Default iPaq 4700... Any regrets?

The question is simple...
Any 4700 owners have any regrets with their Pocket PC? If so what are they?

I ask because I am looking into buying a 4700. I know it's an older model, cost alot of money, HP's customer service stinks, and the PDA may never see Windows Mobile 5 at the rate HP is moving.

Still.....
I find the device very elegant. I actually really like the larger screen on the PDA, so much so that I feel it has already won me over. Personally I have been seceretly wanting a PDA with a bit larger screen than the current 3.7 inch ones. After playing with the 4700 the screen just feels more comfortable to read, almost giving the feeling of a miniture tablet PC. The 4700 also feels very comfortable to use in Landscape mode which is how I would like to use a PDA. The touch pad..though odd is very managable at least for me while in Landscape, and allows me to operate and open any program with one hand while in pointer mode, which I like.

Yes the 4700 is physically bigger, but it's tollerable for me, Yes the new Dell 51 really kicks @$$ and is cheaper...

So am I crazy for wanting and or thinking about getting the 4700 over the new Dell?
