User Submitted HP iPAQ 4155 Pocket PC Reviews (cont...)Date: 2004-12-09 Would be a 5 if the 802.11B were easier to set up I love this little thing. I bought it to take class notes in college, and for the organizing capability when i am done. Used with a IR keyboard, this little thing is perfect, small, light and lasted me for 6 hours of notetaking a day, and allowed me to back up to the SD card I have in case the battery dies. I first got used to an M100 a few years back, so this was quite the cnage with OS and all, so there was a learning curve. I do love it though, and accessing most websties (some do not work with the pda - not HP's fault) from school or downtown Portland is an awesome feature. I don't see replacing this anytime soon, I am hooked. It's integrations with my laptop (runs Win2k) is great. Date: 2004-10-21 iPQA 4155 is too fragile, shatters when dropped The iPAQ 4155 is a perfect palmtop for you if you never drop anything. Previous HP palmtops that I've owned have been sturdy and could handle being dropped even in parking lots. I accidentally dropped the iPAQ 4155 in my house two months after purchase. It shattered. I had made the mistake of not purchasing an accidental damage warranty ($100/year). HP support was unhelpful and rude and expensive. Date: 2004-09-22 nice piece of hardware, but no 2003SE update The 4155 is a very nice hardware. Good design and high quality manufactured. The mixture of features (WLan, Bluetooth, Irda, changable akku) combined in such a tiny and lightwight device is impressive. But reading that HP decided they will NOT supply upgrades of Pocket PC 2003 Second Edition for this device makes me thinking that I should have bought something else... Date: 2004-09-14 The compact "do it all" PDA I have been very impressed with this PDA. It is far and away superior to the 36xx series model that I am replacing. I have been very impressed by the 8.0211 b WiFi Its screen is brighter and clearer than the previous model I have owned and its ideal for surfing the internet. I have used my home WiFi set up and seamlessly surfed the `net right out of the box for months. The updated media player is also great for streaming video of multiple formats right off the `net. Bluetooth also makes connecting to the net via an enabled cell phone (i.e. Sony Ericson 61x) a breeze. I have found I prefer this size PDA as opposed to the larger models; This is where I think palm had it right over the original ipaqs. Its about the size of a color Palm V and even fits in the Mont Blanc case that I had for one with almost perfect button alignment. This is my favorite PDA to date. Don't think I will be replacing it anytime soon. Date: 2004-07-15 The LCD cracks by itself! The LCD cracked while in my pocket with no drop or hit! Sent the unit to HP and after bouncing around their customer service, I was charged $190 for the repair. Browsing the internet (unsuccessfully trying to find a cheaper repair option) I found several similar complains. It seems like the IPAQ4155 has a serious quality problem that costs 50% of the value of a new unit to fix. I am selling my unit as soon as it comes back from repair and will never by an IPAQ anymore!
