Pros: It's a veritable PC in your pocket! Cons: Nothing really beats working with a REAL PC.
The HP Jornada 545 may be one of the sleekest, coolest color PDA out there right now. And in my opinion, it's one with the best value for your money. It comes bundled with Microsoft Pocket Office! That itself is quite a gem. Now you can write your Word...
Pros: Connected screen protector, removable, onboard Compact Flash Media, ergonomics Cons: Screen hard to see in sunlight, moderately slow processor, only 16 MB Memory
In the summer of 2000, a new graduate (me) emerged from the public high school system. I was motivated, eager, and, above all, disorganized. I, along with my parents, decided that I could think of no better tool/graduation present to help me traverse...
Pros: Fully Functional computer in your hand. Total access to everyday life! Not just a palm. Cons: could use more memory. internet access is expensive
Ok, lets talk about the nice color screen. its everything you need when you're looking at a unit 5 hours a day. The pale green or barely backlit gray can be a bit annoying.
I like the full functionality of the unit. YES, you can view full...
Pros: Audio, video, Microsoft compatibility, software, features Cons: Durability, memory, overall compatibility, performance
Overview
I have always been an HP fan, but my experience with the Jornada 545 has shown to be an exception. However, I could have had an atypical lemon. There is a good warranty and otherwise reason to give HP the benefit of the doubt, so my...
Pros: Integration with MS Office / Outlook. Color display, Neat dictaphone feature, pretty rugged. Cons: A little heavy. Problems experienced with screen.
I've had the Jornada 545 for the past 6 months, and I haven't regretted spending $700 on it yet. All the little things that I used to wish I had handy - Internet ID's and passwords, list of insurance policies and their contact names, expenses, address...
Pros: Color, expandable, durable, a true pocket PC, synchs great with my PC Cons: Less colors than originally advertised but this didn't affect performance
I have never been a "PDA" user because they were bulky, heavy, overbuilt, black and white and more inconvenient to use than a paper calendar or laptop. Then I got my Jornada. It happened to be a 545 and while I would recommend a 548 or higher model if...
Pros: Easy to use, solid design, highly intuitive Cons: Power hungry, crashes occasionally, small RAM
I've had my Jornada 545 with me for 6 months now and feel it is the one piece of electronic equipment I can't live without. The greatest feature, or I should say features, is the amount of things I can do with this unit. Firstly, synchronizing up with...
Pros: Elegant Look, Powerful PPC, and huge memory. Cons: Still need more Memory although there is a lot already, Color, THE WEIGHT :~~(
All the while, I was so amazed that people can check thing up or connect up to internet to do some surfing using a PDA. Isn't it fascinating that u playing MSN or ICQ in the subway or bus stand while waiting? Cool.. For people like me who cant live a day...
Pros: Can download software for it off the net easy. Cons: Can't view big documents in Excel. Not enough room on the screen.
Hi,
I had a Philips Nino that ran the older version of Windows CE. After research, I found that Windows CE was going to get a face lift. Pocket PC took over the old life of the OS System that ran my Nino. I wanted to see if I would be able to...
Pros: Stable OS, Monumentous Sound, Clean Look, Fair price Cons: Cannot see screen too well in sunlight, File transfer lacks speed
People are curious to see what i have in my hand. I do lots of writing and this device is the perfect companion for me to write down ideas and thoughts. The music player connected to a speaker system is superb. With a CF card of mp3's you can use...
Pros: Can run almost any pcoket program Cons: some small glitches
After doing research on pocket pcs and palm computers, I decided on the HP Jornada 540. It has 32 megs of internal storage and 16 megs of ram, with a color display. It has a headphone jack, and headphone included. There is a build in mp3 player, a one...
Pros: Color, large memory, easy to use Cons: Expensive, low battery life
I purchased this product because it could play MP3's. No shame in that, right? I just couldn't justify spending money on something that did just that, though. So, I picked up this little device, and it has changed my life.
This was the first device...
Pros: This PDA is packed with multimedia features. Cons: The Palm is better for data management. he unit is complicated.
I love this little computer.
The HP 545Pocket PC has some obvious limitations. The 16 Ram memory is not nearly enough if you are using a flash card. The screen is not as bright as the IPaq but it is still a powerful device. When HP offered to refund...
Pros: Nice screen, good applications, good looks Cons: Limited memory, no support for IBM CF drive
Epinions / Jornada 545
After a couple of years of using Palm machines, I decided I needed something else: colour. The choices came down to Palm’s IIIc, and the Hewlett Packard Jornada 545. Given that the Jornada was only Ł50 more, and came...
Pros: Durability, scalabilty, overall software package. Cons: Needs more memory.
The HP Jornada 545 is a piece of work. I fell in love with it even before it was out on the shelves. It's durability and scalability is amazing. Compared to other PDA's of it's kind it surpasses. It's loaded with great software and can be easily...
