Do they ship to the UK?

I'm liking this iPAQ 2215 more and more.

Geez, I might just have to sell my Axim to get that 2215. :)

Amazon is selling the 2215...again. According to the site, the product is in stock. Free shipping too.

I saw the 2210 yesterday at Fry's. The grips are nice but it's too wide for my taste and there is no jog dial which I think is a must for a pda or cell phone.

The 1940 looks like the more impressive of the 2 to me given the price/performance/features. Bluetooth for that price plus SDIO support in a thin light package is great.

The only thing missing on the 1940 is the jog dial. I use this 90% of the time that I use my SE P800. My productity with the jog dial (for single handed operation) is much higher (whether I'm using cell phone or pda functionality).

Anyone have experience with a bluetooth PocketPC with some kind of bluetooth gsm dialer?

With the 1940 I'd consider going back to a two device solution but I'll have to hold it in my hand first before I decide. Although to be honest the new Handspring 600 looks pretty impressive as well.

Hmmm, what to do. God bless choices!! 8)

The 1900s are teensy-tiny. If you haven't seen one in person yet, you're going to be pleasantly surprised.

International Shipping

Unfortunately, we are unable to ship products internationally, with the exception of select products to Canada


Doesn't that mean they should change their name to MobileUSA.com instead of MobilePlanet ?

Be warned, Nevo (and most likely, CIR) will not be included in the iPAQ H5150 or the H5550.
Someone from the Brighthand forums reported on this.
They gave a reference from an HP iPAQ FAQ but I can't seem to find it. However, I am seeing that there's no mention of it in the press release PDF files.
I'll update back when I get more info on this.

The PDFs from the HP Press Kit can be access through this link.

I thought the 5550 was g oing to have the new 200MHz bus? What happened? There is no mention of it? :?:

[ctmagnus]

Woohoo! June 30! I had previoulsy understood it to be July 15.

:rock on dude!:

Regarding Nevo, the pdf lists only the Microsoft-provided software. Anything from third parties (which will be there) is not mentioned.

The smaller these things get, the harder they are to hold single-handed, period. :: ugh ::

:D

I wonder if they will actually be shipping the devices then or will they just keep on extending the date like they did for the Nexicrap....ummm Nexicam :roll:
