Brighthand Publishes iPAQ hw6925 Review
"The 6925 is a decent device, but in the amount of time that it's been delayed, a lot of highly competitive devices have been released. The iPAQ does manage to carve out something of a niche, since it's the only device available in the US that has a fixed keyboard, Wi-Fi, and a touchscreen all in one, not to mention the convenience of built-in GPS. But some of the implementations decisions, including the difficulty of getting the GPS working with anything other than Cingular or HP's for-pay navigator applications, and the poor thumb keyboard, drain the usefulness out of the device."
Brighthand has published a review of the hw6925, which we reviewed last september as the hw6915 (The difference? the 25 is Cingular's branded version, while the 15 was the UK unbranded version). I was a bit perplexed by the reviewer's trouble getting GPS to work with other software - when I popped Pharos Ostia 7.5 on the device, the GPS started up without an issue. I sure hope Cingular didn't monkey around with the GPS on their implementation!

I have not been to Brighthand in a long time... took the time to post a reply to this review as it was fairly inaccurate to my experience and actual specs.

That was a terribly inaccurate review. I recall being a pretty active member over there a few years ago but now I only check the site, often due to links other sites post to it, one or two times every few months, and I am almost always disappointed.
