Are we going to see a full review of the 5550?

If anyone can point me to any I would be greatful!

This device had been available for a week now you would have though there would be more reviews about? There were loads for the 2210 but no-one seems to care about the 5550...

Cheers

I care. Maybe you could buy one and do a review. Even better, buy one for me and I'll do the review. :lol:

Thanks but it's okay!

I just would have thought by now one of the Pocket PC sites wouldh have done a review of the thing!

I would buy one myself and write a review but they are not available in the UK yet...

CNet does have a review here (http://reviews.cnet.com/HP_iPaq_H5550/4505-3128_7-30419930.html?tag=pdtl-list), although it's not good compared to reviews done by PPC-specific sites.

That's funny Steve. After one of those days where nothing seems to fall into place I needed a smile.
What made it so amusing was I saw the first post and thought exactly the same as you. You beat me to it!!
Heck, I'll review anything someone wants to buy for me, PPC, Bentley, private island, I don't care.
Thanks for the laugh.

Keep an eye out on the website that I write for - PDAJunkie.net. I finished a E755 vs. H5555 comparison, including benchmarks. It's coming out soon.

Glad I could I help. Does that mean I get two Abbot's? :beer:

If someone is going to do a review, could you please, please, please explain how to connect to multiple networks. I asked this question in a separate thread (trying to connect to a TMobile hotspot in addition to my home network), but I haven't got any answers and I'm feeling desperate. I posted the question here, on Brighthand, on PocketPCPassion, and in the Microsoft PocketPC Wireless group. :(

Obviously, for some of us (or me at least) WiFi is not simple. :)

That's just 'cuz you're Disconnected. :D Wait 'til you become Connected, then you'll understand.

I am currently only partially disconnected. In the past I have been fully connected from time to time, and hope to be so again. :D

Surely, if I beg often enough, on enough boards, someone will take pity on me and enlighten me, if only to shut me up.

At least one of those four packs of cans with the widgit I would say.

Well I just signed up for the T-Mobile. Have not been to Starbucks to try it out yet.
What I'm planning to do is make a new profile in my wireless setup with the tmobile ssid. I hope when that is done it will just work. I've always done this with my laptop on different networks without problems,

dh,

What you're planning sounds logical, but unfortunately, I don't know how to set up a profile.

If you're successful, I'd appreciate knowing how you did it. Thanks.
