Hello from a new pocket pc owner

[IHD2]

Just got a HP Ipaq h4350 two days ago, and just wanted to say hello to you all.

[Steven Cedrone]

Welcome to Pocket PC Thoughts and congratulations on your purchase!

While we're at it, I've just joined the PocketPC fold with an HP Ipaq 1930, after a couple of years with Windows Smartphones!

Hi all! =)

[Steven Cedrone]

Welcome as well! :wink:

I joined about a year ago after defecting from the Palm platform.

I have yet to look back.

Welcome! :)

I am thinking of switching from my Clie NX80 to a Dell x30. Anyone have any thoughts on this move? I have heard a few stories about multiple re-sets with ppc. Is this a common issue? any other tips/ideas will be appreciated.

Sony are stopping making the Clie range now, so you may find suppport will wane for the Sony Clie range.

I used to have an HP Jornada 525 way back in about 2001, and ditched that for an Orange SPV (or HTC Canary) a few years back, so I have not really experienced the palm stuff.

I can whole-heartedly recommend the HP Ipaq 19** range from personal experience, but people at work have nothing but praise for their Dell handhelds too.

I haven't had to reset my Ipaq yet, and on Windows Mobile for Smartphone 2002, I've only had to hard-reset once, when I was playing with the registry in eVB! ;)

Welcome, you've made the right decision.

Unfortunately you will now discover the obsession/addiction common to a lot of the people using the forums upgrading to latest and greatest model, and convincing yourself that you really need it.

although i didnt have the chance to use one i am sure that x30 is a very good device.

It happens occasionally, especially if you're like me and like to load, unload software and "fiddle" with the PPC rather than just "use" it! It's not been a problem though, and I've been using my iPaq 2215 for a year now.

As for the Dell, go for it! If you can get a 2215, you may like it better though, since it has dual slots (CF and SD) but as always, YMMV. :)
