HP iPAQ 5450 is here!
That's right, the 5450 is starting to show up in a few places. It's listed in our low-price search engine, on MobilePlanet, and other online retailers. Amazon shows it as not in stock yet, which is a little surprising.
Jeremiah Owen received his 5450 last night and says it's "freaking awesome!". :wink:

Received mine yesterday as well! Love it! The finger print scanner works better than I had expected. The only real problem I've had with the unit so far is that it doesn't fit smoothly into the cradle. I have to fight with it a little to get it inserted correctly.

I just received mine from Mobileplanet this morning. It soooooo much better than the 3670 I used to have. i agree that the fingerprint scanner is easy to use. plus, the bluetooth manager is much better than before. Go HP!

ordered the H5450 long ago form expansys.com(i am in the UK) and they say that they will have it in 3 weeks, the official hp site says the same as well  .
You guys in the US are very lucky.
i hope i get it before xmas so i can have to play with it during vacations, if i dont get it in the UK until the 20th i hope i will find it in Amsterdam Airport on my way to Cyprus.

So I wonder if anybody with one can assure me of a couple of things before I shell out:
- Nobody is experiencing a backlight problem
- It does actually ALWAYS play alarms
My 3870 has been been experiencing problems since the move to 2.2 and there is no way I'm going to buy a new machine with the same problems no matter how sexy.

No backlight issues ths far. As for the alarm issue, I am not sure what you mean.

I can't speak for the 54XX (And I know that's what you really are looking for.) but having had every Ipaq to date, I can say that the issues you have were solved very well in the 39XX release. I had the exact issues (As did many others.) with my 3875. Since moving to the 3975, I've had nothing but praise for the Ipaq.
Go on jump in! The water's warm.
