hi all .i'm new to this forum so forgive me if this has been asked before .
i am thinking of buying a hp 4150 .as it has wifi .but i have never used one before .what i want to know is .is the web browser a full browser ,, as in not wap . as i have wap on my phone and is very poor in content ect . is a pocket pc usefull for looking at all kinds of web pages say like Ebay ..and so on . even this forum ..
i have been to may shops to look for a 4150 but they have no set up for the web so i never know if it will be any good to me ..
i use a laptop at the moment but it's still a bit large to carry around ..when you just want to check your ebay bids ect ..
many thanks in advance for all your help.. :D

Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE), which comes with the device, does handle full HTML -- it's not WAP. That said, PIE is not the most feature-filled browser; a few websites won't work well on it. There are third-party browsers, like NetFront or Thunderhawk, that you can purchase if PIE isn't enough.

Anyway, I see that you've already posed the question at http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=258730#258730 - I'm going to lock this thread to consolidate. Please don't crosspost in the future. Thanks!
