Which New Pocket PC handheld to purchase???????

[ahead]

Hi all:

I am in the market for a new Pocket PC handheld. I previously owned a IPAQ but am open to anything as long as it is as good if not better. I really like the SD and PCMCIA support.

Any suggestions???

Thanks,
Anthony

I went for the iPaq 3870, though as I'm finding out, BlueTooth isn't all it's cracked up to be yet here in the States, so the 3850 would have been a better choice for me.

I got the iPAQ 3850 in December and I am very happy with the machine. (Except for the backlight issue.) Do you want to have the new Pocket PC NOW or can you wait a little more? Siemens will show LOOX in March. That might be interesting ...

They will show it, but it could be a little whilte until it is actually on the market for purchase.

And then you'll want to wait a bit longer for all the problems to surface and get fixed before you buy one

Maybe they will be the first company to fix the dust issue (or at least know there is a problem and come up with solution) before they release.

I think last I read May was the release? But I don't think that was necessarily a US release date.

One would have thought that HP could have figured that already ;)

We would like to think that! :wink:

of course, we'd like to think a lot of things about HP. Like how Carly's gonna be out on her butt sometime soon, or how they'll reinstate the calculator division, or any number of other things too :)
