Everything I Expected
I purchased the h4155 to upgrade my h3835 that had given me a couple good years of service. The 2 reasons that I made the switch was: 1) the size of the device, 2) Wi-Fi built in without an antenna. After a month of usage, I am very pleased with my choice. The speed is noticeably faster and the new OS is a pleasant change as well. I've used bluetooth a couple of times to transfer files and it has worked well. WiFi works great as well. I can now actually use WiFi instead of fiddling with the settings trying to get IE to work.I'm an avid user and this device has been a real joy. The quality seems good to me (I carry the device in the hp belt case all the time with no problems).

Two words.......... Cracked Screen
I agree with an earlier review, that this product has some reliabliity issues. The screen seems to crack on it's own. I was bending over and the pda slipped about 12inches out of my pocket and cracked the screen (in the protective case). If you are going to spend this much money on something, it seems rediculous to not come with some kind of way to protect the screen. I used to have a Sony TG50 and I dropped it all the time. It took a licking and kept on ticking. It makes me miss my Sony TG50 that came with a protective covering. Warning don't buy without extended warranty that covers cracked screens and a extra durable case that will protect the screen.

Need to reset it from time to time.
I was thrilled when I just got the iPAQ4155. It is so stylish and powerful. Things changed suddenly after just two days, the iPAQ "died" for no reason. No matter which button I pused, it did not come up. First I thought it was because the battery ran out (butit shouldn't for I checked there was still 40% of battery when I turned it off one hour ago.), then I plugged in the DC power supply and still the same thing. I was so frustrated and worried about the painful things of sending it back for repair. I even regretted that I shouldn't have bought it online (from Amazon) otherwise I could just dropped in a store to return it. After all these frustration, I sought the last resort before packing it: hard reset and it worked! As expected, all my installed applications and files were gone!!! The same thing has happened a couple of times in the last two days. Now I learned that I don't need to hard reset it, a soft reset will do! But it's still extremely disturbing and I don't know whether eventually even the reset button won't work ... Anyone else has the same experience? And any hint about why? I treated the little gadget very nicely -- carrying it in a leather belt case!

Great functionality. Poor reliability
This product is really full of features, but the screen cracked twice by itself in one month.

Awesome!
Everything I expected AND MORE in this little pocket pc. All the functionalities you need in your everyday life as well as everything you could possibly wish for in a portable device: WiFi, Bluetooth, IR, etc. I couldn't be more pleased about this device! Highly recommended for all users!!!
