User Submitted HP iPAQ 4155 Pocket PC Reviews (cont...)

I then moved to the iPaq 3870. It was brilliant; the bluetooth let me connect to my phone to get Internet and Email on the move. It was great, again; reliable, long(ish) battery life, and stylish.

Then, I decided to upgrade to the h4150, to take advantage of the built-in wireless and its clear, crisp screen. As I use satellite navigation a lot, I needed a screen I could see in my car at all times.

This, I got, and the navigation works a treat. Also, the wireless is intuitive (compared to PPC 2002's offering), but not perfect. Synchronisation is frought with problems; sometimes I end up synchronising my PDA's contents entirely, even though I've only changed someone's phone number, or adjusted a calendar date.

Sometimes the unit won't synchronise without a reset.

On the note of reliability, this unit seems to require rebooting a lot more often than its predecessor. If bluetooth doesn't work ... reset. If wireless doesn't work ... reset. If synchronising doesn't work ... reset. See a pattern emerging?

If you buy this unit, and you want to keep this unit, you MUST buy a protective case with it. The one that comes with it is alright, but it's not very protective. I've since cracked the screen and the touch-screen is basically useless now, and it'll apparently cost me £70-£100 ($120-$180) to repair, which I'm not too happy about.

The unit is great, but buggy. If you want a feature-packed, thin, stylish PDA, then get this. If you want a reliable PDA with long battery life, look elsewhere.

Loved by College Student
I've been a PALM OS user for several years until my friends convinced me to buy the new iPaq 4155. As I waited for it to arrive in the mail I was regretting my decision to drop $400 on something that I didn't really NEED.

Only after I setup my new gadget did I realize how much it was going to help me with life! I love how easily it syncs to my PC and the wireless is working great. I've downloaded a ton of stuff and still haven't filled the initial memory.

The main reason that I bought the 4155 over the 2215 was asthetic -- the 4155 is not only prettier, but sleeker as well. If you aren't buying a handheld for the look as well as the usefullness, I'd go for the 2215.

The best pda I've owned
I switched from palm OS to the iPAQ and am happy with every aspect of this great PDA. Synchronization is so easy and seamless. Screen is easy to read and clear. Features are great especially both wifi and bluetooth. Have used for powerpoint presentation review and applications are quite good. Only drawback is that some "universal" portable keyboards don't work with this unit.

HP sells seriously compromised products
After dealing with HP, their warranty and technical staff I would not consider buying any more of their products especially after what I already knew about the quality of the PC's they sell. They tout theat they are committed to quality, durability and reliability. The 4155 is far from reaching any of those descriptions. If you ever call them you will more than likely talk to some one that can't really speak english well and will not know much about any technical aspect of their own products let alone resolving any major issues you might have with their products that they are asking top dollar for. I am very unsatisfied with the reliabilty and durability of this product. The battery life and charging function seems to always be on the fritz and the screen scratches easily. It is also very fragile and is made of glass. A far cry from durable. If these things were alot more reliable and were made of higher quality I would never had to experience the poor support that HP offers from their staff over the phone. Alot of time and money was wasted trying to deal with a company with very poor standards of customer support and quality. If one of these fields could be mentioned as being excellent than half of the money you spend on their products would be worth it. Besides that you better have alot of time and money before you buy one of their products, enough money to be able to afford two or three of each item you buy from HP. I have to also mention more than half of their products always gets returned to them, serviced and coming back with more problems. They make it difficult to resolve, with their mail back procedure instead of a service center or dealer. I will never consider putting an HP product into use as a business device or any role wich reliablilty is crutial.
