hey this is Jaime Rivera from parking one of the video review for the HP ipaq 900 series business messenger we talked in the unboxing I have a 9 10 device here really nice i like the chrome finishes on the side i like the glossy finish up front in the rubberized feel at the back the only problem is it's a really nice fingerprint magnet it's really hard to keep it clean so you probably have to get used to that what do we have here will we have a camera button here on the side which tends to be a bit uncomfortable because the camera actually opens in landscape as the screen is so you press it here and then you have to press here on the bottom you don't really hold it to the side like a typical camera and press the button on other devices we have an okay pond here in a scroll wheel with a pressing enter button which is really neat really nice to feel on the right side really comfortable interestingly this I pack holds an external gps antenna connector something really not comment on nuke on windows mobile devices which is it's okay we have a reset button at the top non-conventional but it's there we have a power button at the top also we have a up and down keys for volume and then we have a voice commander button this is not voice command it's not installed but you can add it also if you want to we have a flap here for external storage which is good I like for it to be covered the only thing i don't like about this flap here is where you charge it here at the bottom and you put your headphones if you notice when you place the connector in the flap will remain tilt it this way which at some point in time I believe will end up breaking probably after a year of usage a bit uncomfortable don't like that but you have to deal with its hardware the microphone is here at the bottom and then at the top we have LED lights and we have the speaker here at the top in the back we have a mirror flash really nice and a three-point Oh megapixel camera and the speaker here at the back sound quality on the ipaq is as other HP users have expected it's not really that good obviously if you compare it to your Q holding stereo speakers don't expect it to be the best as the cube but it's not really as good as eyes I'd expect if i use my leather cover which was not include at the bar one if i use it i rarely hear the ipaq ring so i have to actually leave it on vibrate ring and the speakerphone quality when you talk is not really as good as I'd expect but I do believe this is probably a software issue that could be dealt with another rom update we have a 2.4 inch screen here at the top and then we have this really lovely cure the keyboard here up front with sin and calendar this would be the mail start many okay and soft key buttons I like the d-pad it really probably doesn't look as nice as other devices but I like the fact that it's not metallic finished which is good because mostly other devices would have the problem that this would fade off with time and it would leave the device looking really bad interestingly we have this metallic hinges here in the middle this would probably just be design aspects just to make the device look a bit more elegant like the blackberry bold is somebody mentioned in the form but I really do consider them to be unnecessary and a bit uncomfortable when you type on the keyboard as I will probably show for example we have one note mobile which is included here if I try to type the quick ouch brown fox jumps over the lazy dog I would have preferred instead of these metallic hinges probably a little bit of separation between the keys if they're not big enough I would have probably enjoyed them to be separate but when I press the keys I feel the metal and it really makes the keyboard a bit uncomfortable you have to get used to it i would consider that probably after a week of constant usage you would probably get used to it and like it but then again like i said it does bring a little bit of elegance into the device if it if that would be a point i do like for example if you notice here on the keyboard and I'm trying to focus here we have a shift we have a symbol and then we have a tap on which you're not really the symbol in the tab button are not really comment on other windows mobile devices probably one thing I would ask hardware manufacturers is guys please do as a favor and try to keep the layout on keyboards to be the same it's really a to not have a backspace key on the q and and have it here it's a good addition but then we have the ship on on the other side on the other device but then this one has it here and it kind of makes it uncomfortable to get used to keyboard so try to keep a standard layout if you will one of the things i will like about this and i'm going to try to turn this back on here on one note is for example what's the point about the symbol button it doesn't really bring a symbol pad aside what it does is for example if you're from latin america and you want the special and we use here you press the letter and as i do here and then press a symbol pad and you get the special end if you want a registered trademark key you press the are here and then press the symbol pad and then you get the registered trademark icon there which is really nice one of the things i like is for example if you press the function button you'll notice that the SI p keyboard here gives you an indicator and then if i press the if i press the shift button you do get another indicator which are really nice additions and really let you know where you're standing while you're typing these are really really neat additions here one of the things i have noticed is that there aren't any options if you go to settings and you try to assign different keys to these you can assign only one option as opposed to the ipaq 100 and 200 series where you can choose up to two different options for the device how do you turn on and off the device where you can use the key at the top or you can also use the end key and then one of the things that is pretty nice is that if we go to settings here and i'm going to i'm going to try to show you something here we go two buttons here and then we go to the lock option we have a key lock option here that ill enable you that every time that you turn enable keyguard which is right here so if i would turn the device off and then turn it back on it would send me to a keyguard that would ask me to press the two soft keys on the side if i want to release it from being locked really nice probably one of the only things i'm missing here is the stylist pay at the bottom I love styluses to be at the bottom probably the only thing I've noticed is look at the size of this thing it's really big you actually don't even need for it to be collapsible it's actually larger than the HTC touch stylus but well it's a glutton it's nice and it's really lovely that you don't really have to be extending it though it does extend itself when you pull it out it's not magnetic or anything but it's really nice and then the bladder e flap is here at the bottom and it's really comfortable feels really good and it does really give to this the device a nice feel not heavy not too big it does really heat up at some points in some points in time when you charge it or things these are really things that HP has to consider with the roms so this is pretty much it for the hardware aspects of the device if you have any any questions or any things you like for me to go through let me know and we'll continue on in the part 2 of the video review for the HP ipaq 900 series for HP
