Can I install Windows Mobile on a Pocket PC?

Question

I have an HP iPAQ Pocket PC h5000 series and I wanted to use it as a cell phone. Is there a way that I can download Windows Mobile on it so that I can use my SIM card with the Pocket PC

Answer 1

Unfortunately no - your iPAQ doesn't have the physical hardware to operate as a phone.  The cellphone part simply isn't included with the h5000 series.

You can get expansion cards that will add phone capabilities but they're expensive, drain the battery and are somewhat bulky.  They're also becoming difficult to find.  Talk a look at the link below if you want more information.

I would recommend buying a new pocket PC is you need phone capabilities.
