Aximsiteactivesyncicon HP iPaq RW6828.

Any users out there with a RW6828? How has your experience been like? I am thinking of getting one...I am planning to get rid of my X51v, although I LOVE the VGA screen...

Hear from you soon.

Hmm ... attractive looking - but the reviews say it's battery life is short.

Just some clarifications:

1). The unit does have WiFi B.
2). The BT is 1.2 but it also has A2DP profile.

This is gonna be MY FIRST convergence device...before, I really hesitated to get one mainly because of features...I come from using Axim x50v and x51v...However, I am willing to give it a try...although it doesn't have the latest and greatest.

-----------------------
Anyway, after one day of usage, I am quite happy with the unit.

Pros:
- WM5 runs smoothly and quickly
- screen is very clear and its QVGA screen isn't as bad as I thought (with the X51v in mind)
- WiFi and Bluetooth work very well; paired with i-Tech Clip R35 and streams MP3s no problem (no skipping too)
- the phone has good reception (comparable with my SE K790a)

Cons:
- charged to 100% last night; drained to 65% today afternoon (with 31mins. talk time and screen brightness set to very low)
- low ringtone volume
- 2MP camera -> picture quality is so-so

I read in some forums that the ActiveSync hack ... i.e. setting ActiveSync to Manual ... helps.

Does the lastest ROM released in 1-Nov help? I think it is 1.01.03. Check out the link:

I upgraded to 1.01.03 ROM since the first day...so far, I love the machine as it does exactly what I want.

I didn't bother with the ActiveSync Hack...I will look it up after...however, the machine does not turn on by itself; not unless if there's a phone call or an upcoming appointment.
