Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC H3950 is making hi-tech waves!
The Compaq iPAQ H3950 Pocket PC has Windows Mobile 2002 – PXA250 400 MHz – RAM: 64 MB – ROM: 32 MB 3.8″ TFT ( 240 x 320 ) – IrDA. It is not much bigger than a calculator and comes standard with applications like Microsoft Pocket Word, Excel, Outlook, Internet Explorer, and Windows Media Player.
But the first thing you’ll notice about these iPAQs is the plastic snap-over protective cover that’s attached to a removable sleeve. Its surface is a nirvana for forensic scientists, as it retains every single fingerprint. Once this cover is released and the unit powered on, however, Compaq can be forgiven almost everything. The display is outstanding and better than all other PDAs in this Labs.
The Compaq iPAQ H3950 Pocket PC’s new transreflective display has two benefits. First, the colour rendition is superb. It’s only when you put the new iPAQs alongside earlier units that you find out how muddy the colours on the older iPAQs really are and that they’re incapable of displaying a true black.
Second, holding the units at a slight angle no longer finds you apparently staring into side-mounted fluorescent tubes. The downside is that the display is harder to read in daylight when the backlight is dim or off.
The built-in Bluetooth of the 3970 – the main thing that that makes it different from the Compaq iPAQ H3950 – has a comprehensive set of configuration tools, including options for receiving PIM objects, setting up a default passkey and the designation of a contact as a business card. There’s also a file-sharing option that can be set to a specified folder. The Bluetooth menu on the welcome screen gives direct access to ActiveSync over Bluetooth.
Connecting to other Bluetooth devices involves navigating the confusing Pocket PC 2002 Connection Manager. However, once configured, automatically connecting to a Nokia 6310i to access email over GPRS on the H3950 works faultlessly.
