Default Re: IPAQ 5450 is terrible

I decided to upgrade to a 5450 as I like to move with the technology and have a wireless LAN at home.

Having used the 5450 for two weeks I regret my decision to upgrade. I am on my second 5450 as I thought the first was faulty. It turns out the all seem to be flaky. I am having to soft reset about 6 times per day due to it freezing. I have carried out 4 hard resets and rebuilt trying to eliminate the problems none have worked.

The majority of the freezing seems to be when using Bluetooth and or WLAN but not limited to them.

I am wondering what problems others are experiencing and perhaps if significant we can lobby HP to get the thing sorted.

Having gone form a 3870 to a 3970 to a 5455, I find your comments somewhat interesting to say the least. One question for you, do you by any chance have a SanDisk SD card you are using with your 5455?
