The iPAQ 1710 is designed to be an entry-level product. That means it is a Pocket PC with only few basic features, and hence the users can avail this at an affordable price. The HP iPAQ rz1710 comes in a plastic shell which makes it very light, weighing in at only 120 grams.This version of the Windows Mobile OS allows the handset to be used in both portrait and landscape screen configurations. Of course, the resolution is slightly low-grade.
The HP profiles program inside the settings menu is very easy to change at one go. The user can switch between predefined profiles such as Silent, Normal, Meeting, Outdoor and User, and there is no need to change the sounds, backlight or battery-saving settings here. Though the handset doesn’t include Bluetooth connectivity, hence many people might not like it much. But if you are looking for a budget phone then this phone surely wins the race.
