Default ok which one to get?

seems like all the ppc's that are coming out soon have been announced. So "wait and see what comes out" won't work.
I'm currently looking into getting a new ppc. time to update from hp 520.

i'd like one with atleast one built-in wireless capibility. I don't have any bluetooth things yet but planning on getting a phone at teh end of summer, so wifi is probably best, but i'm going to have to get a card anyway.

i don't need the 128 mb ram that some pda's have not ( i got like 16 now)

I'd like a good screen, mines currently 256 colors so anything would be great, but i'd like to watch movies, which leads to the next question

speed, i know 2200's are really fast, but won't all ppc "mobile" going to be fast. read the review of the 1940 @ cnet they're almost as fast :roll:

D-pad i'd like to play games (who doesn't?) not all the time just one that i can use the d-pad ( really hard playing palmGB w/o a d=pad)

size - its a "pocket" pc so i should be able to put it in my pocket, and not have my pants fall down

ppc mobile 2003 is a must either upgrade or installed already

Well, just a few comments that may or may not apply. I know much discussion here is about the 2215, and I am going to continue!

It is definitely a PocketPC. I am seriously impressed with the size of the 2215.

The D-pad seems to be good. I haven't played any games yet, but it is MUCH better than any of the big iPAQs at least, I've never used a 1900.

Some people have said something about a grid on the screen of the 2200, mine doesn't have that. Not all do. The screen is many light-years ahead of the Jornada 520! Transflective is awesome, and HP/Compaq has had among the best of PDA screens over the last few years. They were the first with reflective screens and then transflective. And it is good!

Wifi isn't built-in :cry: , but BT is, and there are two slots, so a wifi card should be easy to add.

Happy hunting.

Get ahold of an HP 1910 so you can see and feel the size and d-pad for yourself. That should give you a better idea whether you want to go with the 2215 or wait for the HP 1940.

Well wait and see the hands on user reviews - which ones are the "love it" and "hate it" of the bunch and get your money's worth!

I say go with the 2215. I feel nobody can go wrong with that PPC. The claims that the 1940 will be almost as fast make I cant really swallow. A 266 vs the 400...almost as fast? :? Oh well, we will just have to wait and see :lol: But at the moment... if you cant wait... go for the 2215

I definitely say ... wait for what DELL has to offer in the next 10 days or so.

Patience is virtue.

You mean what Dell might offer or do you know something specific?

I think it would be stupid for Dell to hold out and wait until everyone goes off and runs a 2215 or some of the new Toshis. I think they will make an announcement soon(i hope)

I had 9 Dell units before I gave them the total shaft. I wanted it to work so bad, but the quality control on those units is garbage. They better clean that up if they ever wish to succeed.

I bought 1 2215 and right out of the box it is perfect. My vote would be for the 2215.....
