Pity about windows mobile... c'mon guys you can do better than this.
I have tested 2 of these devices and while it has some good features the battery life was shocking! I don't know how the reviewer or HP get 3-4 Days of battery life. The two I have tested last a little over 12 hours and other than email and the occasional phone call nothing else was being used on it. WiFi and 3G where not connected
The good: Has Office etc
The bad: Battery Life was shocking. The scroll wheel is on the left hand side of the device compared to BlackBerry right hand side. Allot easer to navigate with an old BlackBerry than this device
i added some software to overcome the limit of windows mobile 6.0, turn this model to work perfect for me
The good: 1. excellent for networking, 2. smart wheel feature (stylus free) 3. powerful processor speed 4. A-GPS function 5. strong battery and big display
The bad: 1. camera output (saturation problem) 2. speaker location 3. memory card slot (hidden)
Purchased 612c direct from HP. Bad mistake!!
Sound from speaker is totally inadiquate for GPS navigation. Useless as speaker phone! Only one port so cannot use headphones while in case as you need the mini USB for power while using navigation. Designers need head transpLANT AND hp WON'T REFUND MONEY AND CANNOT IMPROVE SOUND. Other problems as well.
The good: Could not find any - maybe paperweight
The bad: Too many to list
Oh, what can be a bad with u if u buy it. it will unfortune for u...
I bought it and enjoy no tast i thought..., very little apps install in it.

Once again the whole thing is let down by a tiny display. Yes I know you think 2.8" is huge but it's not.
The good: Battery life
The bad: Small memory small display camera speed
