built in GPS receiver, supported by best selling PDA GPS software iGuidance. BB 8800 sucks

2. Built-in wi-fi coupling free Skype software makes International Phone call cheaper at same quality as fiber line or PC call anywhere for free.

3. Well-backlit full keyboard, easily to compose email, contact, calender, office productive applications ( not like BBs view only).

4. excellent Active link:
not only sync email, contact, calendar, photos, movies but also provide internet acess through PC;
not only sync with home PC but also Office PC plus Exchange Server.
Sync options can be set seperately

5. Excellent Medai Player with Equlizer Customizable which makes headphone output excellent sound quality

6. Very solid built, I dropped it twice onto concrete surface from 4 feet high, after reboot, every function kept working, only a tiny scratch left on it right bottom corner (hardly to see or feel)

7. Ready to throw those pricey Data Plans into garbage bin

P.S. I've used it for 5 months, and during this 5 months:
a) I never missed single phone call even when I'm in a shelter room where the signal is very weak (my sony ericsson 810i missed signal sometimes), when I'm listening to MP3 through the included headset and when I'm watching IPTV

b) I never need to reboot due to freeze. Sometimes, it does show a waiting icon for a couple of seconds, that's because it's paging out system memory in order to accommodate more application to run at the same time. There is no harm, you won't miss a call, you won't lost any data.

c) When start to sync with PC, there are a couple of seconds during which keypad or screen won't response.

Summary: Excellent device !
Comment: Finally I have an integrated device that performs very well for each of its functions. It really replaced my old pocket PC, Cell phone and GPS units so now I carry only one device. The radios are excellent (Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS and Phone) and they can work together without interferring among them. The software interfaces are intuitive and well integrated to the operating system.
The GPS sensibility and performance is outstanding, even better than a SIRF III.
The audio control is practical and you can use the included earphones (2.5 mm conector) or a bluetooth stereo headset.
My only complain is for the camera because it's way below the quality level of the device; it takes a long time to open (about 17 secs) and adquire an image (about 12 secs).

This device is worth the investment !
