hx4700 updates ??

[marcolisi]

Hello guys,

I have an hp hx4700 pocket pc .

I have few questions :

1) I would like to buy another battery that has a long life .
What I mean is that the battery that came with my hp , give me a very short time of use of my pocket pc. I am always recharging it.

Could u please suggest me a new high capacity battery for the hx4700 ??


2) I would like to know if the bios of my hx4700 need to be upgraded or my pocket pc needs other critical update.
How can I see what bios do I have and if I need new updates ??

3) I have installed Windows Mobile 2003 se v4.21.1088 build 15045.2.6.0

I know that there is out there a newer OS for the pocket pc ( I do not remember the name ). I also know that 6 months ago , everyone was telling not to install it because it was having a lot of bug .
Do u suggest me to install it now ??
How is called the new OS ??
Is it better than WM2003se ??

thank u very much

There is a high-capacity 5000mAh battery for the hx4700. Have a look at this page (http://lionbattery.com/description.php?noproduit=305).

Tap Start > Settings > System > Asset Viewer. Your ROM version and other relevant information should be listed there.

If anything needs updating, you'll find a list of downloadable updates here (http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/HandheldiPAQ/us/family/model/6089.html?submit.y=0&submit.x=0&lang=en&cc=us). Since you have Windows Mobile 2003 SE, click the first link on that page.
