HP rx5915 Review
"The design itself is a little bit reminiscent of the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, with a landscape screen and squared-off directional pad above the centerline on one side of the display. The iPAQ, however, is much smaller and lighter than the Nokia, and has more features besides."
Brighthand has a review up on the rx5915 - the verdict is: Expensive but solid device, very impressive set of maps (from Teleatlas IIRC), with some bugs which may be due to the review set being a pre-production model. This is also the only review that mentions that the iPaq's screen has an anti-glare coating, which is something I've never come across before. As noted in other reviews, you don't get to use all of the 2GB in the high-end model - more than 75% is used up by the maps for the navigation software (I can't be more precise since different reviewers have noted varying amounts of remaining space). If you're just getting started with GPS, the rx5915 is certainly a great option, especially with the range of included accessories.

I saw a chart somewhere of different models of these things. There were varying amounts of free storage; some had up to 1.5GB free.

Another disapointment is the aparrantly "not standard" Mini USB used on the device 8O
Is HP learning from Sony, and startet reinventing sliced bread, by develloping their own standards for everything? :roll:
The issue about the 2GB not being totaly available for users, is no surprise, but still, 300MB is above the normal 128MB standard

Did anyone notice that the spec table said Windows Mobile 5.1? Where did this designation come from?
And how many AKUs are lurking out there anyway?

Not many (see http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/art...m-aku-en.shtml ) - I don't think this would already be AKU3.
