Hardware advice

[CME2C]

I live in a rural area, so not many options to try devices. My wife wants a very small form factor Pocket PC. Needs to have Bluetooth built-in. What would you all recommend?

I have lots of older software that works great on 2003 Second Edition, so was looking at an older HP 1945 series. The Dell Axims 51V? are affordable, but seem bulky.

Compared to the h1945 (one of the slimmest devices around), anything can seem bulky. When put head-to-head with other VGA devices, the X51v is actually quite compact. It's an awesome device with plenty of bang for buck, and I'd highly recommend it if you can get your hands on one.

Thanks Darius. Ideally, I would get a 51V and give her my HP 2215, but she thinks even that is a little too big. I think the screen difference would probably convince her on the 51V though.

hp 1945 uses win mobile 2003(not 2003 SE). And yes, as darius mentioned, hp 1945 makes all devices looks bulky and HUGE. Also, since you have a lot of apps for SE, I would certainly recommend to go respective software vendors, so that you are sure that your much-need-software works on your new shiny X51(which a WM5 device)

Get Acer n311 if possible. It's a tiny device that's about the size of 1945 and it's cheaper than x51v. The only problem with n311 is that the device it hard to get in US.
