As far as I understood the 210 and 211 referred to the same unit.

They are, but they had a different web site url. Prior to 12/3 you could get to an HP web page that looks very much like the one you provided, but for the 211. On 12/3 that link provided an blank HP web page...

The 210 one you provided is still active.

According to the product guide filed with the FCC, the iPAQ 200 series is actually 133.8 mm in length as opposed to the 126 mm reported on hp's website.

Vaporware until generally available at retail.

You don't - given that the 310 is a crap, the 210 has a good chance to be a crap as well

Now there's some convoluted illogic!

what number you guys calling to get some information?
cos the customer service number is always busy, ive spent 10 minutes just listening to the radio!

I would wait for the 210. I have a 110/111. Box says 111 device says 111. I find the screen har compared to other iPAQs and it tends to miss some key taps. It always wants to be on. I don't know if it is the location of the on/off switch and the fact that any plugging into the USB port turns the device on. I am always finding it on in my pocket.
Also I hope the 210 has the HP protection software. The 110 has the Microsoft protecetion/lock software and that is always active such that you are always finding the system locked even if just docked for 10 minutes. I like the HP version better it only satrts the timer after the device has been turned off. Also fo some reason after a soft reset my device always reverts back to a bightness timeout setting of 1 minute unless I disable that function.

whats going on now???

10/12/2007 ???? how is that an ETA??? that was 2 days ago!

Hi,

Just a thought here.

Anyone that is cheezed off at the delays, consider there might be a good reason for the delays?

With the recent news of WM6.1 available after the first of the year, maybe HP is just being smart to be able to have the latest and best OS for their customers.

I want this too but am willing to wait and not go off on HP when I do not know the reasons for the delay in release.

Have they handled it well? No but then most companies are not well versed in communicating with their customers.

Be patient and it will come.

Must mean Dec 10 (European nomenclature)

Oops! Never mind! (Glad my daughters didn't catch this one!)
