Summary: Serial Cradle
Review: I used this product for 13 days and returned it to Staples before their usual 14 day return policy expired. This is a great product, however, since I have a Windows NT machine, it is useless. (Windows NT can't use USB and I could not find a serial cradle anywhere.) I also wasn't thrilled with the size of the IPAQ. It is twice as thick as the Palm V. Way too big to put comfortably in my jeans pocket. Furthermore, it needs a cover to protect the screen. The Palm V leather case is the best example of how Compaq should design their unit/case.

Summary: My thoughts exactly!!
Review: I, too, have the iPAQ (since August 1) and suffer from the misfortune of using NT at work. Compaq customer service has done a terrific job of skirting the issue whenever I call as to when the serial cradles will be available. I have orders in with several e-tailers for the serial cradle, and their delivery dates keep getting pushed out. What's going on? I'm seriously thinking about selling my iPAQ on eBay, I've heard it commands top dollar there. In the meantime, it makes for a sharp looking paperweight!

Summary: iPAQ 3630 Useless with NT
Review: Like those who wrote before me, I too, use an NT laptop at work and while I am able to sync at home via the supplied USB cradle, all my really useful and important stuff is on the NT powered laptop! I have been everywhere (including several other cities across the country) and done everything I could think to do to try to find the serial cradle but to no avail. This seems to be a terrific product but unfortunately, it is nothing more than a expensive doorstop until I can get a serial cradle and sync with my data.

Summary: iPAQ NT4.0 workaround
Review: The iPaq's been out since June and I happened to be one of the first on hand when CompUsa had it on the shelf so I eagerly snatched it up. I can use the USB at home but I also needed the serial cradles for NT at work. Yet here it is October and the serial port still isn't available! Three months and all I've got is a $500 digital grocery list. And what's with CE ver 3? No close button on the applications! I don't even use it now, what a waste of money. Should've been smart and returned it within 14 days. I still drool over the display of accessories for every other hand held out there...

Summary: Serial Cradle Woes
Review: While it is a bummer that Compaq does not have any serial cradles available yet for NT4.0 users who don't have USB support, I bought a serial cable and it works just fine. I had no trouble getting it to synchronize with my workstation running Windows NT, although it's slower than USB, I guess. You can get the cable right here from Amazon.

Summary: Why the shortage when the European models are shipping w/ it
Review: why is there a shortage from Compaq for the Serial Cradles? and why are the Serial Cables coming out FIRST and charging you more ??A few people have gotten ahold of serial cables (i heard from Canada Compaq directly) what the heck ... the cables costs the same as the Serial Cradles.. Plus I thought the European Ipaq are shipping with the Serial Cradles instead of USB ..
