Geeks.com is selling the HP iPAQ h2210 for less than $220 this week, with a... 3600 mAh extra battery and a 128 MB SD card. While this model is pretty old now it is still very capable with its 400 Mhz processor and so we thought that we could review it from the point of view of an affordable SIP phone (Ekiga, Gizmo, Stanaphone, FreeWorldDialup, Skype). Read more for our findings and a quick rundown of its amazing battery life times!

>Are there other generic (or non-generic) SIP application that do run properly on this machine?
No. Stanaphone's solution is just an OEM version of SJphone too. SJPhone runs pretty well anyway (for a beta). In the 5 days I used it extensively on this specific device, there was one crash, and one small isignificant visual problem.
SJphone does not work well on my other PocketPC though (rx3115, pictured in the article), which runs on a Samsung CPU. When I call with SJPhone on that PDA, the whole PDA comes to a crawl. This problem does not exist on Intel PocketPCs (like the h2210 is). I emailed SJphone about it about 3 weeks ago, I never received a reply.
