Wan't another incase this breaksby willy13664 - February 12, 2009

Pros: Extended battery adds bulk but makes it easier to hold. Add a BT GPS and tomtom, use wifi hotties for travel inf. Great for movies on plane with ANC headphones Philips £20.

Cons: Original battery life. Update rom - stable then. No good for invading Poland and the low countries, but otherwise...yummy.

Pros: Almost everything: sound quality, speed, screen...

Cons: Battery life. Definitely buy a spare one.

Incredibly capable and light-weightby - January 21, 2005

Pros: Sleek design, thin and light, powerful processor, crystal clear screen, built in wifi and bluetooth.

Cons: HP does not offer an Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition upgrade for this unit (which means no landscape mode and other additional SE features.) The IrDA device is HORRIBLE; it literally has a range of less than 6 inches.

Nice Features - Terrible Reliabilityby - January 12, 2005

Pros: I really like the HP brand and have always been loyal. My local rep saw I had recieved a Dell Axim as a gift and stated he would give me a new H4150. I have now had it for a few weeks, and I must say it is a huge disappointment. Battery life is terribl

Cons: Slim Chassis

Integrated 802.11b Wireless Brokenby - January 12, 2005

Pros: Small and thin as compared to other PDA devices on the market. Decent screen.

Cons: Integrated 802.11b wireless network (configured for WPA TKIP EAP-TLS) consistently loses DHCP IP/connectivity. Requires some fudging around to mount the PDA on the cradle. Not suitable for corporate use until Compaq fixes wireless networking problem. B

Great choice for power users who like a little style as wellby - January 12, 2005

Pros: I've had mine for about six months now, and I have to say that I love almost everything about it. This was my first pda, and I will definately never be without one again. WiFi is a very nice feature, but I don't use it too often because I'm too cheap to

Cons: As has been mentioned, I need to do a soft reset about once every couple of weeks, not surprising given how much I ask of it. Batterry power has not been a major issue, but I have had it get down to the point where it warns me a few times. Definately ne

slim perfectionby - January 12, 2005

Pros: Small enough for your pocket so I use is constantly. battery life is consistent after 1 year

Cons: just get a rhino case

Unbelievable built in wifi rangeby - January 12, 2005

Pros: I got this for christmas. Im 18, and have used it at several hotspots at various malls and bookstores. The wi-fi range is truly unbelievable. I have a wireless network in my room, and i was still getting a signal outside in front of my neighbors house, at

Cons: The 1800mah battery disallows for the use of my aluminum case, as it is slightly thincker than the original battery.

Manufacturer won't Upgrade to 2003SEby - January 12, 2005

Pros: I love the size, wireless and speed. I take mine everywhere for work and play.

Cons: Apparently the manufacturer decided to not create an upgrade for Windows 2003SE. Hell I bought the thing last month?

Great Buy. Wrote half my master's thesis on it.by - January 12, 2005

Pros: Highly recommend. Brilliant screen. Small and light with good connectivity with both wireless 802.1 and Bluetooth. Almost as good as a laptop. Wrote half my engineering master's thesis on it at coffee shops.

Cons: Shorter then desired battery life. There is no EndNote program for the PDA and Excel has no graphing utility. Also the setup to connect to wireless networks is a bit combersume. But other than that no complaints so far after having it about a year.

The best pocket pc!by - January 12, 2005

Pros: this has it ALL even regular backups no longer lose info Wifi! internet on pocket pc! bluetooth! man this baby kicks!

Cons: batteries can run out quicker on wifi... but can buy a higher capapcity battery! AND charger charges 2 batteries at a time! and connects to cradle usb and internet at same time as charging...great stuff!

Cons: Needs a stronger battery.

Great Design better performance than expectedby - December 10, 2004

Pros: Designed to fit comfortably in your hand. Light weight. Speed is excellent and Wifi is better than expected. The newly designed HP Ipaqs have a lot of features but are not as elegant. For two weeks tried a side by side comparison between the new HP 3115 a

Cons: Battery life could be better.Blue tooth is a little difficult to set up. Landscape mode and more memory would be nice.

