"As mentioned more than once, the HP iPAQ rx1950 arrives with a welcomed reinstitution of one of HP's older, but most popular Pocket PC designs. At the $299 price point the rx1950 delivers good performance, great battery life, and includes great display. Outside of the lack of Bluetooth, all the features are just what the mainstream business user or everyday Joe is looking for in a PDA. I would recommend this little gem to anyone who is looking for a great PDA at an acceptable price AND to anyone who misses the old iPAQ h1900/4000 series design!"



The iPAQ rx1950 is a nice entry-level Pocket PC running Windows Mobile 5.0, though the lack of Bluetooth might be a concern for some of you. If you're undecided on whether you want this device or not, then perhaps BargainPDA.com's review may sway your decision.

i thought pocket pc phones are standard now? guess not :devilboy:

They were happy to find one without a phone in it! Hence the name of the site,"BargainPDA.com"


Good job though, but sort of like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

It is the best form factor. I love my 4100 series ipaq. Hard to give it up.

Here's an idea guys... let's take our best designed handheld off the market and replace it with c#%p that looks like stuff we made several years ago. Oh you don't like that. Ok, then how about 1 year later we bring back the exact same design that was so popular and give it terrible specs. Who are they kidding!!!??? Why doesn't this thing have bluetooth and Wi-Fi among other things. If they could make one to sell with all that stuff for $450 two years ago then they certainly should be able to give you that now for $300. The way things are looking... I'm never going back to HP.
iPaq 3600 -> iPaq 2215 -> iPaq 4150 -> Axim X51v -> now i'm happier with my handheld than i've been in quite a while

Is the Axim X51v that much better than the 4150 ipaq was? The only differences I see, are the compact flash slot, vga screen and windows mobile 5. From the reviews it sounds like if one owns the previous model, no reason to upgrade to windows mobile 5. So, vga screen and the compact flash slot are the only two other reasons to upgrade, from what I see. There must be a size difference too between the both. What's your opinion since you have owned both. I'm interested to hear since I own the 4150.

Palm can do it with the TungstenX for 299$.

I own the 4150 and my work mate owns a Dell x50v.. the x50v is a great device, but in all honesty, nothing beats the form factor of my 4150. i take it with me every where, even the lame shopping mall visit. but if i had a x50v, i'd leave it at home. size matters. i am looking forward to purchasing a VGA screen, but i am waiting for the day a VGA screen appears on the 4150 design. it seems however, hp has screwed i all up by introducing the same form factor in a low end model. honestly... idiots.

I'm with you. 4150 + VGA = A 'no-brainer' purchase for me. Of course, that was before I found out about the inability to sync avantgo wirelessly with WM5.

I agree form factor is very important and the 4150 has been the best device for me. It's really too bad that HP doesn't get it.