Pros: Most usable version of WinCE to date, USB Cons: Still a little more complex to use than PalmOS platforms
I started with this type of device back with the Casio E-100 last year. The main decision points for me are color, stereo output and a compact flash slot. WinCE is still a little clunky but the PalmOS simply can't do what this can. It only has a type1 CF...
Pros: its great, nothing better! Cons: nothing bad at all!
"Is that a Palm V?" asked the lady seated across the aisle from me on an America West flight from Denver to Sacramento. "No, it's something new," I answered. But I could understand her question. At first glance, HP's new Jornada...
Pros: Quality, Size/Design, Reliable Cons: Still a difficult OS to really use effectively.
Sadly, I have chased WinCE devices around the block. Two velos, which I really liked, and now my Jornada. First the bad. It isnt the easiest to use- not even close. Ive reloaded it twice with software because the golf game got so buggy nothing else...
Pros: light weight, good color and works when you need it to work. Cons: nothing wrong with it
I bought the Jornada 545 so that I could use any place at any I have back
and it's hard for me to sit at my desk top computer for long hours so after some thought I bought the Jornada I can do word documents and more with the Jornada I do my...
Pros: Case design, CF slot, USB + RS232 interface Cons: Poor display, bad buttons, high price
I am a software developer and wrote the PacMan emulator for Microsoft's PocketPC release in April. Being a software developer working with Microsoft, I have owned and/or tested every HPC/PPC/PocketPC device and this one is at the bottom of my PocketPC...
Pros: Easy of use, lower price than casio Cons: screen resolution
I was in the market for a handheld for the first time. I looked at the palm IIIc, the hp 545, and the casio E-115. After comparing all three floor models at Circuit City my choices came down to the casio or the hp. The palm's screen was no where near...
Pros: Good picture, small size Cons: pricy, eats batteries, harder to use than a palm
I didn't purchase this product. That is the point of my review. After trying it out, i decided to replace my Palm V with a Palm Vx. I thought that the color screen would be great. But although the image quality is good and the screen is bright and...
Pros: It does everything really well Cons: Zip. None that I can see.
I've had my Jornada almost a month now, and I am still impressed and, well, still using it. You can criticize bits and pieces, but only if you're insanely picky or a die hard palm user. The screen is good, although mines a bit streaky, and adjusts for...
Pros: Color, IR port, highly configurable, comes with free return service if lost via www.returnme.com. Cons: Slightly heavier than most hand-helds, flip-top doesn't detach.
With the Jornada 545, HP has stepped up to the challenge of mobile computing with impressive style. An adjustable color display, highly modular configurability, the use of industry standard 'smart' memory and a clean integration with the MS tools (i.e.,...
Pros: breadth of functionality, good looks Cons: cost, size, platform
In the last year I have owned a Palm Vx, an HP Jornada 430se, a Cassiopeia, and my latest toy the HP Jornada 545. The HP Jornada 545 is very well engineered, and has a tremendous amount of functionality but this comes at a cost.....portability and...
Pros: Ergonomics, design, engineering, quality and features. Cons: The stylus that ships with it is not very comfortable in the hand for extended use.
Intro
I needed to purchase an upgrade/replacement for my now old and limited Compaq C120++, a first-generation CE PDA. I had the C120 for 4 years, and since I use my PDA on a daily basis, I have a very firm minimum expectation of...
Pros: Design, color, multimedia, valuable Win CE improvements Cons: The screen is not bright enough
I’ve been through two monochrome Win CE machines: the original Casio Cassiopeia clamshell-type with keyboard, and a palm-sized Philips Nino. I’ve also played (a lot) with my wife’s Palm III and friends’ Palm Vs. In fact, I was on the verge of purchasing...
Pros: Rugged, fast Cons: Poor quality screen, not quite as easy as Palm OS
I have been burned by Windows CE in the past. Microsoft's slimmed down version of Windows for handheld devices has been typified by a complex interface, sluggish performance, memory hogging and general instability. Aside from the memory hogging, I think...
Pros: COLOR, Expedia Maps, MP3, ebooks Cons: Twice as thick as Palm V, "synchs" with Outlook
If all you are looking for in a PDA is an address book and scheduler, then I think the Palm is the way to go because it's so simple. But if you are interested in something that can entertain you during dull moments or if you think you may have some...
Pros: MP3 Playback, Voice recording Cons: Data entry and user interface.
Ever since I used my first Palm Pilot I've felt that these devices would one day change the way in which we use computers. In a large sense they have. The newer generation of handheld devices can perform many of the chores that desktop computers also...
