Great Product.......2005-04-07
I dont know what other people were talking about when they said that this thing has no range. I have the base in my basement mounted on the wall and i went half way down my driveway which is 600 feet. So i already had this thing working at around 350 feet not even in a direct line of sight. If you are just around your house just outside or in there is hardly no lag at all.

GRR.......2007-06-26
well, it looked pretty cool until i find out what i ordered didnt come with the base unit :] ugh...
...hmmm..........2007-03-05
I think the concept of this is deff worth the buy. I like being able to sit in bed and talk to friends without having to waste money by using my cell phone. Most may say that the keyboard is hard to type on but i beg to differ! Once you get the hang of it, its quite easy! i think this is deff a good buy.
Useless. Simply useless........2007-01-11
This device only works with a host PC that must be powered on. Which brings up the interesting question: If I must have my PC powered on, why do I need a separate device to send IMs?
Answer: I don't!
Save your money. This is a solution in search of a problem to solve.
huh??.......2006-12-28
Heyy guys i really want this but i dont know wich one to buy the comapainon or the starter pack thing and is it easier to buy it online or at a local store such as Walmart, bestbuy, Circuit city, etc... please email me at hersheybabe224@aim.com or i.m. me at L0vEsPeLLx37 thanx
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
We have 6 of these.......2006-11-25
We have a large gaming group and sit around an 8x4 table. We are able to share information to make our gaming experience more real. Its also a time saver... in that we do not have to pull the DM outside to ask a question or be told a personal variance to a senerio. They can tell you directly to your IM. Great fun tool. I, however, can find it much cheaper than this elsewhere.

Product Description
It's called "instant" messaging, right? Not "whenever your little brother finishes his game and gets off the computer" messaging. The Zipit Instant Messenger is a portable device that connects automatically to any home Wi-Fi or (free) hotspot. Personal, private, and ready when the conversation's happening, it features a MyFriendz Key to quickly locate online friends and offers the "one to many" chatting experience. It also allows you to take part in multiple, concurrent conversations (memory space allowing). Dedicated and programmable My Emoticonz keep you quick on the keys. The Zipit Wireless Messenger picks up networks from within 300 feet of your home access point or any open (free) hotspot. Multiple security features ensure a fun and safe messaging experience. Features a 320x240 LCD display, keyboard with a large QWERTY layout for fast typing, rechargeable battery that provides 4-8 hours continuous use, and in-field s/w downloads for updating protocols and streaming music. Using the Zipit requires no service fee; Internet service for home access must be purchased separately. It's easy to set up and supports popular IM protocols and international connectivity. Includes AC adapter. Designed in USA. Imported. 4.25Lx3.6Wx8H".
Customer Reviews:
Good for ssh.......2007-01-07
These are good for chatting on aim, but with some hacking they can have so many other uses. The zipit is basically an ultra-portable text-only Linux laptop. Versions of the zipit with the old firmware let you install a version of Linux with shell access and useful tools like an ssh client. Unfortunately the manufacture broke this ability in the new firmwares and if you want to play with Linux, you need to get out a soldering iron and modify the hardware. Since the makers of zipit chose to use the free software community's software for the zipit, they should let us hack it! That is the true spirit of the GPL.
Great device, just be careful with it.......2006-12-08
Okay, on the plus sides:
Sturdy feel, lightweight, long battery life, long wifi range, good encryption compatability, lots of IM options, good keyboard.
It would have been a great gadget 100% except for the fact it has no backlight and it broke in less than a week. It probably would have lasted longer except for a drop off a table onto hard floor. Glass screen (should be using plastic by now) shattered in lower right corner leaving entire right side of screen unusuable. Lid switch also engadges for no reason, causing it to go into standby at random times. Had potential but durability and reliability are a bit of an issue. If you're careful, it's a great product.
KOOL THING.......2006-11-11
This thing would be the funnest for kids and teens who use AIM, Yahoo, and MSN frequently. I want this because I can go on my MSN when I'm not at the computer. I'm going to Florida (I live in Iowa) and I could keep in touch with my girlfriends and stuff. So kool. only one question that needs to be answered. I have an email address and password with an underscore...how do i do that?
