Help--downgrade to an ipaq 4150??

I'm getting an ipaq 4150 from my employer. I took one (it's free), but need some help. Should I replace my x50v? Use both? Forget the ipaq (no longer being supported by HP since it's WM 2003 vintage)? I don't currently use the CF slot. The ipaq looks very nice and will have software/ IS support at work.

I would use the newer...then trot out the older one when they want to see it. :approve:

I have both; the 4150 is a very nice device. It connects easily to the 'net, has bluetooth, etc. As far as I'm concerned, it's only flaw is lack of VGA. For that reason, I'd sure as heck keep the Axim, but take the 4150 along when you need a very small device to keep your appointments and stuff.

One for work, and one for home?

When I saw the Ipaq it was striking how classy looking it is. But after having an X50v, it's hard to look at the screen--has a dot-matrix look in comparison. I like the idea of a spare. I'm lost without my ppc.

I LOVE my 4150. Although I'm not sure exactly how much support you'd need anyway from the company.

Hopefully free or deeply discounted medical software. Also, Outlook will be available (had it only at home until now). I'll have to figure out privacy issues, but that's another thread, I suppose. I see why you've kept your 4150. It's a beauty. Thanks BTW for your comments and help; this site is great.

Would you like some cash with it?
Seriously, it is an embarassment of riches, I'll admit.

the good thing about the 4150 is it's battery life is MUCH better than the x50v.
