The 4155 comes with iPaq Backup, which is an HP branded version of Sprite's Backup. Also, you get full versions of Resco File Explorer and WorldTime. Also, HP bundles their Print Utility, but that can be downloaded at any time.

These all come with the 4155. I'm not absolutely sure if HP includes this software with the 4150.

Its very new and if I dont brake the software seal I can return the unit after 14 days if I dont like it. Wanted to know if anything was worth while in the CD?

Yup, Resco File Explorer alone is worth the cost... it normally costs $30. WorldTime also normally costs $30. All in all, you're getting $60+ worth of free software with your new handheld!

if you open the package you can still return it... you got 14 days to try out the complete package, not look at the PDA and decide. Circuit City wont care or even CompUSA for that matter, as long as everything that came with it is in the box when being returned.

Yes, Resco Explorer is very good. Read my review of it on my Web site if you aren't familiar with it. Explorer only costs $25, though, not $30 (see the Explorer Web page).

However, you may not get Resco if you bought the 4150. I bought what was advertised as an iPAQ 5555, which comes with Resco. However, I got an iPAQ 5550, which does not include Resco. I got such a good price for the 5550 that I didn't complain, but the business models (the xx50s) may not include Resco, and you should know that.

The box should say whether it's the 4150 or the 4155. I suspect the 4155 comes in a nice shiny box for display, while the 4150 probably comes in a plain brown box.

I can confirm that the 4150's CD doesn't include Resco Explorer.
4155's CD does.