Good.......2006-08-17
Pros:
Very Easy To Use
Connects Quickly
Plays Music
Cons:
Keyboard Sucks
No Backlight
Black & White
My battery Doesn't Work
Absolutly love it........2006-07-26
I love my white zipit. It is so great. I'm a bit annoyed that there is no backlight but other than that, it's great. It has all the instant messeging stuff I need, the battery life is convienent and its a good size. Easy to take places. If you are someone who has wireless, (or is going to get it,) doesnt have your own computer, only uses the computer for IMing with either AIM, MSN and/or Yahoo and has a family that likes to use the computer, then GET A ZIPIT! You will not be sorry.

Product Description
HP iPAQ hw6510 Mobile Messenger offers integrated GSM/GPRS/EDGE technologies and is packed full of high-end features including an integrated keyboard, GPS Navigation, and multiple messaging capabilities - in a stylish, lightweight design.
Amazon.com Product Description
For amazing versatility in a mobile device, check out the quad-band HP iPAQ hw6510b. Key features include the Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Pocket PC operating system, EDGE high-speed data support, a 312 MHz Intel PXA272 processor, 55 MB built-in memory, Bluetooth connectivity, and a 240 x 240 color touch screen. And best of all, the hw6510b is unlocked, giving you the option of coupling it with any wireless calling plan to create the mobile office that best meets your requirements.
Design
Using a bar-shaped form factor that fits easily in your hand and housing an internal antenna that won't get in your way, the hw6510b provides full QWERTY thumb board lying conveniently below the screen and additional keys for your favorite functions and applications. The hw6510b is designed for ease of use and will give you fast access to your Outlook calendar, contacts, and key phone functions. Alternatively, the device can be directly controlled with an included stylus that slides out of the case. A built-in SecureDigital (SD) card slot allows you to expand memory to your needs. The slot is also SDIO capable, meaning it supports peripherals such as wireless LAN (wi-fi) cards. The hw6510b's TFT display supports up to 65,000 colors and the Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC operating system is completely touchscreen-enabled. The screen also features advanced handwriting recognition that is compatible with all of the device's applications. The rear of the unit houses a standard stereo 2.5mm headset jack, while docking ports for USB data and charging are built in to the bottom of the device.
Calling Features
Many of the hw6510b's calling features are integrated with the Windows Mobile operating system. For instance, the included Pocket Outlook software features a contacts list that is cleverly combined with the phone's dialing functions. Meanwhile, the phone's handwriting recognition software can be used to dial numbers and enter contact information. The hw6510b's built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Polyphonic ringtones are available, as is a vibrating alert. Custom ringtones, as well as a picture ID system are also supported. Lastly, the device's Bluetooth (version 1.2) connectivity makes it easy to synchronize the unit with a wide range of handsfree, wireless headsets and car kits.
Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The hw6510b is designed as a comprehensive mobile office solution, so Internet and messaging capabilities are top quality. The unit comes packed with pocket versions of Outlook and Internet Explorer. Instant messaging via AOL, Yahoo!, and ICQ is also supported. In addition to keeping track of contacts, Pocket Outlook features integrated calendar and email functions. Microsoft's ActiveSync software keeps the device synced with all of your PC's Outlook information (via USB, IR, or Bluetooth connection). Users who want Internet connectivity on the road with their laptop or PDA can tap the unit's wireless modem capabilities (charges for your wireless carrier plan will apply). In addition to Outlook/Exchange Server email connectivity, the hw6510b also supports POP3 and IMAP4 email protocols. The unit fully supports basic text messaging, as well as multimedia messaging (MMS).
A generous toolset ships with the hw6510b's Windows Mobile 2003 software. Pocket Outlook includes to-do lists while pocket versions of Word and Excel are included so you can review and edit documents on the go. A calculator, alarm clock and voice memo recorder round out the tools package.
Imaging and Entertainment
With the hw6510b's integrated media functions, you can store digital music files and easily exchange them with your PC. The pre-installed Windows Media Player 10 application can also play videos for even more mobile entertainment. Gaming on the device is also fully supported.
