The HP 910 Business Messenger is actually one of the best Windows Mobile Professional models that I have ever used despite my issues with it. The camera still isn't good for Windows Mobile, speaker volume for alerts is not loud enough, vibrate isn't strong enough and the speed has rare sluggishness on few occasions. Even after these few pet peeves that I have listed, I still like using this device as my daily communicator/pda especially with the qwerty keypad. For the first time in a long while I can finally speed type on this phone and not have to worry about certain letters or marks being ignored after a key press, which is still a huge problem for my Treo 750. For the first time on a qwerty bar Windows Mobile Professional unit I can have a bigger screen for better internet surfing and still retain a touchscreen, American 3G, GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth! The multimedia features will never be great on any Windows Mobile Professional device and I have accepted that, but they are nonetheless sufficient. Reception is good and call quality is good enough for acceptable conversations, and the messaging client of Outlook Mobile still reigns supreme as an ideal app for managing texts, emails and MMS. Overall I simply love the feedback and response time of the qwerty keypad! For the qwerty alone I am right now more than willing to hang on to this HP 910 Business Messenger.
I know that previously I did get critical of the HP's faults and declared that I was returning this to ExpansysUSA, but I have had a change of heart. Even after my most recent meltdown with this model during my weekend in New Jersey, I am still willing to hold on to the good qualities this 910 has to offer me in my daily smartphone usage. My recent incident involved my Gmail account not being able to properly send or receive emails one evening. This sometimes occurs when Outlook decides to alter the password and is usually solved with a quick editing of the password. This didn't work and neither did resetting the device or taking out the battery!!! In a fit of rage I quickly snatched out the battery again and then the SIM card which I shoved back into my trusty (but less featured) Treo 750 and did a Master Reset on the 910.
As of this morning I have resynced the 910 with my MacBook Pro via Missing Sync and re-installed the SIM only to have flawless performance...so far. If I have to go through more difficulties that warrant another factory reset I believe I will continue to hold to this device. At this point the good points so far outweigh the bad and I am hopeful that this will remain even more valuable to me than my Treo 750. There will never be a perfect Windows Mobile Professional unit, but this comes pretty close for me in the meantime.
