HP iPAQ 6515While I have seen discussions fall on both sides for the HP iPAQ 6515, I’ll tell you the first glaring item I noticed with this unit was its price! With prices well more than any other PDA’s I’ve seen along with comparable features and a couple of horror stories, I’d be wary of buying this one outright.To start off, the benefits of HP are standard. The 6515 is a Windows based system, so you’ve got very positive notes on accessibility and compatibility. The GPS system in this unit in particular got high marks. With 64MB of RAM as well as a 312 MHz Intel XScale processor, the 6515 flanks itself fairly safely. The HP iPAQ 6515 also supports SD and mini SD memory cards for further expansion and utility. It also offers a QWERTY key board for text entry. There is also a 1.3 mega pixel camera included in the 6515 model PDA from HP. But there is a far more sinister side to this unit. One reviewer put it well when, after acknowledging all the benefits, they said “so why does this machine leave us wanting more?” Another reviewer brought some arguments into sharper focus calling it “bulky” and accusing the unit of “dropping calls…with a fragile rear case cover which breaks…causing the unit to reset.” …Not a very cool feature as far as they go. Even the positive reviews said equally as much. One reviewer, basically giving the 6515 a thumbs up said “it resets itself very much; speed is slow when two applications are open.” Processor speed is another thing that got a mixed bag. While Intel is a well known company, apparently the design on this unit left folks wanting more. The speed is slow leaving people yearning faster reaction. When it comes to powering up your unit, there have been mixed marks for the HP iPAQ 6515 and the battery life. If you’re just using it on standby or to receive calls, battery life isn’t in the discussion. But apparently any advanced applications hit this unit particularly hard. There are cases for your 6515 from HP. If you’re looking for an aluminum case for your HP iPAQ 6515 PDA, feel free to check the online stores or your local retailer. There are plenty of choices for you to find just the right case for your needs. The verdict is in; the judges have spoken; the reception is mixed. The HP iPAQ 6515 PDA scores well in some areas and not so well in others; you should do all the investigation you need until you’re certain of this machines merits.
