This Compaq iPAQ 3970 Pocket PC is easy to see even in darkened rooms, all functions are user ajustable, important contacts, calendars, etc. can be stored in non-volital memory and recovered by simple reset if it freezes. My 3970 carries a large amount of info without problems for medical formularies, drug info, and coding databases. No problems, very happy with this unit. I think it is important to get very familiar with the memory allotment functions which really keeps everything operating smoothly.

In generally its very good PDA quality but with GSM jacket it has problem.

So far has done everything asked of it. It's my organiser, notepad, navigation system, and car diagnostic tool. I have one app that flattens the battery if I leave it running, which happens even if you close with the X in the corner. Price is a bit on the high side, but I havn't found anything to complain about, and I'ver been using it for 5 months now. If you buy one, note that the warranty is two years, so beware the rip of extended warranties. In two years you'll probably want a new one anyway.

I got the Compaq iPAQ 3970 Pocket PC to partner with the Ericsson T39 using Blue Tooth. The supplied apps are excellent. I am not quite used to the Pocket PC transcriber yet but getting better. The tasks are great to have on the move. I tried various telnet programs without success until Pocket TTY which worked straight off.

I'd like to get it on GPRS but the price plan is very expensive.

Nice piece of kit.
