Hewlett Packard iPAQ 211 Pocket PC

Pros: The beautiful 4" VGA touch screen is the best!
Cons: No phone for those who want to multitask; for me not a con.

For about 5 years I had an HP iPaq hx4700, it died last December the day before I would have needed it the most (as a GPS) in those 5 years, just my luck! I ended up borrowing a GPS for the next day and went without a Pocket PC for about 2 ...

Two Week review: I had an RX3715 with WinCE 2003 SE (AKA:WinMobile4). My fiance has a VGA 4705 which I upgraded to WinMobile 5. The upgrade had better features, but seemed to slow the faster processor down (as always). After three years on the ...

Pros: Brighter screen, faster processor, convenient buttons
Cons: expensive ($420)

My old Ipaq 4700 broke, so I decided to replace it with Ipaq 211. Was it worth? No. Why: Ipaq 211 is using stronger processor, but I didn't see big difference in speed between 4700 and 211. My impression is that my SD and CF cards are slow, and this is what slows 211 down. All my programs are installed on CF and SD cards. 211 has nicer colors, mini USB port, quickly recognizes external cards (4700 has some problems with this), power on button located on more convenient place, also has more convenient buttons.
My suggestion - don't replace Ipaq 4700 with Ipaq 211 - unless Bill Bates is your uncle. If you are looking for your first PDA - then go for it.