HP Support is terrible! Screen cracks easilyby - December 8, 2004

Pros: Bluetooth is very cool Screen is great Speed is ok Slim form factor is cool

Cons: Hard to set up WiFi Lack of support from HP Drop it and it is $176 for a new screen no keyboard

With the extra gadgets it's a little $$ but well worth itby - November 23, 2004

Pros: Good color, nice software package, EASY wireless and Bluetooth setup. I got the long life batt, 521 memory, and the keyboard. I use it in meetings where a laptop is just too much. I think this thing Kicks Butt!

Cons: Fear of loosing it ;-) HP should make 1 case that carries both the keyboard and the PDA. but you can't have everything.

Great! Very Happy with the 4150!by - November 2, 2004

Pros: I needed a unit that did it all, but wasn't the most expensive out there, and I couldn't be more happy. Wi-Fi works fast, MP3 ability...I feel like I have basically a tiny little notebook PC. Can't go wrong!

Cons: Maybe the battery could last longer, but it is a great unit!

Great things come in small packageby - October 16, 2004

Pros: Small light weight. wi-fi, blue tooth. Has room for memmory card. voice recorder, can play small video recordings.

Cons: fradgile

Poor hardware designby - October 4, 2004

Pros: At first I liked it so much that I had a couple of my friends bought it. Overal specs are good, nice looking, but don't think it's worth the money. Lots of accessaries and compatible software are available.

Cons: Now I've been using it for almost a year and started to regret that I bought this. Here are the reasons. The top: microphone, memory card, and headphone jack are located at the top making it susceptable to water. My previius Cassiopeia had memory card

Dell Axim is better bang for the buck.by - September 14, 2004

Pros: Form factor - nice and slim.

Cons: For a lot less money, you can get a MORE features (better ira, faster processor, etc - do a search on the specs) on an Axim X30 High.

Great, small and functional PDAby - September 6, 2004

Pros: Small form factor, fantastic WiFi (gets signals my IBM T41 sometimes doesn't!), zippy processor, and tremendous functionality. I gave up a Tungsten T3 to get this, and couldn't be happier. It's tiny and works great!

Cons: The screen isn't the best out there. Frankly, it's pretty mediocre. They really need to put a better one in the next model. The IR port location is terrible.

Great PDA, but needs more memory.by - September 5, 2004

Pros: Good performance, WiFi performance good, nice screen, wide range of accessories. Nice set of included applications. I have used this model for 6+ months and am very happy with it.

Cons: Internal memory is small, and you quickly run out if you use your PDA for many things, as I do. Wifi configuration could be easier, and blue tooth configuration is even harder.

Incredible Pocket PCby - September 2, 2004

Pros: I purchased the h4150 recently and I have loved every second of it. It is very small but incorperates Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Cons: Cannot use T.V Remote Control unless you get like 1inch from the t.v

Best PDA I have had!!by - September 1, 2004

Pros: Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth. These were a must for me. The size is small and compact, perfect for carrying in a purse (yes I'm female). The screen is amazing, crisp and clear - no washed out colors. Comes with a case and extra stylus.

Cons: SLight yellowing to the screen when looked from the bottom at an angle. Only seems to affect white. I read that this is due to the TFT screen's transreflective capabilities, and since it's awesome in bright sunlight, I can't complain! I always look at it

Best Handheldby - September 1, 2004

Pros: Lightwight, built-in WiFi and bluetooth. 400 MHz what else do you want?

Cons: HP will not upgrade to Windwows Pocket PC 2003 SE

Lightweight easy to useby - September 1, 2004

Cons: A little costly.

Bluetooth with GPS option is greatby - September 1, 2004

Pros: built in Bluetooth and Wifi makes htis small package a great value. I have used two palm units over the past several years and finally found the first MS based unit that can compete!

