  1. Too bad us older IPAQ users are left in the cold by Zugot · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If you want WM 2003 SE, you'll have to buy a new ipaq. Even us users who have the 4100 and the 5100. I'm not too happy about that, but I don't want to upgrade my 4155, because I like it so much.

  2. They forgot GPS by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Seriously: WLAN, Bluetooth, GSM, digital camera, organizer and GPS in one device, that would be perfect. And then someone comes and adds a USB host port to make it even better...

  3. Death of the PDA? Likely by Talez · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I was thinking about buying an iPaq. But then I got my mobile phone (a Sony Ericsson Z1010).

    This phone is a freaking PDA. I have my contacts, tasklist, appointments, email on it. The T9 text entry is infinitely more convenient and faster than stylus. The only thing that is lacking is the screen and I'm sure that will be rectified in future phone revisions. Plus my phone gets battery life measured in days rather than hours.

      Funny you mention that. My phone, a Sanyo SCP-4900, goes 7 to 9 days on a single charge, and I never turn it off, I usually forget to do that.

      I replace the batteries on my Palm m100 maybe twice a year, and they are AAA alkalines.

  4. go for the 1945 by xot · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I just bought an ipaq1945 n it awesome!. It lets you do everything high end pda's do except the WiFi.
    The 1715 is a bad bargain unless it significantly cheaper besides its got no wireless options and you'd end up paying more putting those extra cards!
    As for the 6315 I like to keep my phone and PDA seperate, don't know about you guys.
