Hi all,

In June my Jornada suffered a broken LCD so I waited few weeks and bought the 2215 (and screen insurance from Office Depot).

My wife has the 1910, so I was expecting the screen to be a big improvement. However, after a couple of weeks I am happy to report the 2215 has pleasantly suprised me in the following ways.

1) Speed

Wow, this thing is fast! After playing with the first generation xscale units I wasn't expecting much improvement.


2) Size & Weight

It's small enough to fit in a shirt pocket with the button closed. It is also lightweight and well balanced.


3) Sound Quality

Using some good quality ear-bud headphones produced sound quality far beyond my expectations (seeing it's not a dedicated audio device).

Then last week while on vacation in Oregon I purchased the full-sized Sony MDR-V6 Studio Monitor headphones at Fry's. Yahoo! These sound fantastic with the 2215 -- clean, clear and balanced sound with very respectable bass!


4) Speed

Did I mention how fast the 2215 is?

<Edited 7/19/03 to add the following point>

5) Battery Life

The Jornada 560 series was great in this regard, the 2215 is as at least as good and maybe a bit better. Also, the 2215 seems to charge very rapidly.


Do miss the Jornada flip cover, though!

Regards,

EricR

Glad to hear you like it so much I am on the fence about buying one, I want something a little smaller than my Axim, and I miss the sleek design of my previous Ipaqs.

i dunno but i just HATED anything that'll hide the beauty of my machine that cost $$$$. Part of owning these things is a show off value (i don't need one but i like having my contacts and calender and email with me - and calling someone from my BT enabled ipaq to my T68i def rocks!!)

Glad you loving it too. I got my 2215 and was extremely happy! Still going...

Just one lil bug i've been having (others have other probs that i haven't noticed) When i'm activesyncing via IR and try to open IE (to surf the web) it locks up (IE not the whole system but i still gotta soft reset anyways). AS by USB doesn't (didn't try BT yet). It also locks up if i try to connect via BT over my T68i phone without first opening IE.

Dunno why but connecting then opening IE always causes it to lock up