Cons: MS based. have to reset too often

Useful, Streamlined, Highly Competentby - September 1, 2004

Pros: This device packs all of the best features of the ipaq line series into one seriously compact handheld. Wi-fi (which is why I bought it), works very well. Bluetooth is there, but I still see no practical purpose for it. Screen is clear, memory is blazi

Cons: Everytime you insert a memory card, you have to perform a 'soft' reboot on the machine. This is a really stupid software flaw.

At the top of the Pocket PC marketby - July 23, 2004

Pros: Very fast, even outpacing some of the 624MHz units that are showing up. Very portable, fast screen, excellent wi-fi, bluetooth capabilities

Cons: Button rocker isn't the best for games because of the compact size of the unit. The screen which was made by Sony does change colors when viewing from an angle.

Amazing! It has does have mail!by - July 4, 2004

Pros: I found this very misleading, it does have a mail program, it's called umm.... "Inbox". The 4350 has the keyboard built in, same specs. You can even buy keyboards for the device! It's perfect!

Cons: None

Bye Bye Toshibaby - June 22, 2004

One sweet PDAby - June 10, 2004

Pros: The wi-fi is seamless, it never has crashed on me, it's the SMALLEST PDA you can find with Wi-fi. This is a great thing, it fits well in your pocket. Get a nice size SD card and you'll have a mp3/movie player for the road. It's just so small, the size

Cons: A bit pricey. I found mine for 390 (back in November 2004), just look around online.

Features, power, ease of usby - June 8, 2004

Pros: Easy interaction with XP, WI-FI rocks, active synching, and the microsoft office tools

Cons: Support was at best shakey as they read to me out of a book and had no clue how to really fix the problem.

A GREAT PDA!!by - May 26, 2004

Pros: Fast porcessor, beatiful screen, dual memory card slots, bluetooth, a much better OS than PALM

Does More than I even imagined...by - May 26, 2004

Pros: Built in Wi-Fi for wireless internet at work or school, Fast processor, beautiful display, stable software. there is nothing this thing can't do

Cons: since it is possilble to do so much, the 64m of ram it comes with goes fast. it should have come with more. you have to buy sd cards to install more programs and save files.

Lotta features in a small packageby - May 3, 2004

Pros: Bluetooth, WiFi, memory, compact size, good processor

Cons: short battery life when online, no digital camera I have owned 2 Palm and 1 Sony PDAs. I didn't think I would ever leave Palm OS...but the package this PDA offered changed my mind. I looked at the new Sony line-up, but none offered Bluetooth. The Sony

Best Pocket PC Out There!!by - April 29, 2004

Pros: Slim Design & Nice Finish. I have owned the HP 1910, the 1945 (which I accidently smashed), and now the 4150. It has the compact size of the others, just better software, quicker processor and of course, WIFI, which works like a charm. I use this e

Cons: SD Card 'plug and play' is inconsistent at best, and requires soft reboot at worst. Also, you have to go through 4 or 5 menus just to search for a wi-fi signal (it doesn't indicate that it has found any unless you click all the way through to the Connect

Nothing but goodness from this little beastby - April 23, 2004

Pros: Wi-fi is awesome, the speed is great (plays quake really well), built in calender/organizer is wonderful, it's all around a good pda. Surfing the web from a pda couldn't be easier, and with macromedia flash, you can enter about any site.

Cons: None, really. Battery life could be better, but that's a given. The only thing I wish it had was the IR remote control program, my buddy has too much fun changing channels on bar TVs. I guess it could be downloaded, though...

Simply the best PDA to dateby - April 21, 2004

Pros: WiFi, bluetooth, size,software bundle, voice recorder, ok support

THE Best PDA I`ve ever had!by - April 20, 2004

Pros: Speed, functionality, conectivity and the best lil` screen I`ve ever seen + compactness. I don`t want a huge PDA with VGA screens, 3D cards and what not - I want PDA`s like this little iPAQ, otherwise I would`ve bought a tablet PC.

