iPAQ Failure

I purchased a new iPAQ rx3115 for my wife on October 24th, 2004. I’ve used HP PDA’s for many years, and I’ve often recommended them to my friends, family and associates. But that stops today.

Last week the battery in the rx3115 stopped holding a charge. My best guess is that the very day the lame 90-day warranty died was also the day the battery died. But by the time I could troubleshoot the battery and find the time to call HP, the warranty had expired by just 6 days.

HP is choosing not to honor the warranty. So I’m choosing not only to stop recommending any and all HP products, but to stop using them as well. No more ink. No more printers. No more PDA’s. No more computers. No more HP.