Pros: Interface, software, speed, processor, memory Cons: Backordered everywhere but HP
My boss wanted a pocket organizer, so I started researching them for him. Then my son, who's a Junior in Computer Programing decided he was tired of keeping his schedule by hand. The end result was the Jornada 548.
Pros: lots of features; cool design Cons: not enough memory; pricy
If you want a Plam Pilot then consider the HP Jornada 545 instead.
For starters it has a nice colorful screen, a sleek design in black case and great handwriting recognition. Were as with the Palms you have to learn graffti in order to write here...
Pros: Nice color screen, comes with more multimedia than PalmOS Cons: flawed OS and sync software,
I purchased my HP Jornada 545 the same weekend Microsoft debuted there PocketPC operating system. Since I am always eager to stay on the bleeding edge of technology, I decided I needed one of these devices. I ordered mine directly from HP's online store....
Pros: First true desktop extension Cons: Weight, Price
My first impression was the design of the unit. The rubbered sides and the angled edges makes holding the unit a pleasure. The cover, which is made of metal just as the rest of the unit, was also elegant and very well thought.
Pros: Color display is amazing, great to use for games, as an organizer, and for work, email and internet connectivity, sleek design Cons: Error in design limits display to 12bit instead of 16bit, pricy ($499)
About a week ago, I had the joy of finally receiving my Jornada 545, HP's color PDA containing 16MB RAM. The following review has my thoughts on this incredible product. I hope you enjoy!
Pros: Flashy Cons: Too big and heavy, too many useless and hard to use features
The HP Jornada 545 is loaded with features. Unfortunately, it doesn't do any of its many tasks very well. After only two weeks of using it, I returned it to the mega-store (thanks for the 30-day return policy!) I was lured by it's flash and sizzle, but...
Pros: solid feel, MP3 player, good inetgration with network Cons: price
I had one of HP's earlier CE devices, so I am kind of biased, I was looking for an all in one device that would let me get my e-mail, sync up my appointments, play MP3 files and more. I looked the newer Palm devices, but they didn't really reach out and...
Pros: Thin design, lots of software, hand recognition tools, USB connection Cons: PocketPC Operating system, Not-so-great stylus
I've been using a HP Jornada 430se for the last 5-6 months and recently needed to take it in for a repair. Since the 430se is a discontinued model, Best Buy gave me a new Jornada 545. Needless to say, I was as giddy as a schoolgirl and left the store...
Pros: Ease of use, applications, Quick sync time Cons: At $499 a pop, do your homework first
I am a pastor of a busy, multi-staff church. I have always wanted a device that would allow me to portably manage PIM data as well as manipulate key documents (such as message outlines, budgets, etc.) while on the move. The Jornada does exactly this,...
Pros: it has windows ce Cons: most of the ad ons aren't out yet
I think HP Jornada 545 is one of the best pocket pc that is on the market.The HP 545 is one of the only pocket pc's with color and on top of that it has windows.Microsoft has done a very good job on the looks and features like mp3's,word,excel, and the...
Pros: Handwriting recognition, Audio Books, Great color display, MP3 player, e-books, Excel, Word, Internet Explorer Cons: Active Matrix screen would have been nice
I have owned a Pilot, a Pro, and a Palm III. The time came for me to make the jump to a better screen (read as: Color) and I was ready to buy the Palm color handheld (around $450) when I came across the Jornada.
Pros: Great screen, better than earlier versions Cons: Everything else
...it's no Palm. There, I said it. I love gadgets but they must qualify for my attention by way of making my life better, being an improvement over whatever I'm currently using that I'm replacing, must be logical (the Mr. Spock in me)and...be fun to...
Pros: fast, loaded with programs, lots of memory Cons: bulky, pricey
This handheld is the best. I owne one myself, and it runs beautifully. It never lags or freezes, and it is fun to use. Although it is more expensive them the other competetors it still is by far better, and also it is a little heavier and bigger then...
Pros: Strong design; great sound Cons: Expensive, heavy, some usability concerns
The Jornada is the first CE device that I've ever seriously considered buying - but following a serious test-spin, I found it just didn't quite cut it. Weight and high prices still remain insurmountable barriers for the Jornada as well as all the other...
Pros: Diverse applications, Microsoft chutzpah Cons: Expensive
Palm PDA users? You have my attention. That’s saying a lot considering I wrote a review here damning the Palm platform (see “PDA Smackdown”). In my experience the Palm was an eclectic technological toy that wasn’t really useful as a personal...
The HP Jornada running the new PocketPC offers some nice enhancements over the Windows CE operating system, navigation seems to be a lot easier. On the surface it seems to offer features that go above and beyond PalmOS, but I have my doubts that...
Hard Krome Slash-Cut Staggered Duals Exhaust System Visually stunning in looks and performance; a combination of classic beauty and cutting edge. Doublewall technology. Feature large 2.5n++ diameter dou...
