Part 1: Video Review HP iPAQ 210

2008-03-19
hey guys it's hi Midori better front pocket calm and this is part one of the video review for the HPI 200 series I have the HPI pack 210 Enterprise handheld here I'm gonna go a little bit in through hardware in this addition on the top we have a glossy finish at the top it's really nice the only thing I don't like it's it's a fingerprint magnet it's really smudgy we have a 4-inch beautiful VGA screen here at the top it's really really nice probably the only thing I haven't liked about it is the fact that it has a little bit of a sense of feedback it it's like if it had a plastic film at the top and then the screen at the bottom so when you press something it's a little it's not that sensitive all the time and you feel some feedback when you touch it so when you try to use a thumb keyboards it's a bit complicated at the beginning at the sides we have a little bit of a metallic finish you'll also find on the iPAQ 100 series really nice and a rubberized hear feel at the bottom you notice this is a square device it doesn't have really rounded edges at the bottom so even though the device is big not as big as anybody would say but it it does really feel big in the hand because of the fact of the design probably of HP would have considered making the device a little bit rounded at the bottom that's the iPad 100 series it would have been a bit more comfortable in the pocket so what do we have here going through the different buttons available we have the power button here we have the mid like indicators here a lighting detector here which actually controls the backlight of the device one interesting thing you'll notice here and I'm trying to light it up is there's a little bit of a hole in the I HP icon which well we I could assume that probably the speaker that's at the back is linked to this or it could be something better you never know we have SD normal SD support with SDI Oh support compact flash which is really really good for the device we have a record button which is a little bit hard to press because it's really really flush into the plastic and the bottom we have the microphone jack and then we have expansion bay connectors what the manual says which is actually just your connector for USB or for charging and this is the proprietary jack that I mentioned that you have but it's really interesting that you have a mini USB connector here and I it actually takes many USB cables and it sinks in charge of with them but it doesn't bring them included in the box which is weird but well it's it's an option then we have a 3.5 millimeter audio jack which is really well welcomed because it's really hard to carry adapters all the time around we have a reset button right here at the side and it really does say reset here we have metallic feel stylus sort of the same material that's on the side its I would have expected it to be larger because of the size of the device but it's acceptable I could say it's acceptable then pretty much we have a 2200 milliamp hour battery as I mentioned before the BGA screen which is beautiful we have a Marvel px a 310 processor with 624 megahertz Wi-Fi 802 BT Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR and then probably the interesting part is if we go to settings and then we go to memory we have 256 megabytes of ROM out of which 156 mega bytes are available as I'm trying to focus here and then out of the 128 megabytes of RAM that are offered there are 79 mega bytes available pretty much my only complaint with the device as of what's been working on is HP retails this as an enterprise handheld and they they claim that the size of the device is practically because this is a laptop replacement I would have to object to that I mean I am an enterprise user and I would definitely like for something this big definitely I really want something this big in screen size but I would have love for it to be light and thin to fit enough in my pocket this is actually a pocket PC but it's it's really funny that it really fits really bad in the pocket it's really really big for the pocket we have my HDC Herald here at the side this practically the only device that I have that is just as thick but like I mentioned these round curves really do make a difference in size then just to go on with the hardware we have a calendar button here we have a start menu button we have the for movement with an action button buttons really do feel good on this device just to mention not it as opposed to the iPad 100 series we have an OK button and a male button these are actually mapable and then you can actually choose to even use these as soft keys if you want or different options I am gonna be toying with the device as it's now on pretty much my impression besides size is it's really nice it's really snappy a really powerful device I would say definitely the most powerful device Windows Mobile classic available right now and I hope you enjoy it this is pretty much it for pocket now calm
