I went to website and Tried to purchase the upgrade. It even mentions 4705 as option, but when you go to purschase it only reference the 2215.

HELP!

Yes but the upgrade won't be out until approximately Feb '06.

So recently I wiped and re-setup my 4705, and tonight got to thinking about updates I probably should have done before cleaning house... I've never run a single HP update of any kind... driver, ROM, firmware...

I'd probably like to update to WM5, and even get a RAM upgrade sometime thereafter (my warranty recently expired, so... if I remember correctly I have the least to lose by upgrading RAM now)...

My question is this:

Should I do any pre-emptive updating before moving to WM5? (If it gets favorable reviews here, of course...)

My current specs read as such:

Product Revision Level : 1.0
ROM Date : 09/02/04
ROM Revision: 1.00.09 ENG
OS Version : Windows CE 4.21
Bootloader Version : 1.01
XIP Version : 4.21.14132.0

I consider myself pretty IT savvy, but HP's download section for the 47xx doesn't feel intuitive at ALL to me... I'm finding it *really* difficult to discern what updates actually apply to me and what I need!

Suggestions on updates, even if I don't move to WM5?

Thanks, all!

No need for any updates to "prep" for WM5.0 :)

As for updating to the latest ROM revision, you can do a search through the 4700 forum for feedbacks :approve:
