There is a backup feature but it is not automatic on this version. This is an okay device with older technology. I am fairly tech savvy but this still trips me up from time to time. If there is a new model still out there, I would not pay more for it. I had to download the manual which was not a problem. This is my first time using any sort of palm device. I didn't want to spend a lot of money so I bought used. The battery will go dead even when the unit is off.
It has left me high and dry more than once when I thought I had turned it off and just run down the battery instead. If you don't mind fiddling around with it, then it's a good buy used. There are several apps I will never use but they can be stored in the background. Put your money in something more tech friendly and up to date. I would probably buy a more recent model where some of these glitches have been resolved by newer technology. The unit is hard to turn off. The price was right, the features are good. It has been a good learning device for me.
Perhaps it is a quirk of this particular older device or perhaps it is just me. I guess I just haven't learned the proper sequence to accomplish full turn off. I did not realize that I would loose ALL information if the battery went dead. It leaves a ghost on the screen when it is not all the way off and I still struggle with this.
Count me a satisfied customer. Being a fan of HP since the heyday of the HP Laserjet II printers, I researched this product carefully -- every company can have stumbles and such -- but HP lives on in my reality with a winner with this model among their multitude of Pocket PCs. It does everything it's supposed to, and more.
I would definitely purchase from this seller again. It came with a very nice leather case that I was not expecting. The used iPAQ I ordered was a replacement for one I had used for years. It arrived within a week and was in excellent shape and functioned perfectly.
Compatable with just about everything, it does all the same work as the rest of the pocket PC's for Hundreds less.A great investment. A great little item. If you want to keep your phone a phone, and still keep the rest of your important information and appointments at the tip of your fingers, this is the way to go.
Why buy a new model if you can get this great PDA at a super price. Got a great deal on this discontinued model. Great: compact size, battery life, screen and functionality. You can't go wrong and if the price is right, even better.
