Compaq iPAQ H3970 Pocket PC

Email on the move


By Reynolds - usenet poster


I am thinking of getting either the Compaq 3970 or the Toshiba E740, so I
can get my email while on the move. But does this Bluetooth gimmick
actually work? Will any Bluetooth phone be OK?

sure as hell i did! firstly couldn't read an ebook with media player on in
the background (however apparntly there are is a fix for this), and as
result would always crash. also had major problems using my SD card, ie
half the time it wouldn't read, resulting in the ipaq crashing again! also
did have problems with IR synching (esp when i would try and sync to another
ipaq). i bought mine from singapore a bit before it was out here, so may be
cause of that i had so many problems..

You found the 3970 buggy? That's odd - I've got one and haven't found
much in the way of bugs. There haven't been any OS upgrades yet, and
just a single patch - to solve IR 'beaming' problems.

If you said 3870, that would be a different matter...

My 3970 works fine with my Nokia 6310i.

with compaq 3970 and t39, bluetooth and gprs worked without a problem. very
useful using internet and bluetooth, while mobile in my pocket. however
found 3970 very buggy, so returned it. however these bugs may have been
ironed out though by now (had the compaq back in august).

I think he understands that since he asked about which phone. Yes, any
BTooth phone that can make data connections but the faster the better
obviously, so GPRS is probably better. BTW, check out the Pocket Loox (Looq?
sp?) which guys in my office seem to be buying at the moment.

Bluetooth links electronic equipment together i.e. PC's, printers, keyboards
etc. It can also be used to send data between PC's and handheld computer and
phones. It's not used to send e-mails on the move, that GPRS. Bluetooth has
to be 10 meters away from another compatible item to link.
