CNet Reviews the iPaq H4150
CNet has reviewed the new iPaq H4150. Generally, they rate the hardware highly, but not as high as they did the H4350:
"At first glance, the H4150 looks like an ideal Pocket PC, introducing built-in Wi-Fi to the thin and light H1940 form factor, as well as adding a faster CPU. ...but before bringing this $450 iPaq home, you should ask yourself what exactly you want to do with the onboard Wi-Fi. If you plan on sending lots of e-mail and instant messages in a work environment with good Wi-Fi coverage, you might be better off with a keyboard-equipped handheld such as HP's H4350, which retails for $50 more."

Given the position of the IR port and the lack of NEVO in the software bundle, I suppose it's safe to say that neither of the 4000s will have a consumer-grade IR port.

I was thinking of getting the 4150 as a dress-up PDA since it's much more lighter and compact than the 5555. But with Smartphone coming soon, I don't know if it's REALLY worth it since I'm definitely getting a Smartphone.
Decisions decisions.

Does my aluminum proporta case for h1910 support the new h4150 as well, since they are almost in the same dimensions?

Is the serial port on the bottom the same as the 1900 series iPAQ's.
I like the form factor of the 1900 and 4100 series but I'd like to use my Targus keyboard and not have to go for an Infrared solution or wait for a bluetooth keyboard.
Anyone know what keyboard compatibility there is?

4150 screen
Unfortunately, according to the review, the 4150 shares its screen with the 1940... the yellow cast on that screen has turned many people (myself included) away from the 1940. I had a 1945 and exchanged it for a 2215.
Not everyone has a problem with the screen, so if you're interested, by all means check the 4150 out. But I'm no longer interested.

I'm looking to get the 6000 also. As long as it's not ugly beyond belief. :lol: Unfortunatly, my 3650 is nearing the end, and I don't think it will last. So I'm going to be picking one of these new models up, and then pass it along to my wife when the 6000 comes out. 8)

I would wait from some reviews on this. I'm sure we will be hearing soon. Just because it shares the same screen, doesn't mean they haven't fixed the problem.
