User reviews Reviews van de HP iPAQ hw6510 Anita, Bilthoven Vrijdag 18 november 2005 - 14:35 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🕒 Een kwartaal in bezit Een echte mobile messenger, ondanks dat ik (nog) geen gebruik maak van GPRS maar wel van de GPS TomTom 5. Wat ik lastig vind is dat je om de twee dagen moet synchroniseren, omdat anders een speciale functionaliteit van de GPS trager gaat werken (om de twee dagen een automatische update). De ingebouwde GPS lijkt soms wat minder nauwkeurig en trager te werken (lijkt afhankelijk van plek in de auto en zal wel met zonwering te maken hebben). Ik heb geen WLAN maar bel gewoon op de ouderwetse manier via explorer en webmail. Kortom; erg tevreden!
