Too expensive?
I just recently bought my Ipaq from [auction site] and I wsa all hyped up. But once I got it, I realized I need to buy an expansion pack, because what can you do with only 32MB? Then you have to buy an adapter for a memory stick, buy the memory stick and a cable adapter! Now, I dont know if you have to do this for all Handhelds, but once you actually bought the thing, you have to spend twice as much for upgrade to make it even worth it.
Now, Im not saying this is not a great Handheld, it gets the job done, has great battery life, and is easy to use, but the question is: Is it worth it?
Im know considering selling my Ipaq for a more easlily upgradable Sony Clie, or a more expensive Ipaq where Im not going to have to spend hundreds of dollors to upgrade it.
So, think before you buy the 3650, do you wanna spend more money on the expansion pack or do you want to save a few buck and buy a more expensive Ipaq?

Best-of-breed PDA!
The iPaq is certainly THE PDA to own. Dont think twice about it. I bought this model in early 2001 and, regardless the latest models that have appeared since, the quality and performance of this pocketpc has not declined. My only complaint is that, with the excellent games and programs that developers are putting out, i need extra memory!
I am about to get a CF expansion pack and 256 MB of extra memory, to be able to use it more and enjoy more programs and even have some mp3s on the go.
I have also updated the operating system to PPC 2002, and the results are great. Greatly recommended for first-time buyers and also PDAers from other systems in search of real connectivity, playability and processing power!

Wireless Wonder
Others have pretty much said it. Great unit. A bit bulky with the dual expansion sleeve, but fast and functional.

I am using a DLink wireless card with a wireless 802.11b access point both at home and work. I can now quickly and easily check email or look up a website and carry it around. It did take a bit of research getting thw wireless to work though.

The ipaq is also pretty pricey once you get the jacket, the network card and expansion memory or an ibm microdrive.

A Computer nerd!!!
Well I have been looking at several of these and found out this is the best one. what I like about it is its a pocket computer! The ipaq H3635 and the ipaq H3650 are alike, but I found the 3650 for only [$]!!! It is super fast with 206mhz! The color screen is the coolest with 4,o86 colors and not to metion 32mb of ram and 16mb of rom. I do not even have this product yet, but I think it is the best PDA out there!!!!

A computer fan!
This product is wonderful!!! You can do just about anything you want it to, I give it 5 stars because of so many great reviews and coments. At my simon.com you can find this product for only [price] New!!!! That is the cheepest price I can find anywhere! I have never seen anything so powerful in a pocket PC. The processer is faster than our old 1995 computer! It is truely worth the money, but it is very pricy. I think this is a great product for anyone the likes to work with stuff like this. I can not tell you how many reviews I have read. The only three problems I can think of that people have said is dust under the screen, problems with it working with their PC, and power life. But that is about it, so if you are wondering which one to buy it is the ipaq H3650, Good luck shoping and I hope you agree with me on the pocket PC!
