I bought an IPAQ 3635 which is the same except that it came with the Compact Flash Sleeve Free! I bought it in November 2001 when the Unit was going out of Production by Compaq for 300$ after their 150$ rebate. I think the unit is worth that much only. It is always a good idea to wait for one of those rebate specials. These units come with new features every few months and there is no way you can catch up with the new technology unless you are stacked with CASH!!! You might as well save some money.

Some useful tips
1. For IPAQ maps "www.impasseipaq.com/default.asp?rubrique=ps&chemin="
2. For free software "www.pocketpcsoft.net" (Useful multiday Calendar application Calendar+, Notepad Application, Telnet application, Powerpoint application, Pocket Video player etc.) www.wincecity.com www.cearchives.com Good Pocket PC site is "www.unitedcommand.com/new.php?thecatno=6"
3. To upgrade IPAQ memory or battery www.pocketpctechs.com
4. For connecting to your remote desktop using a modem and remote controlling your Desktop (like PC Anywhere) "www.pdautilities.com/remotedesktop.shtml" (Trial version available)
5. For wireless internet use Verizon's new 3G network with an LG VX1 phone (needed) for speeds of upto approximately 128K . Cable to connect Cell phone with IPAQ can be purchased from www.thesupplynet.com
"www.verizonwireless.com/express_network/index.html"
Don't bother w/o the 3G n/w as it is has a maximum data speed of 14Kbps (very slow)
6. For using Microsoft Money, an update has to be applied to your Desktop. Otherwise you will get a message saying that Money is not installed on your Desktop even though it is. "www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/downloads/money.asp"

Good luck!
