Default iPaq H4350 Reviewed By CNet

http://reviews.cnet.com/HP_iPaq_H43...24.html?tag=lst

The new iPaq H4350, like the H4150, has just been reviewed by CNet. They gave the H4350 higher ratings than the H4150 due to the built-in keyboard and significantly larger battery of the H4350:

"All in all, the keyboard--which offers blue backlighting for inputting text in the dark--is superior to the one found on Handspring's Treo 600. The keys are raised and have just enough space between them to prevent mistyping."

"Battery life was excellent, owing to the unit's large, high-capacity 1,560mAh battery (the H4150 has a 1,000mAh battery)--clearly, a major reason to pick this model over its keyboard-free sibling."

"It's longer than your average Pocket PC, but its integrated keyboard and higher-capacity battery make the H4350 a top choice for heavy Wi-Fi users."

The VOIP sounds interesting. The big question there is how they accomplish the microphone? Looking at the closeup of the keyboard I see two small dots (holes?). What's the chances that one of them is a microphone?

I'm not a huge mini-keyboard person, but with the keyboard + bigger battery + mike for only $50 more, it might be worth it....

Actually Im quite impressed, not as ugly and odd looking as I originally thought it would be! Well done HP for giving the PPC market something different....maybe a hidden, sliding keyboard could improve but not at the sacrifice of thickness!!

Does anyone notice?? Look at the 'design' pages of both of the reviews (4150 and 4350), look at the cases hp includes! It's those confounded "protective canvas slipcovers" that destroyed the h2200's grips!

Well maybe their not as horribly tight as the 2200's is... :roll:

Amazon is taking pre-orders for the 4350 but it states that it won't be available until Jan 4th. Can that be right?

"A HP spokesman confirmed to infoSync World that neither of the displaus of the two models (4150/4350) suffer from yellow tinting, a widely reported problem with the iPAQ h1940 series."
