I have recently checked the IPAQ 212 made by HP. I have liked that cellphone and I am thinking to purchase that. But I am not aware about the features and other things. So thought instead of searching on Internet, it would be better to post over here. If anyone over there using this, please provide some information about this cell, so that I can decide to take or not. Any suggestions are mostly welcomed. Since, I have told that I am unaware about this product, also do tell me about its accessories (specially batteries). Hoping some quicker responses from your side.