Cons: I can`t really think of any cons to this product!

Great Functionality and Reliabilityby - April 20, 2004

Pros: What more could you want out of a PDA. WiFi, Bluetooth, IR, Fast Processor, extremely lightweight, great color, good battery life and the sound ins't half bad.

Cons: Limited Memory. Need to purchase an SD card. Only likes to support microsoft-esque file formats.

Wonderful PDAby - April 13, 2004

Pros: I used a Toshiba e755 before. That was a nice unit, but was too bulky. I broke it on accident so I got this instead. Love that its only as big as my wallet and can be taken with me just about everywhere. The WiFi is working much better than the one on

Cons: No rotary scroll switch. I double my PDA as an MP3 player. On the toshiba, I was able to program the rotary switch to play/pause, next track and last track. Made it easy to use especially while driving. I was able to program the key pad to do run the

Great PDA - Hate the Screenby - April 10, 2004

Pros: Built in WiFi & Bluetooth Relative simplicity of WM 2003 Nice form factor Sturdy

Cons: I HATE the yellow screen. It tints photos etc too much. For that reason, I took it back. It is NOT a "slight" yellowing as some have suggested. It is very obvious. Low battery life

Save money and buy something betterby - March 30, 2004

Pros: Pros are definatly going to be the size, built in wireless networking and bluetooth, Microsoft based software

Cons: Battery is horrible, wont even last the day, tech support's solution to everything is resetting the unit assuming that you want to wait on the phone, Price to what you get, the only thing really this has more than anyhting else is the built in wireless ne

No compromises PDA - best of everythingby - March 29, 2004

Pros: built-in Bluetooth and wifi, Windows Mobile 2003 (critical for solid wifi support), SURPRISINGLY STRONG BATTERY LIFE especially when using wireless features, sdio support, super small yet easily handled, standard headphone jack and great sound quality (ca

Cons: -Clie line still sports the best screen in the PDA universe - but the 4150 has as good a screen as you'll find in a Pocket PC. WindowsMedia interface could use some work, clie interface is better adapted to PDA use - MS's problem. Don't get me wrong - I

Best Business PDAby - March 27, 2004

Pros: I'm a long time Palm user who spent a lot of time before zeroing in on the 4150. The WiFi works like a champ. The IR works great. I haven't used the Bluetooth yet. The integration with my laptop and Office Apps is great. The ability to drop a wmv fil

Cons: I can download email directly from WiFi and leave it on the corporate server or I can download email from the computer through the ActiveSync link. I have not figured out how to set up the ActiveSync mail to connect directly through WiFi. Maybe it can b

Best PDA for your moneyby - March 27, 2004

Pros: I had a toshiba e310 for over a year and now wanted the wifi feature. After reading reviews decided this is the PDA. Had this ipaq for about a month now. The specs shows it, it has everything, and everything works as well as advertised, what else is there

Cons: It is true that the white on the screen has a slight yellowish tint when viewed at a low angle. But since I don't view my ppc from less than a 45 deg angle (who does), it's not a problem at all. Battery life is short when used with wifi, but since the cr

Great package but with flawsby - March 18, 2004

Pros: Has everything most people could want; Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, small size, e-mail, etc.

Cons: Screen is beautiful when viewed at exactly 90 degrees. In a natural position of holding the ipaq, all white areas are very yellow. I heard this problem had been fixed, but apparantly not. After returning the one I purchased, I looked at several others

3 Month Reviewby - March 17, 2004

Pros: I got the IPAQ 4155 for Christmas. After reading the reviews I made sure I left enough clues for Santa (my wife) that this was PDA I wanted. Considering this is my first PDA, I really do not have much to compare it to but what more can anyone need? I p

Cons: Not much to complain about but sometimes games start crawling and only a soft reboot resolves the issue. Transfering MP3s are also a project in itself but since the device is too big anyway for the gym (just for the gym) I got myself a dedicated MP3 play

It's Real Good!by - March 16, 2004

Pros: Great Wifi signal strength. Beautiful display. Great Programs included. This is an excellent Pocket PC with a powerful processer. I haven't tried the bluetooth yet. But this unit is a pleasure to hold.

