Default Bye Bye HP... Welcome back Dell

Well after problems with both my 2750 and 4700 that where bad enough to have HP Tech support instruct me to RMA the units I am walking away from the HP line up altogether and headed back to Dell. I had a great time with my X3i before I changed over to the 2750 and based on that I just ordered my x50v when I got home from work.

Next thing I need to do is to order the DPair Aluminum Case and Extended Battery package from www.aximcases.com.

You've done exactly what I have done. Not the best of all support with HP in the past year or two prompted me to move to Dell for the X50v. It was only reinforced by the fact that I've been very happy with my Inspiron since I purchased it last year.

HP make some great devices, but they need to do a bit of work in the support department before they gain my appeal once more.

Default Me too, sort of...

I've given up on HP after my 5555 was unreliable and after they did not release WM2003SE for it.

My new choice is Samsung, for the i730. I love the converged device!

I tried a converged device for about 2 months (xda) but it was just not I was looking for plus it just wasn't something I wanted to be holding up to my ear while making a call.

After using only HP for several years, from the 36xx to the 55xx, I bought the Dell x50v and it's by far the most stable unit I've ever had.

I really like it. It will take something spectacular to make me switch back to HP.

yea i used to be all hp but after they released their current line of devices, i wasnt so impressed anymore. seems like this round they are trying to make a buck more than to provide users what they want at the price they want. i mean comon, the hx2755 should have at least vga at that price and those top of the line specs.

Actually I should have just stayed with the Axim when I replaced my X3i in December but I didn't. I was happy with the 2750 I bought till it went crazy and HP authorized a return of via work so I figured I would try the 4700 because of the 4" screen. It took me less than a week to decide (12 hard resets and 4 calls to tech support) to decide enough was enough.

I agree with you totally, the 275x would be the perfect PPC (in my mind at least) if it had shipped with a VGA screen. Too bad HP was so short sighted again.
