It does have Wi-Fi. In reality, this is not a replacement for the 4150, it is a replacement for the 1940/45, but with Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth. Given how much I love my 1945, I've been kind of gazing sideways at this unit, but for all that I really want Wi-Fi in a unit, I still want Bluetooth for my keyboard. Why they couldn't keep the 4150 specs but load WM5 is beyond me. As someone else mentioned, if they pushed out a 4150 with VGA screen and WM5, I'd be all over it.

why are the providing such crappy specs for an awesome form factor pda? its like going to in time.

i've owned both the 4155 and x50v.

form factor is nice on the hp (actually, its really nice), but the dual slot, vga, makes the size difference not as important.

in the end, i think the x50v is a better device.

As an ipaq 1935 and 1945 user, this unit appeals to me. I may hold out till they release a slightly better equipped version, though, as wifi is still not very widespread here in Madrid (Spain). Our Starbucks don't even have internet.

This is sad indeed. HP is dead.

The rx1950 was designed as a low-end device, but you're right in saying it does have pretty "crappy" specs for an awesome form factor. Personally, I think HP could boost their sales by using the h4150 shell to construct a high-end device (something equipped with oodles of flash storage, VGA, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi). It need not have CF, and that's how you'd keep the device slim.

I have a 4150 but I wouldn't change ieven if I could get one of the latest models for free. I want better resolution but all the VGA models on the market today are to big and to ugly.
