Greetings all,

I'm considering getting a HP Ipaq 5550 in the very near future, and was wondering what opinions are of people that own them, or have experience with them :)


All replies are appreciated.

I have a 5555 device... I give it my personal Two Thumbs Up rating...

I like the integrated 802.11b, which I use a lot, the built-in SD memory slot which I use with a 128-Meg card and the 128-Meg of RAM...

Given, however, that the device has been discontinued by HP and you can't upgrade the OS to the newer Windows Mobile 2003 SE why not look at a newer device?

Because I can get it for about 40% off retail price, brand new, with a deluxe leather case & 256mb SD card.

My budget is roughly up to $800 NZD tho, so if anyone does have any other suggestions, I'm willing to listen :)

It doesnt have to be windows PPC as an OS either......
I.e, could be a PalmOne.

And once again I am changing my mind. :o

Just so much to choose from!

Currently I'm looking at a Dell Axim X50v.