Vital Statistics
The HP iPAQ hw6510b weighs 5.8 ounces and measures 4.65 x 2.8 x .83 inches. Its 1200 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4 hours of digital talk time, and up to 168 hours--a full seven days--of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 frequencies. The hw6510b comes with a one year limited warranty.

Great Mobile Computer.......2006-11-16
this is a mobile computer but not much of a phone but you can do wonders with it specially with the two slots for extra memory
Amazon.com Review
Compatible with Cingular service, the Nokia N-Gage QD is a GSM phone and handheld gaming console rolled into one. The N-Gage QD features Bluetooth wireless connectivity, a hot-swap MMC-card slot for memory expansion and games, and a 36,600-pixel screen. Like all the latest Nokia phones, the N-Gage QD runs on a variant of the Symbian OS, which allows fast multitasking between game applications, phone calls, messaging and other functions. Users of the original will be delighted to know that the new N-Gage QD operates as a phone without the need for a headset; hold it to your ear and talk all you want. It's also smaller and more jeans-pocket-friendly than the original model.
The new N-Gage QD is smaller and more intelligently designed than its predecessor. Plus, inserting game cards is a snap. |
Overall, we found the N-Gage QD a stunning successor to the original. Nokia has certainly listened to users and made improvements in all the right places. Barring a few quibbles, this new gaming phone is poised to make a real name for itself in the portable gaming space, something the original model was largely unable to do.
Calling and Multimedia
Gaming is the heart and soul of the N-Gage QD, but don't forget, it's also a powerful phone with the latest mobile Web, e-mail and messaging features. While we liked the ability to use it as a conventional handset, Bluetooth is built in, so going hands-free is easy with a Bluetooth-enabled headset. If you're not Bluetooth-inclined, there's also a jack for a wired headset. Like ringtones? You can get creative with polyphonic sounds that get you noticed in a crowd.
The N-Gage QD packs plenty of portable graphics firepower. |
If you have GSM or GPRS data service, you can browse the wireless Web using the built-in browser. We found these features tricky to set up and the Nokia interface for these functions somewhat confusing, but once we got things going, we enjoyed downloading some game tips and tricks from n-gage.com. The unit also serves as a wireless e-mail and messaging client with support for all the latest protocols (MMS, SMS, IMAP4, POP3, SMTP, and MIME2). We especially liked the Java-based expandability of the phone; with a data connection it's fun to download new Java-based games and new game levels. You can also download productivity apps like calendars and planners.
With this iteration of the N-Gage, Nokia decided to drop the FM radio and MP3 player functions from the device. We think these would have been nice to retain, but Nokia was intent on making the N-Gage QD more exclusively focused on gaming. Nokia has retained multiplayer gaming via Bluetooth, so you can still go head-to-head with up to four players via a wireless connection.
Gaming
Okay, the meat and potatoes. The Nokia N-Gage QD didn't disappoint when it came to gaming performance on a handheld device. The redesigned controls are far more user-friendly than thosn of the classic N-Gage. Gone are the days of clumsily pushing the directional pad inward to make a selection; a separate selection button is now available. The newly placed slot for games and memory expansion cards is one of the biggest improvements, as users no longer have to remove the battery and cover to pop in a new game. The card slot is now easily accessible on the outside edge of the unit and is protected by a rubber cover.
Our test model came with Ashen, a three-dimensional first-person shooter set in a macabre, supernatural world. Creepy-crawly things were coming at us from all directions and we found ourselves pretty immersed in the game--quite amazing, given that the screen is a little smaller than a business card. Graphics were impressive, too, for such a small device that offers robust battery life (Nokia claims 10 hours of play time on a single charge).
