What's New?
I see nothing except the gesture feature that is any improvement over the w300.. and the gesture seems to be a gimmick more than anything else. /;|
3300 for me!
I am ready! :-)... :-)...
Re: Must Have Software
Microsoft Voice Command... It makes your device a totally new animal. I wouldnt want to be without it now.
Best 39 bucks I ever spent on phone software.
Re: Wi-Fi Card
as low as 46 bucks on ebay today... the miniSD has come down to 99
Re: Where Do I Store My Music?
use a card reader and manually move them to the root of your sd/minisd card...
Re: Wi-Fi Card

Re: I NEED HELP WITH GPS
I am using delorme 2006... under GPS -> options, i am using COM7 as my GPS... thats the only way it will work!
Re: HP iPAQ - Problem Phone with Software Issues
i have had no problems with my 6515 other than minor adjustments coming from a smartphone 2003 powered phone. I usually get 2 full days use from my battery unless i am using my wi-fi MiniSD card a LOT or using the GPS extensively. I thought TMo was using the 6315 which is a horrible phone! This phone is made by HTC and is NOTHING like the 6315 that TMo sells.
Have you tried the 6510/6515 extended battery? ...
Re: We are AT&T - You will be assimilated.
I would say more of a 50's flashback... The 80's broke this up and stimulated competition ie. lower prices, more choices and innovation. I hope this doesnt give us another "walmart is coming to town" situation.
Re: forgot to add
voice command is not standard on any device... and i am told that the windows explorer is not native on WM5 but it is on PPC2003SE
Re: HP iPaq hw 6515 or HTC Wizard (8125)
the 6513 and 6315 are VERY different, look at my review of 6515 in the HP 6515 section
Re: Spare Battery
i wouldnt recommend buying knock-offs, particularly the chinese ones you find on ebay. There have been many instances of these knock-offs overheating and exploding, even while in peoples pockets.

No matter which phone you buy, immediately buy Microsoft Voice Command. It's 39 bucks that will transform any PPC into a totally new animal! :D
Re: HP iPaq hw 6515 or HTC Wizard (8125)
gee, thats tough, it depends on what you need. Both phones are GREAT the 8125 has wi-fi built in and WM5 on a non-volatile system so there is less danger of losing data although i have had no problem with the 6515. the 6515 (my personal pick) has GPS and most important for me, 2 expansion slots. 1 SD, 1 MiniSD. I have a 4GB transcend SD card and a 2GB Tecic MiniSD card. I ...
Re: turning off unit??
DO NOT do the last suggestion!!!!!!!! The memory the OS is on is volatile! if the backup battery runs dead, you will lose all of the data on your phone. put the phone in aircraft mode and hit the power button... thats as close as you will get. The new WM5 devices do not use this method of storage so you will be able to turn those off.
Re: Most amazing phone I have seen (NOT the 8125!)
it does have bluetooth, 3 mini usb ports, 1.5 or 2.5Ghz processor AND 400 Mhz processor, vga port out (you can connect to larger monitor) supposed to be out potentially by end of march :D
Re: technology is cool but............
my thoughts exactly... what a stupid waste of R&D and marketing money
Re: Most amazing phone I have seen (NOT the 8125!)
no mention of wireless technology... hmmm could it also be 3G?

Re: 2GB MiniSD ~ $80 + shipping & tax (where applicable)
forgot about frys, looks like they have lowered their prices in the last 2 years. I live in a state w/o a frys so i usually use newegg.
Re: GPS???
gps is not on this phone. it is available on the 6700, the HP ipaq 6515 and the soon to be released HP iPAQ 6915 (same as 6515 minus SDIO slot but With WM5 and WiFi)
There are so many new devices coming out right now I'd advise anyone to wait until spring or even summer if you can to give some potential bugs time to be ironed out.
Re: Pretty Sweet
I could see that being ALMOST possible... Maybe make a MiniSDIO HDD controller and appropriate power source. I am sure windows would see it with proper driver. It would make the HD removable and external which has its' potential. Imagine moving large volumes of files to it through your PCs card reader. I could see this happening quickly if there is a demand for it. I am only speaking in theory but i can see ...
Re: Cingular Customer Service BLOWS...
i am NOT impressed since the old Cingular east coast system before the merger. The customer service when i traveled west a couple of years ago sucked! They couldnt even pull up my account to help me when I was out there. Now Cingular customer service nationwide is becoming just as rude and impersonal, you have to pay a $2 fee if you want to speak with a human while paying your bill, even in a ...

Re: 8125 and AIM and other options?
AOL version 2.0X for PPC will work, they sell an AIM client for the same $20 but with AOL you can IM and read email, etc
Re: Voice Software
voice command is my fave for my PPC
Re: Usable as a PDA???
sure this IS a PDA... it also has windows media player 10 for all of your mp3s and wmas... video, etc. I have an HP 6515 and i even have full length movies on my SD card
Re: I NEED HELP WITH GPS
make sure in setup or options where the program like delorme 2006 wants to know where to find the GPS that you have it installed on COM7 which will point to your internal GPS. next make sure you have a map in a directory that your map program can find. I put mine in the root of my SD card NOT a subfolder.
Yup!
On cingular.com site now... You guys have been waiting... write some good reviews soon!
Re: really?????
I am sure the lower price will filter down to the ultimate consumer to varying degrees. This is just a move by Symbian to preserve market share because they are being 'owned' by Microsoft. Just look at the new phones that are the "Must Have" items.
Re: 8125 vs. Blackberry
the guy just wants to SELL a blackberry. My 6515 rocks, but i am anxious to hear how the 8125 does.
Re: Memory upgrade for the HP 6515!
actually there are models 6515 - 6515h (I think) The hardware is the same, the letter indicates the country/region where it is sold. In the US, it is the 6515a... The newest model is the Cingular that has the 1.12 firmware. I hope this helps.
Re: Memory upgrade for the HP 6515!
The 128MB is 64MB ROM 64MB RAM... same as it has been.... 55MB total user mem of which 12MB is iPAQ storage... there has been no 'upgrade'. PPCTechs did an awesome job for me.
Re: Memory upgrade for the HP 6515!
yeah, they have about a 5 day turnaround they offer overnight delivery when they finish if you request it... i got it done its great... tons of mem to spare now. i also got a warranty from them since the hp warranty is now void

Re: OS - Mobil 5.0??
actually it was renamed the 6915... i dunno why i used 6715... http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trur l_pagecontent?lp=fr_en&trurl=http%3a%2f%2fwww .mobinaute.com%2fmobinaute%2farticle.php%3fid %3d20050923191418
long url, but good article
Re: OS - Mobil 5.0??
i use the phone with 2003SE, trust me, you dont NEED WM5 (even though i concede it WOULD be cool) i run every program i need... an update to this phone will have WM5 and more memory and wi-fi it will be the 6715 however it will lose the full size SD slot :-(
