HP will never make it possible to install WM 5.0 on older iPAQs. Quite a few of the older model iPAQs would be virtually impossible to upgrade to 5.0.

Is it possible to upgrade a HP 3715 to Windows Mobile 2005

Probably not, but they'd have to release a full rom upgrade to make it even Possible. But even then, they probably wouldn't be able to get it working at all. I wouldn't recommend it anyway. I usually don't say things like this (it is not like me at all), but you should get a new device. When it comes to PPCs, I spare no expense! This is the only thing I do this on. Everything else I wait and wait...forever. I don't even have a G router! I still use B because it does what I need. With my iPaq, even if my ipaq does what I need, I'd probably upgrade. I can't promise that this is my poliy, though, because my last upgrade included wifi, bluetooth, and a CF slot--plus lots more. So my theory could fall apart with the next devices if they aren't much better.

I'd like to add something. Forget what I said above. My rule of thumb is to buy a new device when the new features are worth it. My first device doesn't count cause I returned it. My second was the 3800 and I waited past the 3900 and all the 5000 series devices (which there were two of, I think) to get the 4700. Both my 3800 and 4700 cost about the same amount of money--which is interesting. Anyway, I waited about 3 years before I upgraded and that was perfect for me. Any less and I would have been mad because the HX4700 was a MAJOR upgrade. The 5000 series was just minor and the price was also the same.
