Instructions October 13, 2007
HP iPAQ rx5915 Travel Companion with GPSThis is a very nice unit. The instructions leave a lot to be desired. I still haven't figured out how to use the navigation system.

I bought it in late January from Amazon and it has been "dead" more days than it hasn't. I've had it to the HP service center, and they supposedly replaced the motherboard. Now, it will not boot, and I have to start the whole process over. I have requested a refund (admittedly months later) from Amazon, but to no avail they want me to work through sending it back to HP etc. etc. etc. You've been there...I think we're just asking too much of PDAs to be GPSs etc. I will say that everyone has been "nice" to talk to (both Amazon and HP) but as an entrepreneur, I have wasted a "man-week" (at least) trying to get this to work for me. If anyone has any suggestions please call me (208-921-5073). I'm a routine buyer from Amazon...but if I had bought it at COMPUSA, I would have had this resolved by now! Shame on me for "saving a few" bucks...
Needless to say, if you want a GPS, buy a GPS. If you want a PDA, do not buy this IPAQ...just NOT THERE, YET! I don't really care about "return policies"...TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMER!!! If you don't you will lose them...one at a time!!!
Make me an offer for a "dead IPAQ"...PLEASE!

Some suggestions which might help to run your HP FASTER. September 17, 2007

It is a fantastic gadget, but there are few things that you need to know to make this gadget work well.
1. The microsoft activesync 4.2 doesnot work, download microsoft activesync 4.5 from microsoft website it is free and workes better than 4.2 version, and it syncs readily.
2. The GPS will lock readily if you download the freeware from HP website and install it, also new tomtom maps are available from HP website download it and install it, after instaling the maps re-install the firmware update, then doanload daylight fix time and install it, it helps to speed-up the gps, and gps locks within 30 seconds.
3. GPS should work fine with above installations, if it doesnot then you can try external antenna, i have not tried it personally but I have been told that it helps locking gps quickly.
The day i bought it HP launched tons of new PDA phones with gps and cameras init, I hope they will be on microsoft mobile 6.0 and mor advanced, but for now this little tool is awesome and good to go.
Hope this review helped, good luck.

I've used Ipaq's before and to have GPS and wireless interet now is great. I haven't had to use the manual yet. The TomTom software and system was easy to figure out. The directions have been right on. Fits in my purse, has my music, works for me. If only my Groupwise would sync without having to buy more software, it'd be perfect.

My rating for this item is very low as I have not been able to use it yet as a GPS device. I never managed to get it to workk properly. Following HP phone support I upgraded firmware and maps. But behavior was still erratic. I shipped it back to HP in early August under HP instructions. It worked properly for a couple of days when I received it back but has started to behave erratically again and it is going to be shipped back to HP again....
To say I am not satisfied is an understatement !
