h2210 side grips

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi,

I've heard a lot about the side grips on the h2210...

Just how *do* they fall off?

How *do* they attach in the first place? Slide on, push on, stuck on?

The slide/clip on, if you push at the bottom of the grip and slide upwards
they will come off.

They don't actually fall off or break, what happens is the soft rubber outer
coating of the side grip delaminates from the hard plastic base. My second
set have just started doing the same thing again. Looks like a pair of
aluminum grips from PPCTech's will be on order soon!

as per the other reply they tend just to come apart rather than fall
off the machine - we've got two at home

One is in the slip case supplied by hp and the elasticated sides of
that seem to have a *big* impact on the side rubbers seperating on
that 2210 (its a really tight push into the pouch which really grips
at the sides of the 2210 as its pushed into the case)

the other is in a soft zip up case and have had no probs with side
grips on that one

re the 2210 itself Im considering a Dell axim A30 as alternative to
one of our 2210s (mainly for the landscape view and the onboard wifi)

I figure adding wifi to the 2210 would eat up one of the slots anyway
and Im hoping the default setup dialogs on SE based machines are going
to be landscape view aware (which is the one issue with just using a
landscape util to map the 2210's screen to 320 w x240h - id happily do
that otherwise)

taking price of a wifi card and metal sidegrips for 2210 into account
it wont cost a great deal more to buy the A30 instead and then just
flog the 2210 to make up the difference lol

They will only send one replacement set under warranty, when that set fails
you're on your own.
