Summary: Great features, HORRIBLE reliability
Review: I am currently waiting for my second ipaq to be repaired, I just sent it in to HP. THe first was DOA, this one died within 6 months of getting it. When it works, and dosent need to be reset it is a great product, but generally I have to reset the device at least once a day and I am curious how often I will have to replace the unit all together.

Summary: great produect
Review: I can access the internet almost everywhere! I'm a student .. its easy to access the univeristy's files and download class notes and so on.
As for home .. i just download my songs and pictures wirelessly from the network .. and there i go .. i have a playlist ready for me :) since i'm in the student council and i am an adminstrator in the university's forums site.. i can keep track of all the new registers .. and keep in mind the important stuff to do for the council and the forums .. i can even access the net to check out the forums and edit things very quickly :) as for bluetooth .. i get access to every bluetooth enabled device.. works just great .. i can even get applications and files from other pda's the only disadvantage is the battery for me .. other than that all works fine :) worth the money .. the new add ons and soft paqs are just great i recommend u check out pocket pc magazines .. they have tons of info .. and software that is very useful

Summary: Pretty cool
Review: I can't be dissatisfied with the device. It has all you need on the go, big nice display, bluetooth, wi-fi... and Jack, it comes with Microsoft Outlook XP software - that's what you sync with, no need to "enter everything manually".

Summary: IPAQ is the BEST PDA!!!
Review: I have one of the older IPAQ's and have loved it from the moment I first turned it on. Unfortunately it doesn't have wireless capabilities; but definitely has the best and most vivid display screen on the market. The speed and ease of use is fantastic. There are almost unlimited software titles, most of which are either freeware or shareware and the download and installation is a snap. Since IPAQ's use Windows CE; it is compatible and easy to transfer and use any MS Office files. Downloading and uploading of data through the infrared port is also a snap. I was able to upload about 100 contacts from my IPAQ directly into my new cellphone through the infrared port in a matter of seconds. If I had had to manually input all of them into the phone it would have taken hours.

Summary: Fantastic Support and Service
Review: I have owned and supported several iPaq models from the 3600 series on up but this has to be my favorite. Everything every customer wanted is already included with this great machine, well except for gps but how many of us need that every day and such. The WiFi is superb and the bluetooth is the best im-plementation I have used so far. The rest of the specs speak for themselves.. huge memory processor speed etc. The only real downfall is slightly below average battery life. I attribute much of this to heavy WiFi useage and the rather small original battery. Greater capacity batteries can be purchased from HP. I have read others "reviews" of products talking about how poor HPs service and support is. My experience has been exactly the opposite and the same can be said of every person I know who has dealt with HP. In warranty service is fantastic with on average a 3 day turn around... that includes all the ship time from me to them and back. I have occasionally gotten units back the next day after shipping. And yes it was the same unit serial number, scratches and all. They usually seem to just replace the main boards. As I write this mt personal 5555 is on its way to HP... with an unknown problem. I know this sounds a bit odd to write a positive review during this but the machine and the others have been extremely reliable( they all get extremely heavy useage... 8 to 10 hours a day of actual use). As a side note no unit sent in for repairs had ever had to be sent back again. I think they might spend a little more time testing the replacement boards than the new ones.

Summary: WOW!!!! THIS THING IS AWESOME!!
Review: I just bought this thing from Amazon and all I can say is WOW!!!! This is probably the best purchase I have ever made. This thing is everything I ever expected and more!! It's very easy to use as well! I have bought other brands before, and this one just blows everything else out of the water! I have to say, everyone out there who is thinking of buying this, stop thinking. I bought it and I am extremely happy with it the moment I powered this thing on. YOU ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY CANNOT GO WRONG WITH THIS PURCHASE! I GUARANTEE IT!!!

Summary: Great Product
Review: I just purchased the IP Ipaq 5555 Pocket PC. It is an EXCELLENT tool to have. Very easy to learn... the next best thing to having a laptop, only easier to bring along with you. The memory and speed of this is far greater then any other handheld I have experienced. Thanks HP for another great product... now to find more accessories for it! :)

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I really like this Ipaq. I've had a 3835,3955,2215 and now this. This Ipaq really rocks.The integrated wifi and bluetooth makes surfing the net very easy. Even with the zippy 2215, I had trouble getting wifi due to a very obstinate wifi sd card. There's something to be said for having integrated wifi. Not just that but the 128 mb really makes a difference. I no longer find myself checking the memory setting to see which program needs to go on sd storage. Speed is nice and the color display is beautiful. Battery life could be better and of course it would be nice to have a compact flash but I'm pretty happy with the product.

Summary: Top notch with room for improvements...
Review: I replaced my Sony Clie with this machine for few different reasons. I wanted a longer battery life, better software, better screen, more memory, expandability and better accessory compatibility. And I got all that in Ipaq 5555. Battery lasts a long time and put many devices to shame. It is also user replaceable which allows you not only to use extended packs but if for any reason your power pack fails you can replace it on your own without sending your device for lengthy warranty service. So far PocketPC operating system has been stable to me and very easy and intuitive to use. Most of the software I got for it provides easy and painless installation. Erasing files and keeping everything organized is also very easy. For some reason Palm devices always have very little memory. 5555 comes with whooping 128 megs and with right memory card your options are unlimited. For example I use it with 256 SD card. There are a lot of after market accessories available for IPAQ made either by HP or by third party manufacturer. You have to watch out for HP accessories because some of them are not directly compatible with 5000 series. They have an external battery charger that states compatibility with 5555 yet it is not, but it is compatible with expansion pack (one that includes battery). Bluetooth and wireless LAN work fine and allow you to almost always be connected. Unit is very solid with it's aluminum housing and case that is supplied with it besides being a really good deal protects the Ipaq the right way. My biggest complain is that 5555 is on the bigger side. It is a big PDA and coming from the smaller machine it is a slight disadvantage. I also have to rave about the screen. It is super bright, with excellent contrast and color definition. I kind of dislike the finger print security and perceive it as useless although cool conversation starter feature. So how do I use my Ipaq? I work both as a web developer and EMT. Ipaq holds my medical and drug reference books for street work, basic software for web developing, few games, mp3s and tons of email, contacts, notes, pdfs, docs and excel files. I use it on the street to jog down info, cross reference medications and to keep records. I use it in the office for everyday routine stuff. On the train or when I get bored I play some games. It is a good machine and with few extra accessories (car charger, memory card and keyboard) it will last you forever (or at least until 6666 is out).

Summary: HP 5555
Review: I too came over from the palm. I always liked the many palm apps, but in reality the more I look the more I find that are useless, but no one removed them from the sites.
I wanted wireless to connect to net at home, maybe work. Since I recently got the nokia 3650 phone for free I didn't really need a phone, but needed the pda and some internet access.
I have not tried to use it with the bluetooth on the nokia, but I am amazed at the out of the box wireless net.
Just powered up and connected right away with no problems and I was so dreading getting things connected. I had gone with the ipaq that had BT but no wifi. I bought a card with it and it just didn't work, or I just could not get it up and running. The 5555 is worth it, no problems, it connected out of the box and it looks and feels great. Color amazing and it runs games like a pro.
I'm pleased.