Cons: The Battery is weak and the cradle and case is cheap. I bought a hotsync and charge cable and a beautiful new case to resolve two of these issues. I will most likely buy a new battery and/or cigarette light adapter to resolve the weak battery issue when I

Notebook replacementby - March 13, 2004

Pros: With the Wi-Fi connection to my home network I'm able to sync without using a cradle and at work I can sync with the cradle. This device keeps both settings so I can sync different things at home and at work. The battery life is good as long as your no

Cons: None

Best Worldwide Service for the best PDAby - March 8, 2004

Pros: I live in Perú, and This is my Third iPaq (3950 and 5450 were my previous). I'm really happy for the service. This is the best PDA, with a good screen, full of features (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) at a fair price. I think the battery las long enough to listen t

Cons: They're not big issues but there are some things I would have changed: 1. I would have kept the up-down volume and recorder button. You could have also added a scroll wheel. 2. The IR port should have been located if not on the top, on one of the sides.

AWESOME PDA!!!by - March 7, 2004

Pros: Truly pocket sized machine. Speaker is great.

Cons: battery life is so so. hard to put in cradle. stylus is skinny but usable. voice record button isn't in the best place for the included case, the case is good however.

Pros: No problem synching with my wireless network, checking emails, uploading avantgo content. Bright screen and well placed buttons

Cons: Wish it had a wheel or other device to make using explorer a one hand operation. Otherwise none.

Can't imagine anything better.by - February 22, 2004

Pros: I've had it for a month and it's great. I had the Toshiba e310 for the last year and it was good too, and this is a great upgrade.

Cons: I wish that it had a jog-wheel on the side like my old Toshiba has, but I guess that with the smaller size some things have to be sacrificed. Significant yellow tint when viewed from an angle below. It takes a while to get used to, but now I don't even

The best ipaq i have seen yet!!!by - February 19, 2004

Pros: Excellent, what a product, i used to have the 2210, but i sold that and bought this one instead, the size and feel is so sexy, its am amazing product.

It's not the same as the 1945by - February 17, 2004

Pros: The 4155 and the 1945 are not the same. They use different versions of the Pocket PC 2003 OS. The 1945 comes with Professional version while the 4155 has the Premium version (more features, tools, etc…). The 1945 has built in Bluetooth but lacks WiFi. The

Cons:

Marvelousby - February 15, 2004

Cons: Slight yellow tint, poor IrDA, Below average battery life

Fantastic Multi-Function Handheldby - February 10, 2004

Pros: Joyce (2/7/03) complained that it was removing her email from the server. I use mine daily to check my email when away from the office and have never experienced this problem. If it were in fact doing this, it would be a serious problem as I have yet to

Cons: BATTERY LIFE. As mention above, I run Bluetooth or Wi-Fi almost constantly. This results in a significantly reduced battery life. That said, I probably should get a bigger battery and not complain, but a bigger battery involves a bigger battery door an

Excellent PDA, i upgraded from a palm tungsten T, which was quite good. The 4150 has everything.by - February 10, 2004

Pros: wifi, bluetooth. Used bluetooth with nokia 6600 to link up to the internet. Very impresive specs for its size.

Cons: Im quite dissappointed with the battery life.

iPAQ 4150 is greatby - February 7, 2004

Pros: Ease of use. I had WiFi up in running in no time. Web browser displays are great. I had tried to do the same with a Sony Clie without success. I'll take the smaller screen and ease of use any day.

Cons: No major cons. Finding settings can take some detective work.

Great style, size and functions!by - February 7, 2004

Pros: Great produce at reasonable price considering competition.

