Well, I think I just outgrew the h1910. This was the second pocket pc that I bought, and both times I made the mistake to fall for the beautiful screen, and not to consider the other options. My first pocket pc was a Casio E-125, and of course, the beautiful screen was the biggest seller for me. The second one my h1910 which again I bought for its beautiful screen. Other reasons for this purchase were the form factor (which was a massive downgrade from the bricklike size of the E-125 to the really small and light form of the h1910), and because I wasn't able to upgrade the OS in the E-125. But as I said, I made the same mistake, not being able to upgrade the device when a new OS comes out, so that meant the end of my h1910. One big reason for me to upgrade was the problem I was having to run video on it. I have some really great little movies of my son, and some Photostories made up of our trips, but I wasn't able to run them on the h1910 (not without a whole pile of encoding and other things I'm not fit to do). The h4150 can show those clips out of the box.
I still think that the h1910 is a wonderful machine. For what I needed it initially it was great, and the touchscreen responsiveness and the colours of the screen are far superior to the h4150. But the possibilities with the h4150 are ENDLESS!
It has the great form factor of the h1910, and it has a whole bunch of more features (just to mention a few: SDIO, BT, WIFI). I think we all outgrow our devices sooner or later. We work and play with them, we come here to learn more, and soon our needs are different, and we are looking for more options.
It took me a few weeks to get used to the different screen. As I said, the responsiveness is not as great, and the yellow hue was really bad at the beginning. I upgraded about 5 weeks ago, and it was tough to get used to it. But now I wouldn't want to go back.
As soon as my new case arrives, I am going to put my h1910 up for sale on Ebay. That's what I did with my E-125 and both the buyer and I ended up being happy about the deal we got. So I am hoping that I will be able to find a good home for my beloved h1910. My husband just doesn't want anything to do with those things. Oh well.
These are pretty much my reasons. Didn't want to offend Ripper, his question just was formulated a little ... awkward. But I put some smilies in my response for a reason.
