I got my 5450 the day it was released and although it works flawlessly (never upgraded to WM2003) it has really become boring. I have owned this device at least twice as long as any previous PDA (11 and counting).
I considered the 5550 when it first came out but could not justify the change just for the 128MB even though I could really use that.
Yes, I have pre-ordered the 4700 and am patiently waiting. I don't think it looks that ugly and really my concern is what's inside. As long as it's ergonomically friendly to hold and use (and not bright red or blue or something) I can live with the looks.
I am looking forward to the crisp VGA screen and I think I understand the logic around the 128MB ROM/64MB RAM. Actually I was loading most of my applications in File Store before many on this site said that was bad and that the apps just ran tooooo slow. Actually in my experience, the difference is minor at best.
I also look forward to the dual slots. I don't want to get into a shouting match over CF vs. SD (quite enough of that today). I just want two memory slots, any two memory slots. My guess is that having two slots using the same media would confuse a device and that's why there are none (as far as I know a dual same slot anything does not exist).
No, the 4700 is probably not the "perfect" device, but it's the best thing to come along in a very long time.
