Ok the sku's are in.. I can't tell ya them tho.. but i can tell ya the model numbers for Staples are Ipaq 2215 will be priced at $399.99 and the Ipaq 1945 will be listed at $299.99 USD. What i found interesting is that the Actual cost for the 1945 was about $25 less than the cost of the 1910. Go figure. I haven't tracked down the sku's or price of the 5550 yet but ill keep ya posted. I can't wait! 8)

Hmm seems like the 1930 and 1945 are just updated 1910's, with SDIO and one with bluetooth. Something HP should have originally done, but oh well I'm glad I didn't get the 1910, though it still is a very nice piece of technology.
Is it just me or are bluetooth-enabled ppc models not being sold for much more than they might be? Is bluetooth really not a big deal? I don't know, but I would figure a bluetooth ppc model would cost more than one say w/o BT... thats just me..

I know of 6 people that have BT enabled PPC's and none of them use it. Now wi-fi on the otherhand. . .

Yeah, I guess bluetooth is sort of obselete before even becoming new.. But I do believe it's a good concept, though someone should expand it more (I don't know how, but just saying that sounded like it would be a good idea... :D )

And WiFi I use almost every day, but that's in my own home, and sparingly with colleauges.. There are no hotspots where I live, or where I frequent, so I always saw WiFi as not being as useful to me as I would like it to be..

Oh yes, and that picture on ppcitalia.com of the "h5550" is only an h5450 showing phone software installed on it (go to http://www.ppcnewsire.com/ and scroll down til you see that picture, then read.. It's software..) I just think it's a bit wrong to be spreading pictures of h5450's as h5550's.. who knows we might be surprised at the outlook.. or maybe im just totally wrong haha...

Bluetooth is important to me because I really want the new Sprint bluetooth phone, if they ever get around to releasing it. Also I just got a bluetooth GPS receiver.