Cons: Wireless email removes email messages from server. In 2 calls to HP, techs said there was no way to configure it so that it doesn't do this. I was told not to use wireless for my email if I wanted to leave messages on the server and just sync the email

Cool pocket pc, my second!by - February 3, 2004

Pros: Small, light, reliable. Wifi is excellent on this machine. Battery life is alright but what do you expect for something that is really, really light. Personally, i would like it to be more solid but hey light is in, i guess.

Cons: Cradle needs some work, it's pretty frustrating at times.

An excellent Pocket PCby - January 30, 2004

Pros: Compact, lightweight, WiFi, Bluetooth, and microsoft pocket 2003 along with a fast processor make this the best Pocket PC for me. Plus, I have had no problems running any of the extra software I downloaded, e.g.; DVD to Pocket PC.

Cons: Glare on the screen in certain positions, this is a problem with any screen this size.

I Love my 4150!by - January 21, 2004

Pros: I don't know what GTNTP is talking about in the second post, the 1945 does NOT have built in Wi-Fi, it has Bluetooth. I absolutly LOVE my 4150. This is my third PDA, second PPC. I won't go back to PALM. I never cradle my 4150 now that I have two batte

Cons: I can't think of any.

very good but this is only my second pdaby - January 21, 2004

Pros: small and very easy to fit in the pocket. lot's of features.

Cons: it took a while to set up the sync program. media player is confusing to search for media.

Affordable & Handyby - January 21, 2004

Pros: This little thing has the same screen size as the 5550. Wireless is really easy to deploy and easily picks up any "broadcasted" wireless signals. Software is easy to install.

Cons: I wish this had the option of 128 MB built in memory, but I couldn't find one.

A Seamless Extension of my PC -- Amazing!by - January 21, 2004

Pros: I'm really not a "techie". I'm just a person who wants a device that operates reliably and intuitively. I've found it with my ne IPAQ h4155! Here's what I like: 1. Brilliant display. 2. Totally compatible with Office 2003 and Windows XP Pro. 3. Complet

Cons: Very few and minor. 1. Buttons are a bit small but manageable 2. Screen has a slight yellowish casr when viewed from the side.

This machine is justby - January 21, 2004

Pros: Small, Lite, Bright, and Nifty. Fast, Action Packed and Always Ready.

Cons: Haven't found any yet. I just need to find more places that have 802.11b access - - this is leading edge.

The best value a PocketPC can have!by - January 20, 2004

Pros: Light weight & small; great WiFi functions; great applications; and the best price out of the iPaq family (for the features it holds)!

Cons: The ONLY thing I can say about it is... no Compact Flash. I honestly wish HP would keep putting CF into most of their iPaqs; I have the 2215 (which I love to death), and CF was the reason I bought it (mostly). I guess HP thinks that if they keep the WiF

Bluetooth is a painby - January 18, 2004

Pros: Nice lightweght PDA with all features, but

Cons: Bluetooth won't automatically connect ot my SonyEricsson T68i (although paire). HP didn't offer any solution so far (almost 2 months now).

It Just Works! -- Replaced a NEW Palm Tungsten T3by - January 17, 2004

Pros: Speed of processor, bright, brilliant display and excellent graphics. Total compatibility with MS XP Pro, Office 2003 & Outlook. Comprehensive software bundle eliminates the expense of purchasing many third party apps. "Active-Sync" automatically sy

Cons: Minor at best. Buttons are just a bit too small but manageable. The screen has a little yellowish cast when viewed at an angle.

Best Pocket PC !by - January 13, 2004

Pros: Too many to list, wifi, blue tooth, sd slot, small form factor, easy to use. I did a lot of research and the 4150 fit all my needs. The screen looks great I have no problem with the infamous "yellow" tint. It only occurs at extreme viewing angles.

Cons: I haven't found any yet. I don't think the cost it a con since you get a lot for your money and it compares well with other PPCs with the same features. As others have stated if you want a keyboard get a detachable.

Just to clarify another the 1945 has bluetooth not wi-fi, making the 4150 a better choice overall.by - January 13, 2004

Pros: Everything

Cons: Battery life not to good.

