 HP iPAQ rx5915 Travel Companion December 24, 2006
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I ordered the Travel Companion on Wednesday and received it Thursday. I travel about 40% of the time and wanted to reduce my gadgets that I have to carry. This iPAQ is great. It is smaller than my Navman CoPilot GPS and is about the same size as my Dell Axim Pocket PC with GPS included. It locks in on the GPS signal much faster than my old Navman. The US and Canada pre-loaded maps will save me a bunch of time I used to spend loading maps before trips. The Tom Tom GPS software is user friendly - I like it. The maps are missing a few new roads and interchanges added to my local area in the past two years, but that also was the case for other GPS units I've used. With the HP support and upgradeable Tom Tom GPS software, this unit will be relevant for future travel use.

I was concerned at first of the reception from this device considering it had an internal antenna. I was even prepared to buy an external antenna to boost reception. I am happy to say there is no need for this since my reception has been excellent. I have not used it in a city environment but in the flat lands of florida, I have had no problems. Tom Tom is also an excellent GPS software providing clear directions. I have experienced one misdirection on Los Olas Blvd in Ft Lauderdale so tourists beware...
The PDA is great and I have successfully connected my Motorola cell phone to it for internet access. With this connection, I have had it sync with my company's exchange server for email etc. Overall, a great package. Some minor bugs but I have been pleasantly surprised at the great integration of WM 5 and Tom Tom GPS.

I have had the hp rx5915 for about a week now. It is the best gadget for someone who travels frequently. The GPS is just like the dedicated units. The portability makes it useful for car and on foot traveling. Although the gps can take a few minutes to lock on, it is still very accurate. US and Canadian maps are loaded to the onboard memory. European maps need to be purchased either on cd and downloaded or on sd memory chips from TomTom.
One drawback is that the device is very MS centric. If you use an email application other than outlook, additional software is required. Having said that, transfering data to and from the rx5915 is a snap. The mobile office tools work well with Word, Excel and Powerpoint slides. You can even view the ppt animation. Calendar, task management and pda functions work very well.
Would recommend purchasing the additional memory for use as an mp3 player or if you are going to use it as a secondary PC. Audio quality is excellent from the headset, the speaker on the back is only ok.
Battery life is very good (taken recently on a 7+ hour plane flight).
Was initially pricy, but even a week after release, the price has dropped on $100 Amazon. When you consider the cost of a PDA, GPS and an MP3 player, the price is a bargain. I Highly recommend it.

I owned it only a few days and been testing it around the area this the best thing that came for travlers in years. The Tom Tom GPS work great coem with everything you need to hook it up to a rental car and when you not using the gps it's also great in picking up my email and doing my spread sheets in excel. Then when all done you can relax with the window media when play your mp3. Only thing I wish is came with a better case to pack all the plugs and bracket for traveling and I think a good idea to buy a big SD card and extra battery. But over all great unit you won't reget it.
