    Pros: Full featured, works well at first.
    Cons: Doesn't work after it matures.

    Summary: Love this machine when it works. Unfortunately, it doesn't love me. My first one had a dead spot on the touch sensitive screen. I was sent a refurbished model, which was unable to go wireless upon arrival, so I was sent another refurbished model. This ... read more

    Nov 13, 2004
    Pros: size, backlight, fast, versatile, entertaining, wireless, internet browsing
    Cons: battery life on wireless, lack of freeware, screen calibration and contamination

    Summary: I have owned this unit a little more than a year. The reason I like this Pocket PC is that is truly a PC. It is more powerful than my last laptop and more powerful than my second to last desktop. I can run Excel which is great and I use that a ... read more

  • The best PDA I ever had

    Cons: Price, feel for left hand users

    Summary: Before September 2003 i had in my possesion a plam tungstem T2 (see my review), which i found ok for a basic user, but after an unfortunate meeting with a man in an alley i was left without one! Therefore i needed a replacement, i had £600 (sounds over ... read more

  • Top of the line.

    Pros: Great battery life. Awesome wireless. Great color display. Nice case.
    Cons: It will soon be outdated. Screen is much too bright and affects some games.

    Summary: This Ipaq is in league with many small laptops by ibm's thinkpad standards. With 128 MB SD-RAM and a 400 mhz processor it's catching up with my win2k machine. The tech specs are all here, but what about actual usability information. - This pda can ... read more

  • iPAQ H5555 Combines Power of Laptop in a Smaller Form Factor

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 6, 2003
    Pros: Fast Processor, Beautiful Big Screen, Built-In Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, Windows Mobile 2003
    Cons: Hefty Price of $649, Wi-Fi Consumes Power

    Summary: I'm a 23 year old engineering student whose main interest is cars and PDA's, and this is the mother of all PDA's. I began my first experience with PDA's (which I believe stands for Personal Digital Assistant) back in 1998 when the Palm III came out and ... read more

  • The h5555 is a high maintenance primadonna!

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Apr 11, 2005
    Pros: Broad features
    Cons: High-cost maintenance

    Summary: I bought the IPAQ h5555 in mid-March 2004. The end of August, when I was still using the h5555 just lightly, it wouldn't take an AC charge, and under the warranty it went for repair. HP had to virtually rebuild the entire unit's inners. I was warned I

  • Poor switches

    Jan 21, 2005
    Pros: Finger print works. Reasonable wifi and blue tooth. It has typical windows ?reliability.
    Cons: Mostly the side switches break too easy. Battery life is acceptable.

    Summary: I have had my h5555 for 1 1/2 years and have had problems with it charging and then it complained about not being able to do something with the pim agent. There was no help in the help file on the pim agent and therefore there was no way to figure out

  • HP iPAQ H5555 PDA

    Jan 9, 2005
    Pros: Biometric Fingerprint/Large Screen/Accurate Transcriber/Wireless LAN & Bluetooth
    Cons: Short Battery Life

    Summary: This PDA is absolutely amazing. The biorietric fingerprint feature is truly impressive and accurate. I couldn't ask for more features and user-friendliness in one device. I have just upgraded from the HP iPAQ H4150, which was also a great machine, but

  • Nice but limited battery life

    Pros: Reliable, durable(passed the drop test - dohh!)belt clip hides under your suit jacket, good quality.
    Cons: Battery Life!, intermittent connection problems, lack of voice memo button

    Summary: I purchased my H555 about two years ago. I had to replace a stolen IPAQ so I decided to go all out. I use bluetooth at home for remote printing and wireless for internet access so I assumed this would be a perfect fit. And it is for the most part. The

    Pros: 802.11B WiFi Adapter, Bright Color Screen
    Cons: Battery, Pocket PC is clunky OS, poor documentation

    Summary: I received the HP 5555 as my TAP Replacement (CompUSA's Technical Assurance Program, I don't buy warranties, but I do buy replacement plans) for an older Jornada. I was most interested in the 802.11b interface. Since then I've not let go of my new toy,

  • Nice idea but no cigar

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Mar 31, 2004
    Pros: Good design. Easy to use because of Windows format.
    Cons: One thing after another has gone wrong.

    Summary: My husband purchased my first Compaq IPAQ just over two years ago--thank goodness he also purchased a three year service warranty. After 6 months with machine #1, the battery simply stopped working. I was told the main battery replacements were so

  • Wonderful but slim keyboard driver is awful

    Jan 27, 2004
    Pros: best design and screen is wonderful. Memory and installed programs are quite good
    Cons: service is awful - they have no answers

    Summary: the overall design is great. If you can force it into the landscape format with third party softwear the H5555 is the top. However, I purchased the HP Slim keyboard and it is just awful. They need to revise the driver. You never know if it will work. The

    Pros: Wireless Lan, Screen, back light, Usefulness
    Cons: Finger Print scanner not really useful, No compact flash slot

    Summary: When I saw that Compaq had merged with HP I was worried. When I saw that Compaq's Ipaq was now made by HP I was scared. But I decided to give it a chance to prove it's self. Boy was I glad I did. The screen quilty is amazing. The back light is very