Phenomenal product.by - January 9, 2004

Pros: I could go on and on, but to sum it up, design very intelligent, Wifi works extremely well, display phenomenal. Hard to imagine better PDA. I added memory, 1800 battery & slip on keyboard (makes it the equivalent of 4350 -why get larger form of 4350

Cons: Product feature rich but, as is typical for HP, documentation weak. Still, worth working a little harder to utilize features.

A step toward perfection.by - January 7, 2004

Pros: I had a 3900 with the same features sans the wireless that was twice the size. Compact and full featured. Now if they could get a cell version. I prefer the smaller length to the next one up.

Cons: On board memory could be better and a larger battery would have been nice.

Top Of The Lineby - January 4, 2004

Pros: This thing is fast, wi-fi discovered my home network as soon as I put the battery in for the first time!Internet is fun to use and seems faster than my desktop.Listening to music broadcasted from london is pretty cool.

Cons: It should be easier to put music on it. There were absolutely no instructions, so I had to think of it myself by copying the music to a playlist in windows media player(desktop),converting it to windows media format, sending it to the PPC folder and final

Sleek, fast and easy to set upby - December 30, 2003

Pros: Love the wi-fi & bluetooth capabilies; both working well and easy to set up. Finally switched from Palm and wished I'd done it sooner. Screen is bright and clear and programs easy to use. Having dithered between the 4155 and the 4355 am glad I went wi

Cons: The 4155 was sure hard to get hold of and not cheap. The cradle is a pain at first but you have to tilt the PPC forward and ease it on at an angle, then it's easy every time. Volume on the MP3 is very quiet with headphones and only enough for 7 songs. D

BEST PPC ON THE MARKETby - December 29, 2003

Pros: Great Size, power and functionality. My first pocket pc, after switching from palm. I'll NEVER go back. The 4150(5) is AWESOME!

Pros: Love the wi-fi, sending email via wi-fi. Sleek and stylish. Easy to use form factor. I wish I had known more about this when I was doing my research, so I will post it here for others who might have similar questions. Wi-fi web surfing on the PDA is an i

A must-have productby - December 2, 2003

Pros: Fast. Very easy setup of WI-FI and Bluetooth. Feels good in the hand. Great color display. I purchased the 1800 extended battery; however, the standard battery is sufficient for non-WIFI users. I also tested the 4350 model. It is a great pda to

Cons: Very few. The battery compartment switch seems hard to open. This is aggrevating; especially since I switch between the standard and extended batteries.

Pros: great screen. easy to connect to wi-fi or bluetooth. very fast!

Cons: can't put it down! would be nice if it had 128mb of RAM. get the bigger battery if you use wi-fi a lot.

Best slim PDA on the market!!by - November 14, 2003

Pros: I love this thing. It has the right form factor, 400 mHZ proc, SD - industry standard and smallest memory slot, WiFi AND BlueTooth!!! The thing rocks.

Cons: Only con is a slightly short battery life. It gets about 3 1/2 hours on a full charge, but you can always buy the larger battery (I think).

NOTHING on the market can touch this PPCby - November 11, 2003

Pros: The 4150's size is perfect and pocketable. The RAM is workable at 64MB (though more is always better) I recommend buying an SD card for storage. Built-in wireless and Bluetooth are the main selling factors. Do not consider a PDA without wireless because y

Cons: No remote control program - but you can't have it all I guess!

Can't put it this gadget down...by - November 10, 2003

Pros: I got it mainly for the WiFi. Use it at home so I can be the perfect couch potato and never leave my chair to access email and the web. Unbelievably fast web browser in this baby. Screen is crystal clear and all apps run fast.

Cons: Only after reading about the infamous "yellow screen" issue on the web did I notice that, yes, the screen turns slighty yellow if you tilt the unit down, away from a normal viewing angle. Any one who would complain about this is either anal or also tries

High End Features in a Small Packageby - November 10, 2003

Pros: Very small size ,(just slighty thicker then my old Palm VX), great screen, good distance on the Wi-Fi Card, Fast CPU, SDIO, removable battery. This is a great device for the gadget head.

