Sven raises a lot of good points that you should keep in mind. Also, the rx3000 series isn't
just a multimedia device. It is a Pocket PC, and can perform many of the functions that other Pocket PCs can. HP marketed it as a multimedia device. It had a camera, which the hx4700 did not have, so for some users, they opted for the rx3715 instead of the hx4700. Apart from that, the Nevo package served as something enticing for many users. Windows Mobile 5 builds upon the media experience with improved capabilities in Windows Media 10 Mobile, online services and the Windows Media synchronisation functionality. What rx3000 user should be left out of something that the device is capable of having. I don't own one, but I can certainly feel the pain of those who will miss out on an upgrade to the new OS. This is the primary reason why my support for HP's upgrade policy has dropped to an all-time low. "Dude, I'm getting a Dell".
