HP IPAQ 3970 Review

The HP IPAQ 3970 is an enigma. There just isn't as much information floating around about the 3970 as most other PDAs. But from all indications, the 3970 is a great product. Expensive, but great. The 3970 may be a good alternative to the 5400 line.

The HP IPAQ 3970 has gotten some good reviews. There aren't a lot of reviews available, but the ones we've found are very positive. Of 46 votes on one web site, 91% recommended the 3970. It doesn't get much better than that.

Professional Ratings: 8 out of 10 (1 review)

User Ratings: 9.3 out of 10 (6 reviews)

Because there's so little feedback available for the IPAQ 3970, we haven't found any notable problems. Maybe this is a good thing. There is the suggestion that the display on the 3970 is noticeably better than most.