We had some reservations about the number of currently available games for the N-Gage. Many are forthcoming, however, and Nokia has obviously made a serious commitment to improving the platform. The N-Gage QD is a clear and positive sign of what's to come. --Joshua Gunn
Pros
- Vastly improved design
- Compact
- Good portable graphics power
- User-friendly controls
- Robust phone features
Cons
- MP3 and FM radio features dropped
- Small library of available titles
- Somewhat confusing user interface
What's in the Box:
The Nokia N-Gage QD unit, an AC charger, a dual mono headset, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, a software CD-ROM, a games brochure
Customer Reviews:
Don't be discouraged by the PSP or Nintendo DS this gaming phone has it all...even more.......2006-02-06
I've owned a N-Gage Qd since Christmas of 2004 and I must say I am very impressed as this phone clearly has unlimited potential. With a service known as the N-Gage arena you can compete against other gamers all around the world similar to the XBOX 360's XBOX live! Create a buddy list, get their phone numbers, text them call them make friends.I would highly sugest buying Glimmerati, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, Crash Nitro Kart, Ashen, Rayman 3, Sonic N, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and Lara Craft's Tomb Raider....all excelent games that are only $7 at your local EB games and GameStop. With the purchase of a memory card you can download music, full length movies (with a big enough memory card) and best of all you can download a NES,emulator on your N-Gage and enjoy unlimited fun all for a price of $100 for a pre-paid cingular phone.
N-Gage QD Game Deck.......2005-12-25
This Nokia phone didnt sell too well but it is still one of the best cell phones out there. I purchased this phone about a week ago and im lovin it. it has all the things you'd expect in a phone and then some. you can play games on it, watch full length films (if you have a big enough memory card) and surf the web. it has a sleek design and will fit in your pocket. this is a great buy for anyone who is looking for a multimedia center in the palm of your hands
A Step Backward.......2005-12-24
With the United States falling to number 5 in technology across the world. It doesn't surprise me to see Nokia forced to take a step backward with the Ngage. It's hard to get games to catch on with Mobile gaming because so many people demand games with multi format options; to take games with them when they upgrade phones. I own the first Ngage which has a built in Radio along with MP3 player and all the other functions the QD has. I use Cingular and I love my phone. Even though I have to load games and memory cards via removing the back cover. I think it's much safer. If anything, I would have made the back cover capable of packing away one or two more memory cards or games on the plate instead of redesign into the QD, which removed the radio by the way. The Ngage is still lacking in earbuds. If you have the money to purchase a bluetooth headset, those rock and look very stylish. Otherwise, the best option you have is the earbuds that come with the phone. Doom doesn't play on the Ngage....that majorly SUCKS. Overall, I would recommend this phone over the new Walkman. The Walkman is just ludicrous in price when the QD is available to you.
Close, but keep trying........2005-12-05
Ok, first things first. I used this phone for nearly a year before it was stolen last week. While the phone definitely has its advantages and disadvantages, I was on the lookout for a new phone almost immediately.
Pros:
As I'm sure you aware, the phone was designed to function as a gaming system as well as a cell phone. I thoroughly enjoyed playing Tony Hawk, NCAA 2K4 football, Red Faction and Tomb Raider. All of the games were fun and often had more functionality than the GB Advance equivilent.
On that note, I carried the phone in the same pocket with my keys, loose change, etc. The screen does a great job of resisting scratches.
The layout of the phone makes it easy to navigate menus, although the menus themselves are somewhat counterintuitive.
Battery life was surprisingly long, even when playing games for several hours.
Texting was a breeze, and it seamlessly connected my messages to callers in my phonebook.
I also found the metric/US converter program very useful on more than one occasion.
Cons:
In a year, I never met another person who either owned or knew someone that owned an N-Gage. So much for mobile-to-mobile gaming.
Although this phone is much smaller than the original N-Gage, I still felt like I was carrying around a brick.
No camera?!?
Forget about putting the phone in your pocket without the keys locked! I'm not sure how many times I connected to the internet, called friends, etc because I forgot to lock the keys.
Towards the end of the year, it seemed that the battery needed to be charged more frequently, even though I was playing the games less often.
Games can be pricey! I paid 50 for the phone, and some of the games retail for 35 or more (assuming you can find them). For this I suggest looking online, you can find some great deals.
The rubber protection around the outside of the phone fell off after about 9 months.
System overload? On countless occasions the phone would lock up, freeze or just quit responding, and I had to turn it off and restart it. This gets old quickly.
