I had already bought an iPAQ hx2490 and loved it but as HP does not offer OS upgrades, I upgraded to the iPAQ 110. The 110 memory management-wise was a joke, so I looked at the iPAQ 211. HP worked with me trading up to the 211. Everything great so far.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had minor problems with the 211 all along but it generally worked fine for the first 6 months of fairly consistent use. But then the problems started &#8211; and HP still has not made any software upgrades available.<\/p>\n<p>For anyone with a Windows Mobile deivce hard resets (doing a factory reset of the OS and software) are woefully common. I&#8217;ve had to do it a couple times on the hx2490, the 110 and now the 211. But a couple months ago I had to do a hard reset on this unit and ever since the screen has been a bit out of whack. Progressively it got worse to the point of non-recognition.  I tried the screen alignment utility to align the screen. The recognition utility keeps failiing so it just goes over and over the alignment process.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve read many posts (on the HP forum and other websites) that it is a manufacturer defect of the digitizer but HP says it is not. Because of the run-around I was getting from support over the last 2 months the device fell out of warranty coverage and HP doesn&#8217;t wantto fix this issue.<\/p>\n<p>Word to the wise:  If you&#8217;re going to buy an iPAQ, at the first sign of a problem, get support to take a look at it because you don&#8217;t want to be stuck with a $400 paperweight!!!!<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I purchased the HP iPAQ Business Enterprise 211 PDA considering myself a long-time HP PDA user.
