iPAQ h5455 or h2215

xboxlord · 12-28-03, 09:24 PM

Here's my situation:

I have the opportunity to buy an h5455 for $330 or a h2215 for $300.

I don't need any of the fingerprint security, but I love the fact that the 5455 has dual wireless (BT+WiFi).]

I like the dual expansion slots (CF+SD) on the 2215 but I don't know if the money is worth it because I want constant wireless without the card slot being used up.

So either I get wireless built in with one SD slot or I get an SD slot and CF slot but the CF slot is always used up.

I guess I might use the fingerprint scanner and I certainly like the sturdyer (is that a word?), heavier PDA. I just like a sturdy, weighted PDA as opposed to feeling a piece of plastic in my shirt pocket.

I think I will go for the 5455 just because $30 more is cheaper than buying an additional card for a 2215.

I guess I just want advice on what to do. I miss the Jornada I sold because I feel I needed an upgrade, so now I need to choose that upgrade. The 5455 seems perfect for the price.

Any advice would be greatly apreciated.

To get a h5455 for only $330 is rather cheap. As much as I love the h2215 I would probably get the h5455 if I was in your position. Certainly because of the integrated BT and WiFi. Also you will get more memory. And don't forget that you can get either a PCMCIA sleeve or CF sleeve for the h5455. So expandability is there.

as much as i also love the h2215 units i see at stores, i think i will end up going with th 5455

sleeves are rather expensive though arent they? how much do they cost?

also, thy add a lot of thickness to the unit.

Sleeves can add thickness to the unit but it is good for expansion. I have seen sleeves around the $30 price range.

For that price, I would go with the 5455, too
