I have always liked the idea of keyboards. My Diamond mako was great for that reason. Folding keyboards are of course great as well. When I first saw it, to me it seemed a bit large. I agree with the 2215, 1945, and 1935 being a better size of a pda. I dont mind them giving more screen real esate, but it just seems to long to me. I havent seen one in person obviously, so maybe that will change when I have the opportunity to try it out at a store. I am also wondering how the keys feel and how easy they are to use. The size of the keys and everything else that goes along with it.

I hope they use the same type of keyboard that HP provided with the Jornada 560 series accessory. I loved the tactile feel and layout of that keyboard and would be happy with something along those lines. I would also like good keyboard integration so my stylus use could be minimized.
I wish there was more RAM or ROM, but I guess we can't get everything in one device yet. The large battery, with optional accessory, looks promising.

It looks like HP just stuck an after market keyboard on the 4100 and called it a product. I like the Treo 600 design: the keyboard is much more compact, elegant, and pocketable.
Maybe when HP ups the screen to VGA they will design a better keyboard for this unit. Again, more reasons to wait until the next release.

I'm with you I treid a UX50 for 14 days, that keyboard rocks, now if it was only PPC. I think it's the space between the keys, something. The OS and applications were just terrible though. (.txt viewers :P). Battery life also was an issue for me. Anyway...43xx needs CF and I would be even more "in" than I already am.

I DEFINITELY can't wait to get one of these. It would be like my trusty ol' 5455 but with a keyboard! Sure the screen's smaller, but so's the device (by a little :lol: )
I'm with Jason - a built-in keyboard's where it's AT!

If I had to choose between the h5550 and this device I would certainly go for the h4350, just for the keyboard.

Is the h4355 really shorter than an iPaq h5000? That's almost too amazing to believe. But if it's true, then I would just have to give anyone a "Three Stooges" *poink!* who complained about the size.
On the other hand, I'll probably go with the h4155. I mean, c'mon, it's among the smallest PPC's ever, with a ridiculous featureset. I would go for the keboard only if it was detachable. Thumb keyboards are accessories, not essentials.
