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

Like others have said, the battery life is nothing great. A little more memory would be nice as well. But the battery life and memory isn't sub-par; it's current with the market right now.

Another thing is the FileStore. Prior to this, I had the 1945, which has the same dimensions (.01cm smaller?) and similar feature set (minus Wi-Fi). The FileStore (an area of memory that isn't erased when if you must hard reset) is only 3mb on the 4155, compared to 13mb on my 1945.

I love the fact that it fits in my scrub pocket, and obviously the wi-fi is great. I have gone into Starbucks and connected so effortlessly that my email was synced before I placed my order.

If you get this (which if you want to have the ability to use WiFi, Bluetooth all in a PPC you should get this one) I would suggest getting one or two SD cards. I currently have a 256mb card, and sometimes it even feels too small.

One last thing: missing the CF card slot doesn't seem that important when you have the SDIO ability. I'm hoping to see more peripherals built using this standard in the next year.

Great Device but poor IRD
I have the h4155. It is my first handheld device. I ABSOLUTELY love it! I have wifi in my home and it connects to it without a hitch. I also have a Pharos BT GPS device that works great with it. It uses com 6 though, despite everyone saying its supposed to use com 8. The IRD is a problem on this ipaq becuase its on the bottom of it! You have to turn it upside down to use the IR. I downloaded TV Remote controller from pdawin, which works fine, but I have to turn the h4155 upside down to use it, and it only sends a signal up to 5 feet and has to be in line of sight. I love everything else about it. The colors are good, and I have not noticed a yellow tint that others speak of. The sound quality is pretty good also.

Finally what I've wanted from a PDA
The new iPAQ 4155 is what I've been looking for. I've hopped around from Palm OS to Pocket PC, prefering the Pocket PC desktop integration and OS but finding that most of the high-powered ones were just way to big to carry around. The 4155 is TINY - smaller than my Clie I replaced and light! Easy to carry around, I don't even notice it in my pocket. The screen is bright and crisp. The 400mhz Intel processor is plenty for my needs. I've played games on it, emulated an old Atari, handled all my work, and linked it to databases with no problem.

The integrated wireless was the selling point for me. I'm a wireless engineer, so it helps to be able to carry around such a small device with built-in 802.11b. My only complaint is that it does not allow you to manually set the SSID information if it automatically detects wireless network SSIDs, but that probably won't be a big problem for most users.

Again, this is the PERFECT handheld. I've finally found a handheld I absolutely love - and I've been looking since the original Palm Pilot.

Tiny, Stable, and Fast
I've had several PPC's, and this one is by far the best. The OS is stable compared to prior versions, the processor handles media clips with ease, battery life is acceptable, and the small form-factor is hard to beat. I have a few minor gripes:
1. The included stylus is necessarily small (skinny) and somewhat difficult to manipulate.
2. The included cradle leaves something to desire -- it does have a slot to charge an extra battery, but requires two hands and some concentration to place the PPC on the cradle, and the cradle plug assembly seems flimsy.
3. The included nylon case is fine, but the voice record button is located right where you grab the 4155 to remove it from the case, which sometimes leads to inadvertent recording.
4. The IR port is in a strange spot: the bottom corner of the unit.
5. Accessories are currently hard to find.
In all, these issues are quite minor, and IMO, the unit still deserves five stars given the competition.

Great Little Pocket PC
After being a palm user of several years the only regret I have is that I didn't switch sooner. The wireless lan is amazing. Connecting to any wifi connection is a breeze. The vibrant color screen is an ease on the eyes after looking at a monochromatic screen for so long. Synching with my pc is simple and I like the fact that you can drag and drop files back and forth from the pocket pc and the desktop. Couldn't be happier!
