Aug 29, 2008

Rating: 4 out of 10 (Mediocre)
Pros: Good Internet connection,camera good,navigator good,
Cons: Hangs for no reason,no update from official HP side,ring tone very bad,sms alert bad,user friendly no,battery oh my gosh,
Opinion:
The brand "HP" supposed to carry the weight but a big NO.This is the first smart phone i got at RM1999.The experiance i received makes me feel my old motorola L6 was much better.First of all I went to HP official site to know who are the reseller and bought from them.Its been 2 weeks since i got the phone and not happy at all for the price i paid.It hangs,hangs and hangs.Sometimes when i received call it rings then stop,rings then stop as thou the system going hay wire.So i have to reset many times.Its has put me to shame in front of my customer whenever it hangs and there are times I can't close the programms,every time i close ,it pop out again.Thinking it been infected with virus, i downloaded kapersky free mobile antivirus but no virus was detected .The best part would be there not even a single update from HP official site.They only have for HP IPAQ 600.This is the second Hp product i bought.My PC works well and there's even full support from the Hp site. I am rather dissapointed.

I'm not sure, but sometimes user installed programs will cause such problems, as in software incompatibility. If you've installed 3rd party programs, try uninstalling them 1 by 1 to see if the problems persist.

So far i've also faced problem and it was caused by CE Star, you should have a go at testing SW if you've installed any.

Cheers!

Hi thanks for the response.The only third party software i installed came together with the set was Mapking Gps Software.My Pc detect it as trojan virus whenever i scanned.Doesn't make sense why Hp need to provide something with virus.I will uninstalled from my Hp and see what happens.thanks bro
