HP iPAQ rx5900 Travel Companion .. Opinions


The HP PDA+GPS ( HP iPAQ rx5900 Travel Companion) its a known model in the market , but not to me .

I do plan to buy one , and until now the positives looks to be more than the negatives .. ( battery consumption at the GPS function ) .

What is your opinion about it ? and the HP support on PDAs .

Thanks in advance .

Well on EBAY , there is some HP refurbished units on good price .

And to be honest , i have sent one "Best offer" message , on the Ebay seller.

But because there is still time , i liked to know more details , not that much about the tecnical specs , but about usability issues, and also about the HP after sales service " behavior " .
