Although HP's Pocket PCs are arguably still top performers, their support has gone downhill ever since the Compaq days.

I think all of us think the same way about HP latest saga, except the 2 guys at DavesiPaq, in their before last Podcast still think HP PocketPC is Cadillac and others (e.g Dell Axim X50v) are Huyndai...
C'mon guys wake up! :?

What HP should do is to put the '4500' on the market...

The 'iPAQ 4500' has the following specs (and yes, this is all in my mind!):
- Design equals the 1900/4150 series
- Windows Mobile 5.0
- VGA
- 128 mb RAM / 128 mb ROM
- USB host
- Bluetooth + WiFi
- Consumer IrDA
- VoIP
- ...

...as all of this is probably NOT going to happen given HP's strategies and directions lately - I guess I'll just get the Loox720 or new Acer n311 instead.

I've used IPAQ from the early 36xx models and gave up on them after the 55xx I had. I've had smartphones and most recently the JAM. When 6515 came out I just had to have it for one reason, the integrated GPS.
Phone/PDA/GPS is what I need and afaik, it's the only device out there. I'm willing to put up with a lot of pain to get this combination and was expecting the worst.

I gotta tell you, I'm impressed with the 6515 from both feature and stability point of view. I dont think I'm one of the 2 guys from DavesIPAQ who like it so there you go, a third one.

Don't get me wrong, it's far from perfect and I'm buying the 6715 when it comes out and ebay this one. But for now, this is clearly the most suited PDA/Phone/GPS combo out there and it does what it says.

So have they the iPAQ hx4700, the Dell Axim x50v, the HTC Universal and the Pocket Loox 720, the four best Pocket PC's.

Actually, the only one widely-known non-HTC-manufactured device, the Asus A730(w), proved to be a disaster.