Summary:
As a phone, I think that the N-Gage is mediocre at best. It has a lot of the functions that most newer phones have, but lacks an appropriate interface to access them. It took me nearly a year to truly develop a proficient knowledge of the phone, and I consider myself to be fairly tech-savvy.
As a portable gaming system, I think that the N-Gage is quite remarkable. There is quite a variety of games available, although you will have to look online to find them. The games are full-length and have most of the features (including secrets) of their PS2 counterpart.
If you're looking for a great cell phone, I would look elsewhere. If you're looking for a decent cellphone with a portable gaming system to kill time, the N-Gage is definitely better than Snake or Minesweep!
Dangit you N-Gage deliciousnez .......2005-11-25
Dis is da' N-Gage.
*P.S.: 50 Cent Bulletproof is gonna be the best game ever.*
My favorite game ever is Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. whoever says it is a bad game, screw you.
The Ngage is my favorite system yet, it has games like Tomb Raider, which sucks, and Pocket Kingdom, which cusses. And I like the cell phone. The cell phone made my girlfriend, which I had to first get "n-gaged" to in a dream ran away with a man who owns a PSP AND DS. And PS2. And Gamecube. And X-Box. And GBASP. And N64. And Sega Dreamcast. Which all suck.
The suckiest game of all is Halo, where da' bunnies?
Metroid Prime has no bunnies either.
I like bunnies.
Bunnies cewl.
Ngage is delicious, I ate one in one bite, I thought it was a taco. Everybody asks me why I talk to a taco when I'm using the Ngage, people have a good sense of humor nowadays. They kick me in the groin, laugh with me, and either run or drive away. Today the mayor kicked me in my shin, it's bleeding, but I think he has the best sense of humor of all.
Well, actually my mom does. She kicked me in the eye, and I can't feel my toe because she kicked me in the eye.
Everybody calls me this new word for cool called "Demented" and sometimes they even call me "N00bs!"
I call them words like "Buddy" and "Yommama."
Everytime I call somebody a "Yommama" they mamma come and make me some Apple Fist. It tastes like blood, funny mammas!
Butt the N-Gage TODAY! Or you shall be a "Cool Person". Yeah.
Now, everything in this review was a lie. If you beleive what I have just written, you should eat some Apple Fist. It hurts. And 50 Cent: Bulletproof is gonna blow.

Good for ssh.......2007-01-07
These are good for chatting on aim, but with some hacking they can have so many other uses. The zipit is basically an ultra-portable text-only Linux laptop. Versions of the zipit with the old firmware let you install a version of Linux with shell access and useful tools like an ssh client. Unfortunately the manufacture broke this ability in the new firmwares and if you want to play with Linux, you need to get out a soldering iron and modify the hardware. Since the makers of zipit chose to use the free software community's software for the zipit, they should let us hack it! That is the true spirit of the GPL.
Great device, just be careful with it.......2006-12-08
Okay, on the plus sides:
Sturdy feel, lightweight, long battery life, long wifi range, good encryption compatability, lots of IM options, good keyboard.
It would have been a great gadget 100% except for the fact it has no backlight and it broke in less than a week. It probably would have lasted longer except for a drop off a table onto hard floor. Glass screen (should be using plastic by now) shattered in lower right corner leaving entire right side of screen unusuable. Lid switch also engadges for no reason, causing it to go into standby at random times. Had potential but durability and reliability are a bit of an issue. If you're careful, it's a great product.
KOOL THING.......2006-11-11
This thing would be the funnest for kids and teens who use AIM, Yahoo, and MSN frequently. I want this because I can go on my MSN when I'm not at the computer. I'm going to Florida (I live in Iowa) and I could keep in touch with my girlfriends and stuff. So kool. only one question that needs to be answered. I have an email address and password with an underscore...how do i do that?

Absolutly love it........2006-07-26
I love my white zipit. It is so great. I'm a bit annoyed that there is no backlight but other than that, it's great. It has all the instant messeging stuff I need, the battery life is convienent and its a good size. Easy to take places. If you are someone who has wireless, (or is going to get it,) doesnt have your own computer, only uses the computer for IMing with either AIM, MSN and/or Yahoo and has a family that likes to use the computer, then GET A ZIPIT! You will not be sorry.
