Almost perfect
Have had the 5555 for about 3 weeks now, and it's been very useful so far. Had a little trouble with the wireless settings turning themselves on, and running down the battery. Did a hard reset (after backing up, which was very easy), and everything is great now. Very quick response times, easy syncing to Outlook. Beautiful screen. I went "whole hog" and got a 256mb SD card, and popped for the CF Expansion Pack Plus, which includes a slim battery, and went for a 256mb CF card as well. I'm storing alot of documents, Excel spreadsheets, and presentations. Plus, I just like the "stuff"!! Would highly recommend the Universal USB sync cable as an accessory, if you are on the road alot, like me. I have'nt yet fully explored all of the capabilities of the machine, but, give me time.... Have fun!!

Poor Design - Great Ideas
Well, you have to give credit to HP. If this product worked as advertised, it would be great. The problem that has plagued HP since the 3000 series started is the battery. It isn't replaceable by any part that you can get your hands on, and it has a shelf life of about 1.5 years. If that is the longest you intend to keep this product, then I strongly endorse this model. It is stellar, and several of the other reviewers have made great points. However, beware of out of warranty time. Our company made the mistake of buying several, and they started dropping like flies shortly after the 12th month. The model I have for my personal use died after 16 months, and I was told that it would be [money amount]for the repairs plus [money amount]for a year of extended warranty.

iPAQ 5555
A top of the line, cost is no object Pocket PC. This is the bomb. It took less than a minute and I was connected to my wireless network. Email and surf anywhere in your house. I upgraded from the Compaq iPAQ 3835. Faster processor loads programs quicker. Only complaint: I couldn't use Compaq's Dashboard software. The software suite was not as good as the 3825s...