Cons: The cradle is a little awkward.

Best PDA I've seen in a while...by - November 7, 2003

Pros: I haven't owned or operated a pda since my old Palm V. So, the 4155 is definitely a pleasant surprise. Great screen, extremely easy wifi use, nice software package, quick response to the touch, awesome compact size. I like this one over the 4350, becaus

Cons: Have had to soft restart a couple times, but I think that is due to new software. Actually that soft restart is a god send at times. A bit on the expensive side, but sometimes you gotta fork over the big bucks to get such quality. They say an expanded

Best "Real" Pocket PCby - November 7, 2003

Pros: This is the best Pocket PC out there that can really fit in your pocket. WiFi bluetooth and a great screen. The battery life with the WiFi is also very good. I would highly recommend to anyone that wants built in WiFi and a small size

BEST PDA ON THE MARKETby - October 29, 2003

Pros: SIZE, WEIGHT, WIRELESS This PDA is by far the best one on the market. Its size is unbelieveable for having intergrated 802.11b wirless functions. The screen is bright, clear and I have not noticed the yellow tint everyone seems to talk about with other I

My 5th and BEST PDA!by - October 28, 2003

Pros: Message from a POWER-USER...Best value in the market. I use my PDA for over 5-6 hrs daily. I have owed a Palm III, Handspring, Ipaq 3630, Sony Cleo, and now the IPAQ 4150. For $410.00 you get size speed, memory,and wifi all in a new rugged package.

Cons: Honestly...cant find one!!

Great product, expensiveby - October 27, 2003

Pros: I got the 1940 and my colleague got the 4150 a week later. Great units, we both switched from Palm for good. The displayes are excellent. Some people have a problem with the tint, others do not notice it. Same for ClearType, some people love it (like me

Cons: 1. Price - Adding a decent SD card (essential) bring the total to over $600. This is a lot of money for a (powerful) organizer. For example, a tiny second hand laptop like the Portege goes for $200 on eBay and provide so much more utility. Of course, th

All PDAs are compromises but this is the best I've usedby - October 25, 2003

Pros: The Wifi range is ecellent and the size is impressive. Don't go by reviews by people who haven't actually used the device.

Cons: Slight yellow tint to screen but I guess you can't have it all.

best PDA.......nuff saidby - October 22, 2003

Pros: 1)Nice and light weight. 2)Beautifull screen (and no yellow tint like the 19xx series...by the way the tint didn't exist on the 2215 either). 3)Fast. 4)WiFi works almost as good as a 3rd party CF wifi card. Had not issues linking up to my Linksys rout

Cons: 1)Batter is a 1000ahm, but there is an option for a 1500ahm battery.

State of the art - in compact PDA'sby - October 21, 2003

Pros: Outstanding PDA. Great to have WiFi, bluetooth (I guess),SD slot, sharp transreflective display, strong battery, and perfect form factor. It took this to switch me from Palm.

Cons: I'd always like more battery life, but I don't want to give up this form factor. I could always buy an extra battery.

Best handheld I've ownedby - October 20, 2003

Pros: Wireless and Bluetooth come standard.

Cons: No CF slot, 8 megs of the 64 are not useable.

What about the 1945by - October 18, 2003

Pros: You guys statements seem to suggest that this is the first lightweight HP with Wi-Fi guilt in. What about the 1945? It has built in Wi-Fi. It does not have the 400 CPU but it has everything else that this unit has.

Cons:

No consumer grade IrDA functionality or NEVO Remote Control applicationby - October 13, 2003

Pros:

Cons: What happened to the Consumer IrDA functionality and that really cool NEVO Remote Control application??? HP made the same blunder again as they had done earlier (by excluding Consumer Infrared & NEVO on the HP iPAQ 5550 as well!)
