Hope I haven't posted a duplicate.

I was looking to see if HP has updated their site on the purchase of the upgrade to WM2003, and it appears that they have posted dates. (well, maybe just time frames, no specifics.)

Taken from the HP.com.......

HP iPAQ Pocket PC 2003 Upgrade

If you purchased your iPAQ Pocket PC H5400, H3900 or H3800 series outside of the dates mentioned above, you may purchase the upgrade for the Pocket PC 2003 for $29.95 (US)*.

If you are not a resident of the US, please check your region's HP web site for pricing and order process information.

Product Availability:

IPAQ Pocket PC 5450 Series • Language Availability
• English Mid July
• French End of July
• German Mid to end of July
• Italian Early August
• Spanish Mid August
• Brazilian Portuguese Mid to end August
• Traditional Chinese End of August
• Simplified Chinese Early September


IPAQ Pocket PC H3900 Series • Language Availability
• English Mid July
• French Early September

IPAQ Pocket PC H3800 Series • Language Availability

Looks like some of the rumors on dates were fairly acurate....HP has updated their link to thge purchase page, but in HP fashion it lists the Compaq PPC2002 upgrade...

We're getting closer to WM2003..... :roll:

The purchase page has been updated. It looks like you can purchase WM2003 for the Ipaqs....

I tried to "add to shopping" cart, but it won't let me. Hopefully soon.

Is this the same version as the 2003 that comes with the 5555 or is anything left out?

Thanks,

Mona

I tried the link as well and I have just one question...

:soapbox:

Why is it that HP is letting pages that have dead ended links hit their production site??

This has been one of my BIGGEST complaints with this process from the beginning. Where the H€₤₤ is their QA Department?

K... I'm done (for) now.

That's a good question.

I also wonder why it is labled as Compaq and not HP. :mrgreen:

You have to start from scratch. First go here:

http://www.smb.compaq.com/dstore/home.asp?oi=E9CED&BEID=19701&SBLID=

Then click on Software & Peripherals (upper orange tab)

Then Handhelds & Calculators (right-hand grey box)

Then Handheld Software

Then Pocket PC Upgrades

And that ought to do it.


I copied these instructions from Paul P on the Brighthand Forum and it does work.

I tired out the directions above, but it takes you to the PPC2002 upgrade page. NOT WM2003.


Add to cart link still does not work.....Hurry up HP. :mrgreen:

I was able to place my order. My estimated shipping date is 28-July-03.

In order to get this to work, you should click on the PRODUCT link and not the Add to Cart link. that will add the item to your cart and then get the purchasing process going.


Kind Regards,
