Summary: Ipaq 4155
Review: I have the ipaq 4155 for 1 week now, replacing my dell axim5 that I did love. But the size of the 4155 changes everything : its always in my pocket rather than in my briefcase.
My screen is not yellowish, little clearer and sharper than the Axim5 one. Application much faster, including videos and flight sim. Wifi works fine, Bluetooth not tested yet.
I really love it, very happy having buying it.
Minors Cons (to find some) :
- HP case : not to big, acceptable but not wonderfull (I'd like flap like clié or first palm III)
- the stylus is hard to get form its hole (you need nails...)
- plugging to the cradle is not very resistant and clever (you scratch the cradle every time and landing is difficult)NB : As no accessories for the 4100 family are in stores yet, I bought a HP1910 sync and charge cable to synchronise at home and it works fine !
Messenger needs a patch to work, and hp picture viewer is excellent.

Summary: A Pocket PC that finally works
Review: I've tried older Palm products and Pocket PC's in the past but nothing was worth it for me to carry around. But I've finally found something that works. The HP Ipaq 4155 is great. I really needed a PDA/pocket PC but didn't know what to get. I wanted wireless and like the windows interface. I liked the idea pocket word and excel and don't like graffiti. This was a bit pricey but I took a gamble and am happy I did!!! It has been super easy to use and understand. Syncing is a cinch with Outlook. The software that is included is quite handy and there is a lot of other auto-syncing software that is available for free that gives you daily news, movie reviews, maps etc. It's almost like being online. I have had no stalls or any problems that I can list. The wireless networking connected to my Linksys router without a single complication. And surfing the web works about as well as I expected. Pages load but you have to scroll around to see everything so I can find what I want but it's not as easy as a realy computer obviously. I have yet to try bluetooth. The screen and interface are great. It includes an extra stylus which is nice. All in all this has been everything I hoped for so far. If you're in the market for a Pocket PC and want features such as bluetooth and wireless networking then don't hesitate to get this one!!!

Summary: Wowee!
Review: I just got this PDA and I must admit... after jumping back and forth from Palm to PocketPC for the last two years trying to find a device that fits... I do believe I've been smitten. Cupid must have been packing a pistol, because I am in love with this device. What mare can you ask for powerful, compact, and connectivity for days. The OS is stable on this device and I have yet to have any problems worth mentioning. The latter could not be said for the Toshiba E740, Ipaq 1910, Tungsten T, T2, or T3. If you are in the market for a PDA and you are looking for form and function, you cannot pass this little diddy up.

Summary: The LCD cracks by itself!
Review: The LCD cracked while in my pocket with no drop or hit!
Sent the unit to HP and after bouncing around their customer service, I was charged $190 for the repair. Browsing the internet (unsuccessfully trying to find a cheaper repair option) I found several similar complains. It seems like the IPAQ4155 has a serious quality problem that costs 50% of the value of a new unit to fix. I am selling my unit as soon as it comes back from repair and will never by an IPAQ anymore!

Summary: Screen Breaks and it will.
Review: All the good reviews are from people that have just purchased this item. Wait till the screen breaks by its self.
I have owned 5 ipaqs, starting with the Aero and going all the way to 4155.
One day I looked at my ipaq and it had a crack on the screen about 1 inch long. I knew immediately that the crack will grow and it did.
The unit has never been dropped or mishandeled. Its does not even have a scratch on it. I am a person that uses a super fine tip fiber tip for my regular writing and never exert any pressure on the pen, letalone the stylus.
The crack came by its self and now the repair costs are in excess of 180 $.
After reading all the people that have broken their ipaq screens I am thinking of filing a class action law suit against HP. They should provide free screen replacements to their customers. (something similar to what compaq had to do to replace all floppy drives for their customers)
I will try to setup a blog page where we can get together and sue the company.

Summary: Melted screen
Review: As other reviewers I was very excited about this little toy, until (as happened with other reviewers too) the screen melted yesterday. Now I am stuck without the PDA and with a headache of fixing it. HP should spend more on engineering and quality parts, less on marketing.

Summary: Get a Palm.
Review: When I got up today I found my iPAQ 4155 with a melted screen. Sometime in the night sitting on it's base it just died. Called support and was told that it was a common thing to have happen. Then I was told that it would be $175.00 to fix it. I'm now going out and getting a Palm. I wish I would have saved my money.

Summary: Would be a 5 if the 802.11B were easier to set up
Review: I love this little thing. I bought it to take class notes in college, and for the organizing capability when i am done. Used with a IR keyboard, this little thing is perfect, small, light and lasted me for 6 hours of notetaking a day, and allowed me to back up to the SD card I have in case the battery dies.
I first got used to an M100 a few years back, so this was quite the cnage with OS and all, so there was a learning curve. I do love it though, and accessing most websties (some do not work with the pda - not HP's fault) from school or downtown Portland is an awesome feature.
I don't see replacing this anytime soon, I am hooked. It's integrations with my laptop (runs Win2k) is great.

Summary: iPQA 4155 is too fragile, shatters when dropped
Review: The iPAQ 4155 is a perfect palmtop for you if you never drop anything. Previous HP palmtops that I've owned have been sturdy and could handle being dropped even in parking lots. I accidentally dropped the iPAQ 4155 in my house two months after purchase. It shattered. I had made the mistake of not purchasing an accidental damage warranty ($100/year). HP support was unhelpful and rude and expensive.

Summary: nice piece of hardware, but no 2003SE update
Review: The 4155 is a very nice hardware. Good design and high quality manufactured. The mixture of features (WLan, Bluetooth, Irda, changable akku) combined in such a tiny and lightwight device is impressive.
But reading that HP decided they will NOT supply upgrades of Pocket PC 2003 Second Edition for this device makes me thinking that I should have bought something else...
