hi, i bought a h3835 and it was defective so after a long time over the phone over the course of 3 monthes, they finally agreed to swap my unit

for a "better or similiar" unit. Obviously the customer relations person

didnt know about ipaqs because she exchanged mine for a refurb. (my 3835 was a refurb.) h5555 for free!!!!

Problem- im a student and this ipaq is going to be my "media hub" with

lots of pics, mp3, etc. I need wifi and bluetooth. Ram isnt a problem

because im probably going to buy a sd card anyway.

I like the 4150 because its the same as a h5555 with less memory but

much smaller. the h5555 feels like a brick in my pocket.

reccomendations-sell my h5555 and get a h4150 or keep my h5555??

thanks in advance

I would say that you've had a little visit from the gift horse - I don't think I would look it in the mouth! :D

The 5550/5 is a great device and has a host of expandability options due to following the "old" iPaq form factor.

I think I would hold on to it if I were you...but I'm not :wink: - let us know what you decide!

thanks

im not being greedy or anything, just incase i decide to sell it later on or

anything. Btw, i read in a review the wifi and bluetooth dont work well on

the h5555....

Oh, I hope my post didn't sound harsh. I would die for either one of those units. :wink:

BT works great on the 5555. I did have a problem with the WiFI but I determined it was the HP PPC03 WLAN Driver Update 129. Took it off and now surfing to my hearts content.

My rule of thumb is and has always been
Don't 'fix' what ain't broke!

I thought it was "Don't break what you have to fix later"
