Good

The good: Excellent battery life; good keypad; lots of connectivity options; bundled GPS maps.

The bad: Design not great; too expensive; lack of software enhancements; less-than-perfect voice quality.

The bottom line: A no-nonsense PDA-phone that will get the job done. But with other less-expensive options out there with more features, it's hard to recommend this HP iPaq.

Excellent pda/phone

Sep 8, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Processor speed, Build Quality, Sound Quality, Keyboard, battery life, overall feel
Cons: Only one mini usb port
Opinion:
I have had the 914c for 3 weeks now and find it a joy to use. It is very responsive even with what I thought was a slow processor (Marvell PXA270 Processor 416 MHz) I had the 614C beforehand which had a 520Mhz processor which was slower. The overal feel of it is great the keyboard is excellent and the call quality is super. Battery life is good I only charge it once per day and I have it connected to my car via bluetooth all day! I was looking at all pda/phones on the market and this in my opinion was the best option. It's also my first qwerty PDA.
