Excellent!.......2006-04-05

I've had this little bugger for almost a full week now, and I must say, I think it was the best investment I've made concerning tools for my career (freelance writing). The Pocket version of Word is the handiest thing for an English Major on the run. I can work on whatever writing projects I have going, whenever or wherever I have the chance, and it is fully compatible with my Win XP desktop at home. And with it's organizer capabilities, it certainly eliminated a TON of the clutter in my bookbag/purse. (Before, I was carrying a writing notebook, a planner, post-it-notes for the planner, etc etc--now the h1945 has replaced darn near all of it!)

I gave this unit 4 out of 5 stars, only because I've been having difficulty with getting the Bluetooth to work, and I had to soft reset it once. Of course, this could very well be due to my inexperience with setting up wireless technology.

All in all however, I have had an excellent experience with this unit so far; I was particularly pleased with the fact that my unit came with a travel and a car charger plug to complement the USB sync cable. Had to go out and buy an audio adapter jack though, but I bought a refurbished one, and it all comes out in the wash anyway.

So, there you have it. I was originally led to believe handhelds were only for organizer purposes, but I have seen the light! lol. They are nearly as flexible as the user wants them to be, which is a very nice trait to have in a handheld.

very durable, good value.......2005-12-07

i have had one of these bad boys for 3 years, i have hard reset it twice and have had no problems with the screen breaking(i dont drop stuff that cost $300[at the time] so there is no problem)

the pocket office apps are nice, although they require you to convert from pocket to regular format each time. the ActiveSync software is majorly flaky, especially with bluetooth, but i just stopped synchronising and only used it to install programs. the button layout of the PPC is very comfortable, the screen is fairly bright, and over all it is worth 200$$

i am getting rid of my iPaq and swithcing to the palm T|X(which is the same price as the iPaq was when new and has much nicer...everything!!)

hope this helped

Screens only crack because of STUPID USERS who dont know how to take care of the product, and DROP THEM........2005-11-01

What else will happen to an LCD screen if it is dropped? IT WILL CRACK - Plain and simple. Be careful, and dont drop your PDA's!

Eggshell, fragile screen.......2005-10-04

I've just cracked my fourth ipaq screen in four years. They know they've got a problem but they just won't fix it. Why? So that we'll just buy another PDA, and another PDA, and another PDA...

Great little PDA, Recommended.......2005-08-19

When my friend told me that he was getting himself a new PDA (the RX3715 to be exact) He asked me if I wanted his hp 1945. I took this thing for a test run and was immediately hooked on how useful it is and I bought it from him. I've had this PDA for two or three weeks so far and it's handled everything I've thrown at it. A lot of people seem to have had problems with slight bumps or something, not so here. My iPaq has been jumbled in my pocket and much more in the past few weeks with no problems. I AM however careful with it, just like you SHOULD be with any electronics. Anyone who thinks this thing will survive a 4-6 foot fall without a case is an idiot.

The multimedia capabilities are rather good on this little handheld. It plays a LOT of games. The one that amazed me the most was playing iD's QUAKE on it, simply incredible. I've giving it only four starts because of a few reasons:

1. The infrared is poor. I'd love to use this as a universal remote but the infrared isn't powerful enough.
2. No WiFi. Not a big deal and you CAN buy an adapter but it will take up your only SD slot.

I think there may be something I'm missing but overall it's a solid PDA. The 266mhz Samsung processor is amazing too, performing better than most 300mhz and some 400mhz pocket processors. Bluetooth is available and I DO use it with my bluetooth dongle but it's still no WiFi, quite fast though.

OVERALL: I'd recommend this PDA. I've seen this thing from when my friend first purchased it and it's been through heaven and hell without problems. Excellent PDA and especially for the much lower price it's at now.

nice pocket pc.......2006-10-06

This is a really good pocket pc because I can access the internet, do my homework and even type my papers for school. I would recommend you get this because it's a good study tool and a good organizer for teens.

Pass on it.......2005-07-22

I purchased the RZ1715 about six months ago, and it has already worn out---battery will not take a charge, before that it became unpredictable in its behavior, with a lot of soft reboots. In contrast, my previous PDA---a Toshiba that was awesome---lasted about a year. My first PDA---an inexpensive Palm, purchased simply to see if I would use a PDA---lasted two years. The RZ1715 is so radically limited on memory that "Out of Memory" errors were a daily occurrence; I had 64MB expansion card in it, but it only recognized the card about half of the time. This PDA is simply not built to last.

Thankfully, I purchased a replacement plan when I bought it---now I'm only hoping that they replace it with something better. Wait for the sale and spend the extra $75.00 on something with enough memory to do what you want it to do.

Good choice.......2005-07-09

I'm very saisfied with this product. It's just as I expected. No need to say more.

Simple and easy to use.......2003-05-30

I have Windows XP on my laptop. Once I opened my Plextor drive box, I simply connected the USB and power connectors, dropped in the folders I wanted to backup, and issues a command to write the data (with right mouse click on drive).

I did not have to install any software nor fiddle with configuration. It was extremely easy to setup (not much of setup to talk about) and use.

Set-up Took a while but it's a gem........2003-05-22

I purchased this as my "back-up" system, and have had great luck with it (no bad CDs burned so far!). It did take a while to get set up properly for my IBM laptop, but once it was set up, it worked quickly and easily. I am very happy with my CD writer. I particularly like it's portability. Very slim and light.

shaky start but it's working.......2003-05-02

I was looking for an external CD writer for my laptop and after reading the reviews on this one I decided to give it a shot. I took it out of the box, plugged it in and my computer (running XP) instantly recognized it, great.

But then I tried to install the software and after rebooting, it kept "blue-screening" my computer (first blue screen I've seen in XP). After rebooting, I uninstalled the software and visited the Roxio site, where there was indeed a link to a patch that XP users would need, I clicked on it and kept getting server errors. This went on into the night and I finally convinced a customer service rep at Roxio that they had a problem, they said they would look into it.

So being impatient, I installed Nero instead and started burning.

So how does it work? I've burned one CD and it was very fast and made a perfect burn, so no complaints with the drive itself. One annoyance is that if I turn off the power on the drive or unplug the USB cable when my computer is powered up, it reboots my computer. I upgraded the firmware and still the same thing, not a big huge deal as long as I remember to shut down the computer first.

Also, I love the carrying case that it came with, it's kind of a tight fit getting all the cables in there and getting it zipped but the padding around the drive is excellent.

So overall I can't complain too much, I did get a really good deal on it and I think it's going to work well for me. Just remember that if you're running XP you may have to put up with some initial "bumps" to get up and running.

Easy friendly.......2003-04-22

It is really easy to start using it. Moreover the design is nice and it is portable.

I love it!.......2003-04-06

I chose this CD burner over Sony because it was recommended to me by the company whose CD-burning program I use, and I am glad I bought it. It reads AND burns CDs flawlessly; since using it, I have not burned one coaster. One note: it prefers to have a USB port that is 2.0 instead of 1.1, but personally I still get great use out of it on my old 1.1 port and am very happy with it.
